• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ISDFPS/FDP142 - No authorization to delimit infotype &1 subtype &2 to &3 &4 ?

  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/FDP142 No authorization to delimit infotype &1 subtype &2 to &3 &4 typically indicates that a user is attempting to perform an action related to an infotype (a specific type of data in SAP HR) but does not have the necessary authorizations to do so. This error is common in scenarios where a user is trying to delimit (end) an infotype record, such as an employee's personal data or employment details.
  Cause:
  
  Lack of Authorization: The user does not have the required authorization to delimit the specified infotype and subtype. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations in the user's profile.
  Incorrect Configuration: The authorization objects related to the infotype may not be correctly configured in the system.
  User Role Changes: If the user's roles have been changed recently, they may have lost access to certain infotypes.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  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.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction PFCG to ensure they have the necessary permissions for the infotype in question.
  
  
  
  Modify Authorizations:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorization, you may need to add the required authorization objects to their role. Common authorization objects for HR infotypes include:
  
  P_ORGIN (Personnel Administration)
  P_PERNR (Personnel Number)
  P_TCODE (Transaction Code)
  
  
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate activity (e.g., 03 for display, 02 for change) for the infotype and subtype.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the required access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user's authorizations, have the user log out and log back in, then attempt the action again to see if the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Infotypes: Infotypes are data structures in SAP HR that store specific types of information about employees, such as personal data, payroll data, and organizational assignments.
  Delimiting Infotypes: Delimiting an infotype means ending the validity of a record, which is often necessary when an employee leaves the company or when their role changes.
  Authorization Management: SAP uses a role-based access control system, where users are assigned roles that contain specific authorizations. Proper management of these roles is crucial for maintaining security and compliance.
  
  If the issue persists after checking authorizations, further investigation may be required, potentially involving SAP support or consulting documentation specific to your organization's SAP implementation.
