• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VHURL359 - No authorization to delete account postings &1 &2 ?

  The SAP error message VHURL359 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to delete account postings for a specific account. This error typically arises in the context of financial transactions, where certain actions require specific permissions.
  Cause:
  The error occurs due to insufficient authorization in the user's role or profile. The user attempting to delete account postings does not have the required permissions assigned to their user ID in the SAP system. This can happen for various reasons, such as:
  
  Role Configuration: The user's role may not include the necessary authorization objects for deleting account postings.
  Missing Authorization Objects: The specific authorization objects related to financial transactions (like F_BKPF_BSA, F_BKPF_BER, etc.) may not be assigned to the user.
  Organizational Level Restrictions: The user may have restrictions based on organizational levels that prevent them from performing the delete action.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, 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.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code SU01 to view the user's roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user in transaction PFCG. Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorizations for deleting account postings.
  If the roles do not have the required authorizations, you may need to modify the role or create a new one that includes the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Add Missing Authorizations:
  
  If you identify missing authorization objects, you can add them to the user's role. This may require the assistance of a security administrator or someone with the appropriate permissions to modify roles.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
  
  After making changes to the user's authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new permissions take effect.
  Attempt the delete operation again to verify that the issue has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's internal guidelines for managing user roles and authorizations to ensure compliance with security policies.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects for financial transactions in SAP. Common objects include:
  
  F_BKPF_BSA: Authorization for accounting documents
  F_BKPF_BER: Authorization for document types
  
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SU53: Display authorization check
  SU01: User maintenance
  PFCG: Role maintenance
  
  
  Security Roles: Understand the principle of least privilege and ensure that users have only the permissions necessary for their job functions.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be necessary to consult with your SAP Basis or security team for further investigation.
