  The SAP error message /SCWM/LM_EWRKL020 indicates that a user does not have sufficient authorization to view the entire contents of an Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) work list. This typically occurs in scenarios where the user is trying to access or display information related to warehouse tasks, but their user role does not have the necessary permissions.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user’s role may not include the necessary authorizations to view all the data in the work list.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not be properly configured to include the required authorizations for the specific EWM transactions or objects.
  Profile Issues: The user profile may not be updated with the latest authorizations or may be missing certain authorizations altogether.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorizations are missing.
  This transaction will show the last authorization check and can help identify what is lacking.
  
  
  
  Review User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction SU01 to check the user’s roles.
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles assigned that include the necessary authorizations for EWM.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user is missing authorizations, you may need to modify the roles using transaction PFCG.
  Add the necessary authorization objects related to EWM, such as /SCWM/* or specific objects that pertain to the work list functionality.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the roles, ask the user to log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Have the user attempt to access the work list again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to roles or if you are unsure about which authorizations are needed, consult with your SAP security team or administrator for assistance.
