  The SAP error message /LIME/CORE087 No authorization to delete a stock item &1, auth. group &2 indicates that the user attempting to delete a stock item does not have the necessary authorization for that action. This is a common issue in SAP systems where authorization checks are in place to ensure that only users with the appropriate permissions can perform certain actions, such as deleting stock items.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Group: The stock item is assigned to a specific authorization group, and the user does not have the required authorization for that group.
  User Role: The user's role may not include the necessary permissions to delete stock items.
  Missing Authorization Object: The relevant authorization object for stock deletion may not be included in the user's profile.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Roles: Review the roles assigned to the user in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance). Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations for stock deletion.
  
  
  Authorization Object: Identify the relevant authorization object for stock deletion. Common authorization objects related to inventory management include:
  
  M_MATE_WRK (Material Master: Plant Data)
  M_MATE_LNR (Material Master: General Data)

  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for these objects.
  
  
  Authorization Group: Check the authorization group assigned to the stock item. You can do this by looking at the material master data in transaction MM03 (Display Material). If the user needs access to this authorization group, it may need to be added to their profile.
  
  
  Consult with Security Team: If you do not have the necessary permissions to modify user roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can help adjust the user's authorizations as needed.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes to the user's roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Then, attempt the deletion again.
