  The SAP error message /AIF/PERS_TBL_GEN131 Permission failure typically indicates that there is a permissions issue related to the Application Interface Framework (AIF) in SAP. This error can occur when a user or process attempts to access or modify a resource for which they do not have the necessary authorizations.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user executing the action does not have the required authorizations to access the specific AIF objects or tables.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the AIF functionalities.
  Object-Specific Permissions: Certain AIF objects may have specific authorization checks that are not covered by the user's roles.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization checks failed. This will provide insight into what permissions are missing.
  Review the user's roles and profiles in transaction SU01 or PFCG to ensure they have the necessary authorizations for AIF.

  Common authorization objects for AIF include S_AIF_* (specific to AIF) and other relevant objects depending on the operations being performed.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to roles, consult with your SAP security team to request the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, test the functionality again to ensure that the error is resolved.
  
  
  
  Documentation:
