• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TXX166 - No authorization for deleting data: company code &1; group &2 ?

  The SAP error message TXX166 indicates that a user is attempting to delete data for a specific company code and group but does not have the necessary authorization to perform this action. This is a common issue in SAP systems where authorization checks are in place to ensure that only users with the appropriate permissions can modify or delete sensitive data.
  Cause:
  
  Lack of Authorization: The user does not have the required authorization object to delete data for the specified company code and group.
  Role Configuration: The user's role may not include the necessary permissions for the deletion operation.
  Company Code Restrictions: There may be specific restrictions or settings in place for the company code that prevent deletion.
  
  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 profiles in transaction SU01 or PFCG to ensure that the necessary authorizations are included.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the required authorization is missing, you may need to modify the user's role or create a new role that includes the necessary authorization objects (e.g., F_BKPF_BES, F_BKPF_BUK, etc.) for the deletion of data.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the required access.
  
  
  
  Review Company Code Settings:
  
  Ensure that there are no specific settings or configurations at the company code level that restrict deletion actions.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to authorizations, test the deletion action again to confirm that the issue has been resolved.
