  The SAP error message /SCWM/DS_CORE098 indicates that a user has a limited process scope and is assigned to a specific carrier. This error typically arises in the context of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when a user attempts to perform an action that is not permitted due to their assigned roles or process scope.
  Cause:
  
  Limited Process Scope: The user has been assigned a limited process scope in their user profile, which restricts the actions they can perform within the system.
  Carrier Assignment: The user is associated with a specific carrier, and the action they are trying to perform may not be allowed for that carrier based on the defined process scope.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Roles and Authorizations:
  
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in the SAP system. Ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to perform the action they are attempting.

  Adjust Process Scope:
  
  If the user needs to perform actions outside their current process scope, you may need to adjust their process scope settings. This can be done in the user profile settings.
  Use transaction code PFCG to modify roles and ensure that the user has the appropriate authorizations for the required processes.
  
  
  
  Carrier Configuration:
  
  Verify the configuration of the carrier in the system. Ensure that the carrier is set up correctly and that the user’s assignments align with the carrier’s process scope.
  Check the carrier settings in the EWM configuration to ensure that the user is allowed to perform the necessary actions for that carrier.
