  Cause:
  This error occurs when a user tries to block a supplier (vendor) in SAP but does not have the necessary authorization to perform this action. Blocking a supplier is a sensitive operation that typically requires specific permissions because it affects procurement and payment processes.
  
  Explanation:
  
  The system checks the user's authorizations when attempting to block a supplier.
  If the user lacks the required authorization object or the correct activity within that object, the system issues the WY141 error.

  The user must have the appropriate activity (usually activity 02 = Change) for the vendor account group or company code.
  
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to display the missing authorization.
  Alternatively, check the authorization trace with transaction ST01 to identify which authorization is missing.
  
  
  
  Grant Required Authorization:
