  The SAP error message /SCMB/SC_DATA000 You are not authorized to delete log data typically occurs when a user attempts to delete log data in the SAP system but does not have the necessary authorizations to perform that action. This error is related to the authorization checks in the SAP system, specifically for the Supply Chain Management (SCM) module.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorization object to delete log data. This is often due to missing roles or permissions assigned to the user profile.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the specific transaction or action they are trying to perform.
  System Configuration: There may be system-wide settings that restrict certain actions based on user roles or profiles.
  
  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 authorizations in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary administrative rights, you can modify the user’s roles to include the required authorization objects. The relevant authorization object for deleting log data in SCM is typically /SCMB/LOG or similar.
  Ensure that the role includes the necessary activity (e.g., 02 for delete) for the relevant authorization object.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles, contact your SAP security team or administrator. Provide them with the details of the error and the transaction you were trying to perform.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After adjustments are made, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, attempt the action again to see if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects in SAP SCM that pertain to log data management.
