  SAP Error Message: WEBFI_MASTER210
  Message Text:
  
  You are not authorized to create business partner &1 category &2 in BD
  
  Cause
  This error occurs because the user attempting to create a Business Partner (BP) in SAP does not have the necessary authorization to create a BP of the specified category in the Business Domain (BD).
  
  &1 represents the Business Partner number or identifier.
  &2 represents the Business Partner category (e.g., Person, Organization, Group).
  The system checks authorizations based on the Business Partner category and the business domain or organizational context.
  The user’s role or profile lacks the required authorization objects or values to perform the creation action for that BP category.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Verify the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 or PFCG.
  Specifically, check for authorization objects related to Business Partner creation, such as:
  
  B_BUPA_GRP (Business Partner: Authorization for Group)
  B_BUPA_FUP (Business Partner: Authorization for Function)
  B_BUPA_DSP (Business Partner: Authorization for Display)
  B_BUPA_APPL (Business Partner: Authorization for Application)
  
  
  Ensure the user has the correct values for the Business Partner category and business domain.
  
  
  
  Adjust Roles/Profiles:
  
  If missing, add the necessary authorization objects and values to the user’s role.
  For example, if the user needs to create a BP of category "Organization," ensure the role includes authorization for that category.
  
  
  
  Check Business Partner Category Settings:
  
  Confirm that the BP category &2 is valid and allowed in the system for creation.
  Sometimes, custom restrictions or configurations might limit creation of certain BP categories.
  
  
  
  Test After Changes:
  
  After updating authorizations, have the user log off and log back in.
  Retry the creation of the Business Partner.
