  The SAP error message Q0540, which states "You are not authorized to create the sample-drawing procedure," typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorization to perform the action of creating a sample-drawing procedure in the Quality Management (QM) module of SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization object or role that permits the creation of sample-drawing procedures.
  User Role Configuration: The user's role may not include the necessary permissions for the specific transaction or function.
  Profile Restrictions: The user's profile may have restrictions that prevent access to certain functionalities within the QM module.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  
  
  
  Review User Roles:
  
  Consult with your SAP security administrator to review the roles assigned to your user account. Ensure that the role includes the necessary authorizations for creating sample-drawing procedures.

  Ensure that the relevant activities (like creating, changing, displaying) are included in the authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Request Additional Access:
