  The SAP error message CRM_GPM_APPLICATION014 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to delete a specific object in the SAP CRM system. This error typically arises when a user attempts to perform a delete operation on an object (like a business partner, transaction, or document) for which they lack the required permissions.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user’s role or profile does not include the necessary authorizations to delete the specified object.
  Object Locking: The object may be locked by another user or process, preventing deletion.
  Configuration Settings: Certain configuration settings in the CRM system may restrict deletion based on business rules or status of the object.
  
  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 profiles in transaction PFCG to ensure that the necessary authorizations for deleting the object are included.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the required authorization is missing, you may need to modify the user’s role or create a new role that includes the necessary permissions. This may involve adding specific authorization objects related to the deletion of the object type in question.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to request the required authorizations.
  
  
  
  Check Object Status:
  
  Ensure that the object you are trying to delete is not in a status that prevents deletion. Some objects may have restrictions based on their current state (e.g., completed, approved).
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  If applicable, review any configuration settings that may impose restrictions on deletion. This may involve checking business rules or workflows that govern the lifecycle of the object.
