  Authorization Object Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration of the relevant authorization objects (e.g., S_APO_SNP) to ensure they are set up correctly to allow access to the required data.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to review and adjust the user’s authorizations as needed.
