• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PG183 - No delete authorization for &1 at &2 &3 exists ?

  The SAP error message PG183 "No delete authorization for &1 at &2 &3 exists" typically indicates that a user is attempting to delete an object (such as a record or entry) in the SAP system but does not have the necessary authorization to perform that action. The placeholders (&1, &2, &3) in the message will be replaced with specific details about the object and the context in which the error occurred.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization to delete the specified object. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations in their user profile.
  Object Type: The object type (e.g., material, customer, vendor) and the specific instance (e.g., material number, customer ID) are not authorized for deletion by the user.
  Authorization Group: The object may be assigned to an authorization group that the user does not have access to.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to analyze the authorization check. This will show what authorizations were missing.
  Review the user's roles and profiles in transaction SU01 or PFCG to ensure they have the necessary authorizations for deletion.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorization, a security administrator or someone with the appropriate permissions should modify the user's roles to include the required delete authorizations.
  Ensure that the roles assigned to the user include the necessary authorization objects (e.g., S_DATA, S_TABU_DIS, etc.) with the appropriate activity (e.g., 03 for delete).
  
  
  
  Authorization Group:
  
  If the object is assigned to an authorization group, ensure that the user has access to that group. This can be checked in the object’s configuration or master data.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP security team for specific authorization objects related to the type of object you are trying to delete.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations, have the user log out and back in, then attempt the deletion again to see if the issue is resolved.
