• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FG116 - No deletion authorization for company code & ?

  The SAP error message FG116 "No deletion authorization for company code &" typically occurs when a user attempts to delete a financial document or record in a company code for which they do not have the necessary authorization. This is a common issue in SAP systems where user roles and authorizations are strictly managed to ensure data integrity and security.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization to delete records in the specified company code.
  Role Configuration: The user's role may not include the necessary permissions for deletion actions.
  Company Code Restrictions: The company code may have specific restrictions or settings that prevent deletions.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization failure details. This will show which specific authorization object is missing.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction code SU01 or PFCG.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorization, a security administrator or someone with the appropriate permissions should modify the user's role to include the required authorization objects for deletion in the relevant company code.

  F_BKPF_AKT (Authorization for Accounting Document)
  
  
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the necessary authorizations.

  Ensure that there are no specific settings in the company code configuration that restrict deletions. This can be checked in the configuration settings for the company code.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After adjustments are made, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, attempt the deletion again.
