• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/PE193 - No authorization to delete selection &1 of user &2 ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/PE193 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to delete a specific selection in the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module. This error typically arises when a user attempts to delete a selection (like a planning book, data view, or other selections) that they do not have permission to modify or delete.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization object to perform the delete operation. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations in their user profile.
  Selection Ownership: The selection may be owned by another user, and the current user does not have the rights to delete selections owned by others.
  System Configuration: There may be specific configurations in the system that restrict certain users from deleting selections.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization checks failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorizations are missing.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 or PFCG to ensure they have the necessary permissions to delete selections.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to add the appropriate roles or authorization objects to their user profile. Common authorization objects related to APO selections include:
  
  S_APO_PLN (for planning-related authorizations)
  S_USER_AUTH (for general user authorizations)
  
  
  Consult with your SAP security team to ensure the user has the correct roles assigned.
  
  
  
  Ownership Verification:
  
  Verify if the selection is owned by another user. If so, the current user may need to request the owner to delete the selection or have the necessary permissions granted.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to authorization issues in APO for any specific guidance or updates that may be relevant.
