WTRA017 - Details

  • Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message WTRA017: "You are not authorized to delete the measurement data logs":
    
    Error Message
    WTRA017 – You are not authorized to delete the measurement data logs.
    
    Cause
    This error occurs because the user attempting to delete measurement data logs in SAP Plant Maintenance (PM) or Quality Management (QM) does not have the necessary authorization. SAP enforces strict authorization checks to ensure that only users with appropriate permissions can delete sensitive data such as measurement logs.
    The authorization object typically involved is related to measurement document processing or maintenance data management, for example:
    
    I_MES (Measurement Documents)
    I_MESDEL (Delete Measurement Documents)
    Or other related authorization objects depending on the system configuration.
    
    If the user lacks the required authorization for these objects, the system will prevent deletion and raise this error.
    
    Solution
    
    
    Check User Authorizations:
    
    Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check which authorization check failed.
    Alternatively, use transaction ST01 (Authorization Trace) to trace
