  The SAP error message TBTC_RUNTIME_STAT003 indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorization to perform a specific action related to batch processing. The message specifically states that the user needs authority BTCADMIN for the authorization object S_BTCH_ADM.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when a user attempts to execute a transaction or access a function that requires administrative privileges for batch processing, but their user profile does not include the necessary authorization. The authorization object S_BTCH_ADM is used to control access to batch administration functions, and the BTCADMIN authorization is typically required for users who need to manage batch jobs.
  Solution:

  Identify the User: Determine which user is encountering the error.

  If the user does not have the BTCADMIN authorization, you will need to assign it. This can be done by adding the user to a role that includes the necessary authorizations or by directly assigning the authorization object to the user.
  You can use transaction code PFCG to modify roles and add the required authorization object S_BTCH_ADM with the appropriate values.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes: After making the changes, have the user log out and log back in, then attempt to perform the action again to see if the error persists.
  
  
  Consult with Security Team: If you do not have the necessary permissions to make these changes, you will need to work with your SAP security team or administrator to ensure the user is granted the appropriate access.
