• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /CCIS/TAX133 - You are not authorized for deletion of a tax hierarchy ?

  The SAP error message /CCIS/TAX133: You are not authorized for deletion of a tax hierarchy indicates that the user attempting to delete a tax hierarchy does not have the necessary authorization to perform this action. This is a common issue in SAP systems where user roles and authorizations are strictly managed to ensure data integrity and security.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization object to delete tax hierarchies. This could be due to missing roles or insufficient permissions assigned to the user profile.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the specific transaction or object related to tax hierarchy management.
  System Configuration: There may be system settings or configurations that restrict certain users from performing deletion actions on tax hierarchies.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary administrative rights, you can modify the user’s roles to include the required authorization objects. The relevant authorization objects for tax hierarchy management typically include:
  
  F_TAX_HIER (Tax Hierarchy Authorization)
  
  
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate activity (e.g., delete) for the tax hierarchy.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles, contact your SAP security or basis team. Provide them with the details of the error and the transaction you were trying to perform.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After adjustments are made, test the deletion again to ensure that the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization’s internal guidelines on user roles and authorizations for more detailed information on managing user permissions.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues or provide additional guidance related to tax hierarchy management and authorizations.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the authorization issue and successfully delete the tax hierarchy if you have the appropriate permissions.
