• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/DS_AC110 - You are not authorized to cancel this business document ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/DS_AC110 indicates that a user is attempting to cancel a business document (such as a delivery or an order) but does not have the necessary authorization to perform this action. This is a common issue in SAP systems where user roles and authorizations are strictly managed to ensure data integrity and security.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization object to cancel the specific business document.
  Role Configuration: The user's role may not include the necessary permissions for the action they are trying to perform.
  Document Status: The document may be in a status that does not allow cancellation, although this is less likely to trigger this specific error message.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can modify the user's roles to include the required authorization objects. This may involve adding specific authorizations related to the business document type being canceled.
  Common authorization objects that may be relevant include S_WFAR_OBJ (Workflow Authorization) or specific objects related to the business document type.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator. Provide them with the details of the error and the transaction you were trying to perform.
  
  
  
  Check Document Status:
  
  Ensure that the document you are trying to cancel is in a status that allows cancellation. If it is already processed or completed, it may not be possible to cancel it.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional context.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation related to authorization management and business document processing in the specific module you are working with (e.g., SAP Extended Warehouse Management).
