  The SAP error message I4249, "You can only create WCM object (&) directly," typically occurs in the context of the SAP Work Clearance Management (WCM) module. This error indicates that the system is preventing the creation of a specific WCM object through an indirect method, such as a transaction or program that does not support the creation of that object.
  Cause:
  The error is usually triggered when:
