• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/ENQUEUE001 - You do not have authorization to delete your own locks ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/ENQUEUE001 indicates that a user is attempting to delete their own locks but does not have the necessary authorization to do so. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when a user tries to release or delete a lock that they have set on a particular object (like a warehouse task or a stock transfer) but lacks the required permissions.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user does not have the necessary authorization object to delete locks. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations in their user profile.
  Lock Management Settings: The system may have specific settings or configurations that restrict certain users from deleting locks, even if they created them.
  User Role Changes: If a user's role has been changed recently, they may have lost the permissions that previously allowed them to delete their own locks.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 or PFCG to ensure they have the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Assign Necessary Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate authorization objects related to lock management. The relevant authorization object is typically S_ENQ (Enqueue Authorization).
  If the user needs to delete their own locks, they should have the DELETE activity for the relevant object types.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the necessary authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Lock Management Settings:
  
  Check if there are any specific configurations in the EWM system that might restrict lock deletion. This may involve reviewing the system settings or consulting with a technical consultant.
  
  
  
  Documentation and Training:
  
  Ensure that users are trained on how to manage locks properly and understand the implications of deleting locks in the system.
