  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CM_PHRASE005 - You have no authorization to delete phrase &1 ?

    The SAP error message CM_PHRASE005 indicates that a user is attempting to delete a phrase (typically a text or a description used in various SAP applications) but does not have the necessary authorization to perform this action. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:

    Cause:

    1. Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization object to delete phrases. This is often due to missing roles or permissions assigned to the user profile.
    2. Phrase Locking: The phrase may be locked by another user or process, preventing deletion.
    3. System Configuration: Certain configurations in the SAP system may restrict deletion of phrases based on specific criteria.

    Solution:

    1. Check User Authorizations:

      • Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check which authorization check failed.
      • Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction code SU01 or PFCG to ensure that the necessary permissions for deleting phrases are included.
    2. Request Additional Authorizations:

      • If the user does not have the required authorizations, contact your SAP security administrator to request the necessary roles or permissions.
    3. Check Phrase Status:

      • Ensure that the phrase is not locked. You can check this in the relevant transaction where phrases are managed (e.g., transaction SE63 for translation or CMOD for enhancements).
      • If the phrase is locked, you may need to wait for the other user to finish or unlock it if you have the necessary permissions.
    4. Consult Documentation:

      • Review SAP documentation or help files related to phrase management to understand any specific restrictions or requirements for deletion.
    5. System Configuration Review:

      • If the issue persists, it may be necessary to review the system configuration settings related to phrase management. This may require assistance from a technical consultant or SAP Basis team.
