  The SAP error message RU196 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to perform actions related to a specific order type and plant. This error typically arises in the context of production orders, maintenance orders, or other order-related transactions in SAP.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by a lack of authorization in the user's role or profile for the specified order type and plant. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Objects: The user’s role may not include the necessary authorization objects that control access to the specific order type and plant.

  Plant-Specific Restrictions: The user may have general access but lacks specific access to the plant in question.
