• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/DS_AC105 - You are not authorized to delete this business document ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/DS_AC105: You are not authorized to delete this business document typically indicates that the user attempting to delete a business document in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) system does not have the necessary authorizations to perform that action. This is a common issue in systems with strict authorization controls to ensure data integrity and security.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization object to delete the specific business document.
  Role Configuration: The user's role may not include permissions for the deletion of certain document types.
  Document Status: The document may be in a status that does not allow deletion, although this is less common for this specific error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 or PFCG.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorization, a security administrator should modify the user's roles to include the required authorization objects. Common authorization objects related to document deletion in EWM include:
  
  /SCWM/DOCTYP (Document Type)
  /SCWM/ACTVT (Activity)
  
  
  Ensure that the role includes the necessary activities (like delete) for the relevant document types.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the necessary changes.
  
  
  
  Check Document Status:
  
  Verify if the document is in a status that allows deletion. If it is locked or in a completed state, it may not be deletable.
