  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/SFIR062 indicates that a user is not authorized to reverse a settlement document in the SAP Transportation Management System (TMS). This error typically arises when a user attempts to perform an action that requires specific authorizations that they do not possess.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the necessary authorization roles or permissions to reverse the settlement document.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary transaction codes or object authorizations related to reversing settlement documents.
  Document Status: The settlement document may be in a status that does not allow for reversal, although this is less common for this specific error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Verify the user's roles and authorizations in the SAP system. This can be done by using transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed.
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for the relevant objects, such as S_TCODE for transaction codes and S_SCM_TMS for TMS-related authorizations.
  
  
  
  Role Adjustment:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, work with your SAP security team to adjust the user's roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations for reversing settlement documents.
  Common authorization objects to check include:
  
  S_TCODE (Transaction Code)
  S_SCM_TMS (TMS Authorization)
  S_SCM_TMS_DOC (Document Authorization)
  
  
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific error message for any additional context or updates that may be relevant.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After adjustments are made, have the user log out and back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect, and then attempt to reverse the settlement document again.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in TMS, such as /SCMTMS/SETTLE for settlement processing.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on authorization issues in TMS.
