• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message T0136 - Chosen function not permitted ?

  The SAP error message T0136 ("Chosen function not permitted") typically occurs when a user attempts to perform an action or access a function that they do not have the necessary authorizations for. This can happen in various contexts, such as when trying to execute a transaction, access a report, or perform a specific operation within the SAP system.
  Causes:
  
  Authorization Issues: The most common cause is that the user’s role does not include the necessary authorizations for the function they are trying to access.
  Configuration Settings: Certain functions may be restricted due to configuration settings in the system.
  User Status: The user may be in a status that does not allow them to perform the action (e.g., locked or inactive).
  Transaction Restrictions: Some transactions may have restrictions based on the user's profile or the organizational structure.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after receiving the error to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which authorization object is missing.
  Review the user’s roles and profiles in transaction SU01 or PFCG to ensure they have the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Role Adjustment:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorizations, a security administrator can modify the user’s roles or create a new role that includes the necessary authorizations.
  Ensure that the role is properly assigned to the user.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not an administrator, contact your SAP security team or system administrator to investigate and resolve the authorization issue.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  If the function is restricted due to configuration settings, review the relevant configuration in the system to determine if changes are needed.
  
  
  
  User Status Check:
