  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/DMRES116 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to change a specific definition in the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module. This error typically arises when a user attempts to modify a resource, planning object, or other definitions in the system without the appropriate permissions.
  Cause:
  
  Lack of Authorization: The user does not have the required authorization object assigned to their user profile to make changes to the specified definition.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the specific action they are trying to perform.
  Object-Specific Restrictions: There may be restrictions on certain objects that prevent changes from being made by users without specific authorizations.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.

  Ensure that the roles assigned to the user include the necessary permissions to change definitions.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary access to modify roles, contact your SAP security or basis team. Provide them with the details of the error and the actions you were attempting to perform.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After adjustments are made, have the user log out and back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, attempt the action again to verify that the issue is resolved.
