KZ512 - Details

• The SAP error message KZ512, which states "You are not authorized to delete CO transaction data," typically occurs when a user attempts to delete or modify Controlling (CO) transaction data without having the necessary authorizations. This is a common issue in SAP systems where security and authorization checks are strictly enforced to protect sensitive financial data.
  
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization object to perform the delete operation on CO transaction data.
  Role Configuration: The user's role may not include the necessary permissions for the specific transaction or data set they are trying to access.
  Data Protection: SAP has built-in mechanisms to prevent unauthorized changes to financial data, which is critical for maintaining data integrity.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization failure. This will show which authorization object is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code SU01 to view the user's roles
