  The SAP error message /SCDL/BC106 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to select a specific location in the context of a document item. This error typically arises in the Supply Chain Management (SCM) or Logistics areas of SAP, particularly when dealing with documents related to inventory, stock, or logistics execution.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by a lack of authorization for the user to access the specified location. This can happen due to several reasons:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user’s role may not include the necessary authorization object that grants access to the location.
  Location-Specific Restrictions: The user may have restrictions that prevent them from accessing certain locations based on organizational or security policies.
  Role Assignment Issues: The user may not be assigned the correct roles that include the necessary authorizations for the required actions.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  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 SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the necessary authorization is missing, you may need to modify the user’s roles or create a new role that includes the required authorization objects.
  Ensure that the authorization object for location access (e.g., S_LGNUM, S_TCODE, S_MANDT, etc.) is included in the user’s role.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can help identify the missing authorizations and make the necessary adjustments.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  S_LGNUM: Authorization for logical system

  Documentation: Review SAP documentation or help resources related to authorization management and role design to ensure compliance with best practices.
