I m trying to use bearer authorization using requestlibary of robot framework. Note: ${tokenval} getting value from another keyword. ${Body} value declared as a variable.

*** Test Cases ***
    Createnew
    ${tokenval}=     Get Token Client Credentials
    ${token1}=       Catenate  bearer  ${SPACE}  ${tokenval}
    ${headers}       content-type=application/json   Authorization=${token1}
    Create Session   apitest    https://testxxapi.com    ${headers}
    ${response}=     POST On Session   apitest   /deals/new   ${Body}
    ${resDict}=      convert to dictionary   ${response.json()}
    log              ${resDict}

But I m getting HTTPError: 403 Client Error. Same request with bearer authorization working in postman.

There's one issue with your code, and one potential you'd better change for the piece of mind.

The Catenate keyword combines its arguments in a single string using (by default) "space" as delimiter. Thus after this call:

${token1}=       Catenate  bearer  ${SPACE}  ${tokenval}

, the value you get is bearer the_token - 3 spaces b/n the two words. Drop the second argument, or just use

${token1}=       Set Variable    Bearer ${tokenval}

The other, potential issue is the casing of "Bearer" - according to the specs it should be treated case insensitive, but some Oauth 2.0 providers had bugs years ago where they expected it to be with a capital letter.
