  Cause:
  This error occurs because the user attempting to delete a service cost level in SAP does not have the necessary authorization. In SAP, certain actions such as deleting cost levels require specific authorizations assigned to the user. If these authorizations are missing or insufficient, the system prevents the deletion and issues this error message.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:

  Specifically, check for authorization objects related to cost controlling (CO) and service cost levels.
  
  
  
  Authorization Object:
  
  The relevant authorization object is often K_CCA (Cost Center Accounting) or K_COST (Cost Elements), depending on the exact configuration.
  For service cost levels, the authorization object might be WFD_BL or related workflow authorization objects controlling deletion rights.
  
  
  
  Assign Proper Authorization:
  
  Work with your SAP Security team to assign the required authorization to the user.
  This may involve adding the user to a role that includes the necessary permissions to delete service cost levels.
  
  
  
  Use SU53 to Analyze Authorization Check:
  
  Have the user execute the transaction that causes the error.
  Immediately after the error, run transaction SU53 to display the last failed authorization check.
  This will show which authorization object and field values are missing or insufficient.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After updating authorizations, test the deletion again to confirm the issue is resolved.
