This error typically arises in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) or SAP Logistics Execution (LE) when a user attempts to access or modify shipment cost data without the appropriate permissions.
  Cause:

  Ensure that the user is assigned to a role that includes the necessary permissions for maintaining shipment costs.
  
  
  
  Transport Planning Point Configuration:
  
  Verify the configuration of the transport planning point to ensure that it allows the user to maintain shipment costs. This may involve checking settings in the customizing transaction for transportation management.
