  The SAP error message S&036 indicates that there is an authorization issue when trying to display master data. This error typically arises when a user does not have the necessary authorizations to access specific master data objects in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorization objects assigned to their user profile to view the master data.

  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Check the relevant authorization objects (e.g., F_BKPF_BES, F_LFA1_APR, etc.) that are related to the master data you are trying to access. Ensure that the necessary fields are filled correctly in the authorization profiles.
