This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when a user attempts to create a storage bin but lacks the required permissions.
  Cause:

  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.

  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary access to modify roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can help you adjust the roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, attempt to create the storage bin again.
