• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message F2373 - No authorization to mark general data for deletion ?

  The SAP error message F2373, "No authorization to mark general data for deletion," typically occurs when a user attempts to mark general data (such as customer or vendor master data) for deletion but lacks the necessary authorizations to perform this action.
  Cause:
  The error is primarily caused by insufficient authorization in the user's role or profile. In SAP, access to perform certain actions, including marking data for deletion, is controlled by authorization objects. If the user does not have the appropriate permissions assigned to their user profile, they will encounter this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error. This will display the last authorization check and help identify which specific authorization object is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code SU01 to view the user's profile and roles.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Roles:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user in transaction PFCG. Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorizations for marking general data for deletion.
  The relevant authorization objects may include F_BKPF_BES (for accounting documents) or F_LFA1_APP (for vendor master data), among others.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the necessary authorizations are missing, you may need to modify the existing roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations.
  Work with your SAP security team or administrator to ensure that the changes comply with your organization’s security policies.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Attempt to mark the general data for deletion again to verify that the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
