• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CRM_FIELD_AUTH107 - You are not authorized to delete partners with function &1 ?

  The SAP error message CRM_FIELD_AUTH107 indicates that a user is attempting to delete a partner (such as a business partner or contact) with a specific function, but they do not have the necessary authorization to perform this action. The function in question is represented by &1 in the error message, which will be replaced by the actual partner function when the error occurs.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of authorization in the user's role or profile to delete partners with the specified function. This can happen due to:
  
  Authorization Roles: The user’s assigned roles do not include the necessary permissions to delete partners with that specific function.
  Custom Authorizations: There may be custom authorization checks in place that restrict deletion based on partner functions.
  Configuration Issues: The system may be configured in such a way that certain partner functions are protected from deletion.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see 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 SU01 or PFCG to ensure that the necessary permissions are included.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorization, you may need to modify their roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations for deleting partners with the specified function.
  Ensure that the authorization object related to partner functions (e.g., B_BUPA_RLT for business partner relationships) is included in the role.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary access to change roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to request the required changes.
  
  
  
  Review Custom Logic:
  
  If there are custom authorization checks implemented in the system, review the logic to ensure it aligns with business requirements and does not unnecessarily restrict deletions.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, test the deletion process again to confirm that the issue has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  Documentation: Review SAP documentation on user roles and authorizations to better understand how to manage and troubleshoot authorization issues.
