  Cause:
  The error occurs because the user attempting to perform the copy operation does not have the necessary authorizations to access or modify the trader data for the specified company code. This can happen due to:

  Authorization Object Restrictions: Specific authorization objects related to trader data management may not be assigned to the user.
  Company Code Restrictions: The user may not have the required authorizations for the specific company code involved in the operation.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the T0861 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:

  Review the user’s roles and profiles in transaction SU01 or PFCG to ensure that the necessary authorizations are included.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify their roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations for copying trader data.
  Ensure that the role includes the relevant authorization objects, such as F_BKPF_BWA for accounting documents or F_LFA1_APP for vendor master data.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can help identify and assign the appropriate authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations, have the user attempt the operation again to confirm that the issue has been resolved.
