• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_PPW762 - You are not authorized to delete budgets (budget object: W_BUDG_TY) ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WRF_PPW762 – "You are not authorized to delete budgets (budget object: W_BUDG_TY)"
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs because the user attempting to delete budget data does not have the necessary authorization for the specified budget object (W_BUDG_TY). In SAP Public Sector Management (PSM) or Budgeting components, budget objects control access to budget data. If the user’s roles or authorizations do not include delete permissions for the relevant budget object, the system prevents the deletion and issues this error.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Budget Object (W_BUDG_TY): This is a key controlling object in SAP Budget Management that defines the scope of budget data.
  Authorization Check: SAP checks if the user has the authorization to perform delete operations on the budget object.
  Missing Authorization: The user’s assigned roles or profiles lack the required authorization objects or values to delete budget entries.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed.
  Look for authorization objects related to budget management, typically:
  
  F_BKPF_BUD (Budgeting authorization object)
  F_BKPF_BUDOBJ (Budget object authorization)
  Or custom authorization objects depending on your system setup.
  
  
  
  
  
  Adjust Roles/Profiles:
  
  Identify the role(s) assigned to the user.
  In transaction PFCG, check the roles and add the necessary authorization values for the budget object W_BUDG_TY.
  Ensure the authorization includes the Delete (D) activity for the budget object.
  
  
  
  Transport Changes:
  
  After adjusting roles, transport the changes to the relevant systems (e.g., from development to production).
  
  
  
  Test:
  
  Have the user log off and log back in.
  Retry the deletion to confirm the authorization issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Service Marketplace for notes related to WRF_PPW762 or budget authorization issues.
  Authorization Objects:  
  
  F_BKPF_BUD – Controls budget document processing.
  F_BKPF_BUDOBJ – Controls access to specific budget objects.
  
  
  Transactions to Check:
  
  SU53 – Display last authorization check failure.
  PFCG – Role maintenance.
  SE16 or SE16N – To view tables like T161T (budget object texts) or authorization tables.
  
  
  Budget Management Module: This error is common in SAP Public Sector Management (PSM) or Funds Management (FM) when budget control is active.
  
  
  Summary:
  
  Cause: User lacks delete authorization for budget object W_BUDG_TY.
  Solution: Update user roles to include delete authorization for the budget object.
  Check: Use SU53 to identify missing authorizations and adjust roles in PFCG.
