• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/L3790 - You don't have authorization to make changes in warehouse &1 ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/L3790 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to make changes in a specific warehouse. This error typically arises in the context of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when a user attempts to perform an action that requires certain permissions.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorization in the user's role or profile. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Objects: The user’s role may not include the necessary authorization objects that allow changes to be made in the specified warehouse.
  Warehouse-Specific Authorizations: The user may have general authorizations but lacks specific permissions for the warehouse in question.
  Role Assignment Issues: The user may not be assigned the correct roles that include the necessary authorizations for the warehouse.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) and enter the user ID.
  Check the roles assigned to the user and ensure that they include the necessary authorizations for the warehouse.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  Common authorization objects for warehouse management include W_T301 (Warehouse Management: Authorization for Warehouse) and W_T302 (Warehouse Management: Authorization for Storage Type).
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the necessary authorizations are missing, you may need to modify the user’s roles using transaction PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  Add the required authorization objects to the relevant roles and generate the profile.
  
  
  
  Test Changes:
  
  After making changes to the roles, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Test the action that previously resulted in the error to confirm that the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to modify roles or if you are unsure about which authorizations are needed, consult with your SAP security team or administrator for assistance.
