This error typically occurs in the context of the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module, particularly when dealing with the Logistics Management (LM) functionalities.
  Cause:

  Modify Roles:
  
  If you identify missing authorization objects, you may need to modify the user’s roles in transaction PFCG to include the necessary authorizations.
  Ensure that the roles are properly assigned to the user and that they are activated.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to modify roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can help identify and grant the required authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
