• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message V1520 - No authorization for deleting sales documents in &1 &2 &3 ?

  The SAP error message V1520, which states "No authorization for deleting sales documents in &1 &2 &3," indicates that the user attempting to delete a sales document does not have the necessary authorization to perform this action. The placeholders (&1, &2, &3) typically represent specific identifiers related to the sales document, such as the document type, sales organization, or other relevant details.
  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 do based on their assigned roles. If a user tries to delete a sales document without the required permissions, this error message will be triggered.
  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 the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code SU01 to view the user's profile and roles.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Roles:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user in transaction PFCG. Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorizations for deleting sales documents.
  Look for authorization objects related to sales document deletion, such as V_VBAK_VKO (Sales Document: Authorization for Sales Organization) or V_VBAK_AAT (Sales Document: Authorization for Document Type).
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the required authorizations are missing, you may need to modify the existing roles or create a new role that includes the necessary authorizations.
  Work with your SAP security team or administrator to ensure that the changes comply with your organization's security policies.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Test the deletion of the sales document again to confirm that the issue has been resolved.
