• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PPEENG014 - No authorization to delete &1 &2 ?

  The SAP error message PPEENG014 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to delete a specific object, which is identified by the placeholders &1 and &2. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP's Production Planning and Execution (PP) module, particularly when dealing with engineering change management or similar functionalities.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by insufficient authorization in the user's role or profile. The specific object that the user is trying to delete (e.g., a production order, a material, or a change document) is protected by authorization checks, and the user lacks the required permissions to perform the delete operation.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code SU01 to review the user's roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Identify the relevant authorization objects related to the deletion of the specific object type. Common authorization objects in the PP module include:
  
  C_TPLK_01 (for change management)
  C_PRODORD (for production orders)
  
  
  Check if the user has the necessary authorizations for these objects.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify their roles or create a new role that includes the required permissions.
  Work with your SAP security team or administrator to ensure that the user is granted the appropriate authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user's authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new permissions take effect.
  Attempt the delete operation again to verify that the issue has been resolved.
