• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SRM_CALLMON_AUTH002 - You do not have authorization to delete source elements ?

  The SAP error message SRM_CALLMON_AUTH002 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to delete source elements in the SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) system. This error typically arises when a user attempts to perform an action that requires specific permissions that they do not possess.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorization in the user's role or profile. In SAP, authorization checks are performed to ensure that users can only perform actions that they are permitted to. If a user tries to delete source elements (such as purchase orders, contracts, or other related documents) without the necessary permissions, this error will be triggered.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Roles and Authorizations:
  
  Review the user's assigned roles and authorizations in the SAP system. This can be done by using transaction codes like SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to delete source elements. This typically involves checking the authorization objects related to SRM and source element management.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorizations, you may need to modify their roles or create a new role that includes the necessary permissions.
  Common authorization objects that may be relevant include:
  
  S_SRM_AUTH (SRM Authorization)
  S_SRM_DOC (SRM Document Authorization)
  
  
  Ensure that the role includes the appropriate activity (e.g., delete) for the relevant objects.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary access to modify roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can assist in reviewing and updating the user's authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user's roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect.
  Test the action again to confirm that the error has been resolved.
