  The SAP error message /PLMI/CR_BO063 indicates that you are attempting to delete a change record of a specific record type, but your user does not have the necessary authorizations to perform this action. This is a common issue in SAP systems where security and authorization checks are in place to prevent unauthorized changes to data.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user executing the delete operation does not have the required authorization to delete change records of the specified record type.
  Record Type Restrictions: Certain record types may be configured in the system to be non-deletable for specific users or roles.
  Business Logic: The system may have business rules that prevent the deletion of certain change records to maintain data integrity.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Verify the user's roles and authorizations in the SAP system. You can do this by using transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see what authorization checks failed.
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for the specific record type. This may involve checking the authorization objects related to change record management.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, consult with your SAP security team to request the appropriate roles or authorizations to be assigned to the user.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration settings for the specific record type in the relevant customizing transactions. Ensure that there are no restrictions set that prevent deletion for the user role.
  
  
  
  Business Process Review:
  
  If the deletion is part of a business process, review the business logic to ensure that deleting the change record is indeed the correct action. Sometimes, it may be necessary to follow a different process to handle the data instead of deletion.
  
  
  
  Use Alternative Methods:
  
  If deletion is not allowed due to business rules, consider whether there are alternative methods to achieve the desired outcome, such as marking the record as inactive or archiving it instead.
