  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/EWRKL003 - No authorization to set processor ?

    The SAP error message /SCWM/EWRKL003 No authorization to set processor typically occurs in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module when a user attempts to perform an action that requires specific authorizations related to setting a processor for a task or operation, but the user does not have the necessary permissions.

    Cause:

    1. Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorization object to perform the action related to setting a processor.
    2. Role Configuration: The user's role may not be configured correctly to include the necessary authorizations for the EWM processes.
    3. User Profile Issues: The user profile may not be updated or may not include the necessary roles that grant the required permissions.

    Solution:

    1. Check User Authorizations:

      • Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
    2. Review User Roles:

      • Go to transaction code PFCG to review the roles assigned to the user. Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorizations for EWM operations.
      • If the required authorizations are missing, you may need to modify the role or create a new role that includes the necessary authorizations.
    3. Authorization Objects:

      • Identify the relevant authorization objects that are required for the action. Common authorization objects for EWM include:
        • S_WFAR_EWM (for EWM workflow authorizations)
        • S_TCODE (for transaction code authorizations)
      • Ensure that the user has the necessary values assigned to these authorization objects.
    4. Consult with Security Team:

      • If you do not have the necessary access to modify roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to request the required authorizations.
    5. Testing:

      • After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Test the action again to confirm that the error is resolved.

    Related Information:

    • SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional information or updates regarding this error message.
    • Documentation: Review SAP EWM documentation for details on authorization management and best practices for role configuration.
    • Training: Consider providing training for users on the importance of authorizations and how to request additional access if needed.

    By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
