  The SAP error message /SCWM/BIF_CORE003: Only objects within a warehouse are allowed typically occurs in the context of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when an operation is attempted on an object that is not associated with a specific warehouse. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when trying to process a document, perform a stock transfer, or execute a warehouse task.
  Cause:
  
  Object Not Linked to a Warehouse: The object you are trying to work with (e.g., a stock item, transfer order, or delivery) is not assigned to any warehouse in the system.

  Check User Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access and manipulate the objects within the warehouse.
