• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message M_RSAO005 - Not authorized to delete MS document &1 ?

  The SAP error message M_RSAO005 indicates that a user is not authorized to delete a Material Document (MS document) in the system. This error typically arises when a user attempts to perform an action that requires specific authorizations that they do not possess.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorization in the user's role or profile. In SAP, authorization checks are performed to ensure that users have the necessary permissions to execute certain actions, such as deleting documents. If the user does not have the required authorization object for deleting material documents, this error will occur.
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs. This will show you the last authorization check that failed and provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Roles:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance). Ensure that the user has the necessary roles that include the authorization to delete material documents.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the required authorization is missing, you may need to modify the user's roles or create a new role that includes the necessary authorizations. The relevant authorization objects for material document deletion typically include:
  
  M_MATE_WRK (Material Master: Plant Data)
  M_MATE_LNR (Material Master: General Data)
  M_MATE_BW (Material Master: Inventory Management)
  
  
  Ensure that the authorization for the action "Delete" is included in the relevant authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator. They can assist in reviewing and updating the user's authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Then, attempt the action again to see if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SU01: User Maintenance
  PFCG: Role Maintenance
  SU53: Authorization Check Analysis
  
  
  Authorization Objects:
  
  Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects and their fields to understand what permissions are necessary for specific actions in SAP.
  
  
  Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's internal guidelines for managing user roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to grant the necessary permissions for deleting material documents.
