• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PPEFOC203 - No authorization to delete &1 &2 ?

  The SAP error message PPEFOC203 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 master data or transactional data.
  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, material, or another entity) requires certain permissions that the user does not possess.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs. This will show you the authorization check that failed and provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code SU01 to view the user's roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Roles:
  
  Identify the roles assigned to the user and check if they include the necessary authorizations for deleting the specific object.
  If the user lacks the required authorization, you may need to modify their roles or create a new role that includes the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary access to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security or basis team. Provide them with the details of the error and the object you were trying to delete.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After adjustments are made to the user's authorizations, have the user attempt the deletion again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: In SAP, authorizations are managed through authorization objects, which define the permissions for various activities. Common authorization objects related to deletion in the PP module may include C_TPLP_CUS (for production planning) or others specific to the type of object being deleted.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as:
  
  SU01: User Maintenance
  PFCG: Role Maintenance
  SU53: Display Authorization Check
  
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's internal guidelines for managing user roles and authorizations.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the authorization issue causing the PPEFOC203 error.
