• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/LC1081 - You do not have the necessary authorization for this function ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/LC1081 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to perform a specific function within the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This error typically arises when a user attempts to access a transaction or function for which they lack the appropriate authorization roles or permissions.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorization Roles: The user may not have been assigned the necessary roles that grant access to the specific function or transaction.
  Authorization Object Restrictions: Even if a user has a role, the specific authorization objects within that role may not include the required permissions.
  Profile Issues: The user profile may not be correctly configured to allow access to certain functions.
  Changes in Authorization: Recent changes in the authorization roles or profiles may have inadvertently removed access.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) and enter the user ID.
  Check the roles assigned to the user and ensure that the necessary roles for the EWM functions are included.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization objects were checked and failed.
  This will provide insight into what specific permissions are missing.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can modify the user’s roles using transaction PFCG (Role Maintenance) to include the required authorizations.
  If you do not have the necessary permissions, contact your SAP security administrator to request the required changes.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Test the function again to confirm that the error has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Documentation:
  
  Ensure that any changes made to roles and authorizations are documented for future reference and compliance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  Transaction Codes:
  
  SU01: User Maintenance
  PFCG: Role Maintenance
  SU53: Display Authorization Check
  
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to authorization in EWM.
