  The SAP error message A152 indicates that a user is not authorized to delete a specific object using the deletion object specified in the message. This typically occurs in scenarios where a user attempts to delete a record or an object in the SAP system but lacks the necessary permissions.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization to perform delete operations on the specified object. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations in their user profile.
  Deletion Object Restrictions: The deletion object itself may have restrictions that prevent certain users from performing delete operations.
  Configuration Settings: There may be specific configuration settings in the SAP system that restrict deletion actions based on user roles or other criteria.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization is missing.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 or PFCG to ensure that the necessary permissions for the deletion object are included.
