  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Review the user’s authorizations in transaction SU01 or PFCG to ensure they have the necessary roles and authorizations.

  If the user lacks the required roles, work with your SAP security team to assign the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations for the APO module.
  Ensure that the roles are up to date and include the necessary authorization objects related to the actions the user is trying to perform.
  
  
  
  Authorization Object Review:
  
  Check the specific authorization objects related to APO, such as S_APO, S_TCODE, and others that may be relevant to the user's tasks.
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for the specific planning objects they are trying to change.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect.
  Test the action again to confirm that the error has been resolved.
