  Cause
  This error occurs because the user attempting to modify bank details in SAP does not have the necessary authorization. Specifically, the user lacks the required authorization objects or permissions to change bank master data or related financial information.
  In SAP, sensitive data such as bank details are protected by authorization checks to ensure only authorized personnel can make changes. If these checks fail, the system throws this error.
  
  Common Scenarios
  
  Modifying vendor or customer bank details in the master data.
  Changing employee bank details in HR master data.
  Updating bank information during workflow steps that require approval or modification.
  Attempting to change bank details in financial documents or payment transactions without proper rights.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Verify the user's roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 or PFCG.
  Identify if the user has the necessary authorization objects related to bank master data.
  
  
  
  Relevant Authorization Objects:
  
  F_BKPF_BEK – Authorization for bank master data.
  F_BKPF_BEK – Authorization to change bank details.

  F_KNA1_BEK – Authorization to change customer bank details.
  P_ORGIN – HR authorization object for personnel data changes (if employee bank details).
  S_TCODE – Authorization for the transaction code used to modify bank details.
  
  
  
  Assign or Adjust Roles:
  
  Add or adjust roles to include the necessary authorization objects with appropriate activity (usually activity 02 = Change).
  Ensure that the organizational levels (company code, purchasing organization, personnel area, etc.) are correctly maintained in the authorization.
  
  
  
  Test the Authorization:
  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check which authorization check failed.
  Use ST01 trace for detailed authorization trace if needed.
