• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ISDFPS/PM_MBOOK066 - User & not authorized to delete spool order & ?

  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/PM_MBOOK066 User & not authorized to delete spool order & indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorization to delete a spool order in the SAP system. This is a common issue related to user permissions and roles within the SAP environment.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user attempting to delete the spool order does not have the required authorization object to perform this action. In SAP, access to various functions is controlled by authorization objects, and if a user lacks the necessary permissions, they will encounter error messages like this one.
  Role Configuration: The user's role may not include the necessary permissions for managing spool orders, including deletion.
  Spool Order Status: Sometimes, the status of the spool order may also affect whether it can be deleted, but in this case, the primary issue is likely related to authorization.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization object is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to view the user's roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary administrative rights, you can modify the user's roles to include the required authorizations. This typically involves adding the relevant authorization objects to the user's profile.
  The authorization object that is often relevant for spool management is S_SPO_DEV (Spool Administration).
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Administrator:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change user roles, contact your SAP security administrator or the person responsible for user management in your organization. Provide them with the error message and the context in which it occurred.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After changes are made to the user's authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new permissions take effect. Then, attempt to delete the spool order again.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Spool Management: Spool orders are used in SAP to manage print jobs and output requests. Understanding how spool management works can help in troubleshooting related issues.
  Authorization Concepts: Familiarize yourself with SAP's authorization concepts, including roles, profiles, and authorization objects, to better understand how to manage user permissions.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for detailed information on authorization objects and their usage.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the authorization issue and allow the user to delete the spool order as needed.
