  The SAP error message R111057, which states "You are not authorized to request a block," typically occurs when a user attempts to perform an action that requires specific authorizations that they do not possess. This error is often related to the authorization checks in the SAP system, particularly in the context of requesting a block for a material, vendor, or other entities.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the necessary authorization objects assigned to their user profile to perform the action of requesting a block.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the specific transaction or action.
  Organizational Level Restrictions: There may be restrictions based on organizational levels that prevent the user from performing the action.

  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  Review the authorization logs to identify the missing permissions.

  Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorization objects related to blocking requests.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can modify the roles to include the required authorizations. If not, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the necessary changes.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After adjustments are made, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
