  The SAP error message /SCMB/MC_PB_DEF048 indicates that a user is not authorized to read package type assignments in the Supply Chain Management (SCM) module. This typically occurs when a user attempts to access certain functionalities or data related to package types without having the necessary authorizations.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The primary cause of this error is that the user does not have the required authorization object assigned to their user profile. In SAP, access to various functionalities is controlled through authorization objects, and if the necessary permissions are not granted, the user will encounter this error.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the specific transaction or data access related to package type assignments.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to view the user's profile and roles.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:

  Add Required Authorization Objects:
