• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/L3213 - You are not authorized to display physical stocks ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/L3213 indicates that a user is not authorized to display physical stocks in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) system. This error typically arises when a user attempts to access stock information without having the necessary authorizations assigned to their user profile.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The primary cause of this error is that the user does not have the required authorization object assigned to their user role. In SAP, access to various functionalities is controlled through authorization objects, and if the user lacks the necessary permissions, they will encounter this error.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for viewing physical stock data.
  User Profile: The user profile may not be correctly set up to include the required authorizations.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code SU01 to view the user’s profile and roles.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary administrative rights, you can modify the user’s roles using transaction code PFCG (Profile Generator).
  Ensure that the role assigned to the user includes the necessary authorization objects related to physical stock display. Common authorization objects for stock display in EWM include:
  
  S_EWM_DSP (Display Stock)
  S_EWM_STOCK (Stock Management)
  
  
  If these objects are not included, you may need to add them and assign the appropriate values.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security or basis team. Provide them with the details of the error and the transaction you were trying to perform.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Then, test the transaction again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation for detailed information on authorization objects and their configurations.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to authorization in EWM.
  Training: Consider providing training for users on how to request additional authorizations if they encounter similar issues in the future.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the authorization issue related to the error message /SCWM/L3213.
