• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MDG_FICA_CHECK036 - No authorization for deletion of locks for process &1 ?

  The SAP error message MDG_FICA_CHECK036 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to delete locks for a specific process in the Master Data Governance (MDG) for Financial Accounting (FICA) module. This typically occurs when a user attempts to perform an action that requires higher-level permissions than they currently possess.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by insufficient authorization for the user role attempting to delete locks associated with a specific process. In SAP, locks are used to prevent data inconsistencies during concurrent processing, and only users with the appropriate permissions can manage these locks.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Roles and Authorizations:
  
  Verify the roles assigned to the user encountering the error. Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to delete locks for the specific process indicated in the error message.
  You may need to consult with your SAP security team or administrator to review and adjust the user's authorizations.
  
  
  
  Adjust Authorization Objects:
  
  The relevant authorization objects for managing locks in MDG may include S_TCODE, S_USER_AUTH, and others related to MDG and FICA processes. Ensure that the user has the necessary permissions for these objects.
  If the user needs to delete locks, they may require specific authorizations related to the transaction codes or functions involved in the lock management.
  
  
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  If applicable, check if the user is trying to access a specific transaction code that requires additional permissions. Ensure that the user has access to the transaction codes related to lock management.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to MDG and FICA for any specific requirements or configurations that may affect authorization settings.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new permissions take effect. Test the action again to see if the error persists.
