• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/DS_AC102 - You are not authorized to perform this action for the business document ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/DS_AC102 indicates that a user is not authorized to perform a specific action related to a business document in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This error typically arises when a user attempts to execute a function or access a document for which they do not have the necessary permissions.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The most common cause of this error is that the user lacks the required authorization roles or permissions to perform the action on the specified business document.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary authorizations for the specific transaction or document type.
  Document Status: The document may be in a status that restricts access based on business rules or configurations.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Verify the roles assigned to the user in the SAP system. This can be done by navigating to transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) and checking the roles assigned to the user.
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations for the action they are trying to perform.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Identify the specific authorization objects that are required for the action. This can be done by checking the documentation or consulting with your SAP security team.
  Common authorization objects for EWM include S_WM_EWM and others related to warehouse management.
  
  
  
  Adjust Role Assignments:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, work with your SAP security administrator to adjust the role assignments or create a new role that includes the required permissions.
  
  
  
  Check Document Status:
  
  Ensure that the document is in a status that allows the action to be performed. If the document is locked or in a status that restricts access, you may need to change its status or wait until it is available for processing.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Then, test the action again to see if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to authorization in EWM.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation for EWM to understand the authorization requirements for different business processes and documents.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be necessary to consult with your SAP Basis or security team for further investigation.
