  The SAP error message DFS_FE_COMMON196 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to delete a specific object or entry in the system. This error typically arises in scenarios where a user attempts to delete a document, record, or other data entities but lacks the required permissions.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user’s role or profile does not include the necessary authorization object for deletion.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to analyze the authorization check. This will show which authorization object is missing.
  Review the user’s roles and profiles in transaction SU01 or PFCG to ensure that the necessary authorizations for deletion 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 authorization objects (e.g., S_DATA, S_TCODE, etc.) for deletion.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the required access.
  
  
  
  Review Object-Specific Settings:
  
  Check if there are any specific settings or configurations that might be preventing deletion. This could include settings in the application or module you are working with.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to authorizations, test the deletion action again to ensure that the issue is resolved.
