• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CKTC026 - No authorization for deletion ?

  The SAP error message CKTC026 "No authorization for deletion" typically occurs when a user attempts to delete a material master record, a cost estimate, or another object in the SAP system but lacks the necessary authorizations to perform that action. This is a common issue in SAP environments where strict authorization controls are in place to ensure data integrity and security.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization object to delete the specific record. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations assigned to the user profile.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for deletion actions.
  Object-Specific Restrictions: Certain objects may have specific restrictions that prevent deletion unless certain conditions are met.
  
  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 object is missing.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can modify the user’s roles to include the required authorization objects for deletion. This may involve adding specific authorization objects related to material management or cost accounting, depending on the context of the deletion.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles, contact your SAP security team or administrator. Provide them with the details of the error and the context in which it occurred so they can assist in granting the appropriate authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Deletion Policies:
  
  Ensure that the deletion policies in your organization allow for the deletion of the specific object. Some organizations may have policies that restrict deletion to certain users or under certain conditions.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After adjustments are made, test the deletion process again to ensure that the issue has been resolved.
