This is a common issue in systems with strict authorization controls, especially in modules related to Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) or Recipe Management.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user attempting to delete the recipe does not have the required authorization object assigned to their user profile. This could be due to missing roles or permissions in the user's authorization profile.

  Object-Specific Restrictions: There may be specific restrictions on the recipe that prevent deletion, such as being in use or having dependencies.
  
  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 SU01 to check the user's roles and authorizations.

  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles, contact your SAP security or basis team. Provide them with the error message and the details from SU53 to help them understand the issue.
  
  
  
  Check Recipe Status:
