• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/DS_AC012 - No authority to change data of node &1 ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/DS_AC012 No authority to change data of node &1 typically occurs in the context of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when a user attempts to modify data related to a specific node in the system but lacks the necessary authorizations.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by insufficient authorization for the user to perform the requested action on the specified node. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Roles: The user may not have the appropriate roles assigned that grant access to modify data in the specified node.
  Authorization Object Restrictions: The authorization objects related to the EWM module may not be configured correctly for the user.
  Node-Specific Restrictions: There may be specific restrictions on the node that prevent changes from being made by certain users or roles.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Verify the roles assigned to the user encountering the error. Ensure that the user has the necessary roles that include permissions for the actions they are trying to perform.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Check the relevant authorization objects (e.g., S_WM_EWM, S_WM_NODE, etc.) to ensure that the user has the required authorizations to change data for the specific node.
  You can use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed.
  
  
  
  Adjust Authorizations:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, work with your SAP security team to adjust the roles or create new ones that include the required permissions for the user to modify the node data.
  
  
  
  Node Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration of the node in question to ensure that there are no specific settings that restrict changes based on user roles or other criteria.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new permissions take effect. Then, test the action again to see if the error persists.
