• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RTGP_APP018 - You are not authorized to delete routing &1 ?

  The SAP error message RTGP_APP018, which states "You are not authorized to delete routing &1," typically indicates that the user attempting to delete a routing does not have the necessary authorization to perform this action. This is a common issue in SAP systems where user roles and authorizations are strictly managed to ensure data integrity and security.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization object to delete routings. This could be due to missing roles or permissions assigned to the user profile.
  Routing Status: The routing may be in a status that does not allow deletion (e.g., it might be locked or in use).
  Configuration Settings: Certain configuration settings in the SAP system may restrict deletion based on specific criteria.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization failure. This will show which authorization object is missing.
  Review the user's roles and profiles in transaction SU01 or PFCG to ensure that the necessary authorizations for routing deletion are included.
  
  
  
  Request Additional Authorizations:
  
  If the user does not have the required authorizations, contact your SAP security team or system administrator to request the necessary permissions. They may need to add the relevant authorization objects (e.g., C_RTG_DLT for routing deletion) to the user's role.
  
  
  
  Check Routing Status:
  
  Ensure that the routing you are trying to delete is not currently being used in production or locked by another process. You can check the status of the routing in the routing management transaction (e.g., CA02 for changing routings).
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or internal guidelines regarding routing management and authorization requirements to ensure compliance with company policies.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After adjustments are made, test the deletion again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects related to routing management in SAP, such as C_RTG_DLT (Delete Routing).
  Transaction Codes:
  
  CA01: Create Routing
  CA02: Change Routing
  CA03: Display Routing
  SU53: Display Authorization Check
  SU01: User Maintenance
  PFCG: Role Maintenance
  
  
  
  If the issue persists after checking authorizations and routing status, further investigation may be required, potentially involving SAP support or consulting services.
