  The SAP error message FARR_FOUNDATION038 indicates that a user is not authorized to perform a cleanup operation on a new account principle (AccP) in a specific company code (CoCode). This error typically arises in the context of the SAP Asset Accounting (FI-AA) module, particularly when dealing with account principles and their associated authorizations.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by a lack of necessary authorizations for the user attempting to perform the cleanup operation. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Roles: The user does not have the required roles or permissions assigned to their user profile.
  Authorization Object Restrictions: The authorization objects related to asset accounting may not include the necessary permissions for the specific account principle or company code.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the system that restrict access to certain operations based on user roles.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  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 SU01 or PFCG to ensure that the necessary authorizations for asset accounting are included.
  
  
  
  Modify Authorization Roles:
  
  If the required authorizations are missing, you may need to modify the user’s roles or create a new role that includes the necessary permissions for the cleanup operation.
  Ensure that the authorization objects related to asset accounting (e.g., F_SKA1_AKT, F_SKA1_BER, etc.) are properly configured to allow the required actions.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary access to modify roles, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to request the required authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations, have the user attempt the operation again to verify that the issue has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
