  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization to delete the specific request. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations in the user's profile.
  Request Status: The request may be in a status that does not allow deletion (e.g., already approved or processed).

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Authorizations:

  Review Request Status:
  
  Check the status of the request that the user is trying to delete. If it is already approved or in a processed state, the system may not allow deletion.

  Consult with SAP Security Team:
  
  If the user requires additional permissions, consult with your SAP security or basis team to adjust the roles and authorizations accordingly.
