Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MPE_CORE022 - You are not authorized to delete this code ?

  The SAP error message MPE_CORE022 indicates that a user is attempting to delete a code (such as a master data record, configuration, or similar entity) but does not have the necessary authorization to perform this action. This is a common issue in SAP systems where user roles and authorizations are strictly managed to ensure data integrity and security.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorization object or role assigned to their user profile to delete the specific code.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for deletion actions.
  Object-Specific Restrictions: Certain objects may have specific restrictions that prevent deletion, even if the user has general deletion rights.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code SU01 to view the user’s roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user in transaction PFCG. Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorization objects for deletion.
  If the user needs to delete specific codes, ensure that the relevant authorization objects (e.g., M_MATE_WRK, M_MATE_MRP, etc.) are included in their roles.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can modify the roles to include the required authorizations. If not, contact your SAP security administrator to request the necessary changes.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or internal guidelines regarding user roles and authorizations to understand the specific requirements for deletion actions.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, test the deletion action again to ensure that the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects that control deletion rights in your specific SAP module (e.g., MM, SD, etc.).
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address specific issues related to authorization errors.
  User Training: Ensure that users are trained on the importance of authorizations and the correct procedures for requesting additional access if needed.
  
  If the problem persists after checking and updating authorizations, it may be necessary to involve your SAP Basis or security team for further investigation.
