This error typically arises when a user attempts to trigger a reauthorization for an order, but there is an existing authorization failure that prevents this action.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the necessary authorizations to perform the action on the specified order. This could be due to missing roles or permissions in the user's profile.

  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the SAP system that are preventing the reauthorization process from being triggered.
  Data Integrity Issues: There could be inconsistencies or errors in the data associated with the order that are causing the authorization check to fail.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
