• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/WBN059 - Only delegated numbers can be deleted ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/WBN059 Only delegated numbers can be deleted typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when a user attempts to delete a number (such as a transportation request, shipment, or other related objects) that they do not have the necessary permissions to delete. This is often related to the delegation of authority or ownership of the object in question.
  Cause:
  
  Permission Issues: The user does not have the required authorization to delete the specific object. In SAP TM, certain objects can only be deleted by users who have been delegated the authority to do so.
  Ownership: The object may be owned by another user or role, and only that user or those with delegated permissions can perform deletion.
  System Configuration: The system may be configured to restrict deletion of certain objects based on business rules or workflows.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Authorizations: Verify the user's authorization profile to ensure they have the necessary permissions to delete the object. This may involve checking roles and authorizations in transaction PFCG.
  Delegation of Authority: If the user needs to delete the object, they may need to request delegation from the current owner or administrator. This can involve setting up delegation in the system.
  Consult with Administrator: If the user believes they should have the ability to delete the object, they should consult with their SAP system administrator or security team to review and adjust permissions as necessary.
  Review Object Ownership: Identify who owns the object and whether that user can delegate deletion rights or perform the deletion themselves.
  System Configuration Review: If the issue persists, it may be necessary to review the system configuration or business rules that govern object deletions in SAP TM.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as PFCG (Role Maintenance) for checking authorizations and SCMTMS for accessing Transportation Management functionalities.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation or help files related to authorization management and object ownership in SAP TM.
  Support: If the issue cannot be resolved internally, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance.
