• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QF105 - You require additional authorizations to delete defects ?

  The SAP error message QF105, which states "You require additional authorizations to delete defects," typically occurs when a user attempts to delete a defect record in the Quality Management (QM) module but lacks the necessary authorizations to perform this action.
  Cause:
  The error is primarily caused by insufficient authorization in the user's role or profile. In SAP, authorization checks are in place to ensure that only users with the appropriate permissions can perform certain actions, such as deleting records. The specific authorizations required to delete defects may not be assigned to the user's role.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error. This will show you the authorization check that failed and provide insight into which specific authorization is missing.
  
  
  
  Review User Roles:
  
  Work with your SAP security team or administrator to review the roles assigned to your user account. Ensure that the necessary authorizations for deleting defects in the QM module are included in your roles.
  
  
  
  Assign Missing Authorizations:
  
  If specific authorizations are missing, the security team can modify your user role to include the necessary permissions. This may involve adding authorization objects related to defect management in QM.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After the necessary authorizations have been assigned, test the action again to confirm that you can now delete defects without encountering the error.
  
  
  
  Documentation:
  
  Ensure that any changes made to user roles and authorizations are documented for future reference and compliance purposes.
