FRMLDLG185 - Details

• The SAP error message FRMLDLG185, which states "You are not authorized to delete the composition," typically occurs when a user attempts to delete a composition (such as a formula or recipe) in the SAP system but lacks the necessary authorization to perform that action.
  
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization object to delete compositions. This is often related to roles and permissions assigned to the user in the SAP system.
  Role Configuration: The user's role may not include the necessary permissions for the specific transaction or object type related to the composition.
  Object Locking: The composition may be locked by another user or process, preventing deletion.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Verify the user's roles and authorizations in the SAP system. This can be done by using transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed.
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for the relevant authorization objects
