• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/DS_AC015 - Save rejected because of missing authorization to save node &1 ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/DS_AC015 Save rejected because of missing authorization to save node &1 typically occurs in the context of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when a user attempts to save changes to a data structure (like a warehouse node) without having the necessary authorizations.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by a lack of authorization for the user to perform the save operation on the specified node. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Roles: The user does not have the required roles assigned that grant permission to modify or save the specific node in the system.
  Authorization Object Restrictions: The authorization objects related to the warehouse management or specific nodes may not be properly configured for the user.
  Node-Specific Restrictions: The node in question may have specific restrictions that prevent certain users from making changes.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to view the user’s roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Roles:
  
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles assigned that include the necessary authorizations for the warehouse management functions.
  If the user is missing roles, you may need to assign the correct roles that include the necessary authorizations.
  
  
  
  Modify Authorization Objects:
  
  If the roles are correct but the user still cannot save, check the specific authorization objects related to the warehouse management (e.g., S_WM_ALL, S_WM_AUTH, etc.) to ensure they are configured correctly.
  You may need to work with your SAP security team to adjust the authorizations.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to authorization issues in EWM to ensure that you are aware of any specific requirements or configurations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s roles or authorizations, have the user attempt to save again to see if the issue is resolved.
