• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TEM_MESSAGES_AL113 - You are not authorized to delete versions for profile &1 ?

  The SAP error message TEM_MESSAGES_AL113 indicates that a user is attempting to delete versions for a specific profile but does not have the necessary authorization to perform this action. This is a common issue in SAP systems where user roles and authorizations are strictly managed to ensure data integrity and security.
  Cause:
  The error occurs due to insufficient authorization in the user's role. Specifically, the user lacks the necessary permissions to delete versions associated with the specified profile. This can happen for several reasons:
  
  The user’s role does not include the required authorization objects.
  The user is not assigned to the correct authorization profile.
  The authorization settings have been changed, and the user’s access has been restricted.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  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 Role Assignments:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user using transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance). Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations for deleting versions.
  
  
  
  Modify Authorizations:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can modify the user’s roles or create a new role that includes the required authorization objects. The relevant authorization objects may include:
  
  S_TCODE (Transaction Codes)
  S_USER_AUTH (User Authorizations)
  S_TMS_ADM (Transport Management System Administration)
  
  
  Consult with your SAP security team or administrator to ensure that the correct authorizations are granted.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations, 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.
  
  
  
  Documentation:
  
  Document any changes made to user roles and authorizations for future reference and compliance purposes.
