  Cause:
  The error is caused by insufficient authorization for the user attempting to create a storage bin. This can happen due to:

  Incorrect Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned the correct role that includes permissions for creating storage bins.
  Authorization Profile Issues: The authorization profile assigned to the user may not cover the required actions for the specific storage type.
  
  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 warehouse management.

  Use transaction PFCG (Role Maintenance) to adjust roles and add the necessary authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to request the required access.
