  The SAP error message /SCWM/LM_EWRKL116 indicates that a user is not authorized to run a specific transaction for a given warehouse. This error typically arises in the context of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when a user attempts to perform an action that requires specific authorizations related to warehouse management.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of authorization for the user to access or perform actions in the specified warehouse. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Roles: The user may not have been assigned the necessary roles that grant access to the warehouse.
  Warehouse-Specific Authorizations: The user may have general warehouse management authorizations but lacks specific authorizations for the warehouse in question.
  User Profile Issues: The user profile may not be correctly configured to include the necessary authorizations for the warehouse.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction SU01 to check the user’s profile and roles.
  Verify if the user has the necessary roles assigned that include warehouse management authorizations.
  
  
  
  Assign Missing Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required roles, you may need to assign the appropriate roles that include access to the specific warehouse.
  Roles can be assigned using transaction PFCG.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Check the relevant authorization objects (e.g., W_T001W, W_T001, W_T001L) to ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for the warehouse.
  You can use transaction SU53 to analyze the last authorization check and identify which specific authorizations are missing.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to ensure the user is granted the necessary access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Test the transaction again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
