• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SAPLWSVD104 - You are not authorized to process the supplier data ?

  The SAP error message SAPLWSVD104 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to process supplier data. This typically occurs when a user attempts to access or modify supplier information in the SAP system without the appropriate permissions.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization roles or permissions to access supplier data.
  Role Assignment: The user may not have been assigned the correct role that includes the necessary authorizations for supplier data processing.
  Authorization Object: The specific authorization object related to supplier data (e.g., LFA1, LFB1, etc.) may not be included in the user's profile.
  User Status: The user might be in a status that restricts access to certain transactions or data.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Verify the roles assigned to the user in the SAP system. This can be done by navigating to the user management transaction (e.g., SU01).
  Ensure that the user has the necessary roles that include access to supplier data.

  Modify User Authorizations:
