This error typically occurs in the context of sales and distribution (SD) processes when a user attempts to access or modify data that they are not authorized to handle.
  Cause:
  The error message VK091 is triggered when:

  Solution:
  To resolve the VK091 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see the authorization check results. This will show which authorization object is missing.

  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator. They can help you analyze and adjust the authorizations as needed.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
