  The SAP error message /SCWM/PI_APPL155 indicates that a user is attempting to change a physical inventory (PI) document in a warehouse but does not have the necessary authorization to do so. This is a common issue in SAP systems where user roles and authorizations are strictly managed.
  Cause:
  The error is typically caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Lack of Authorization: The user does not have the required authorization object to change the physical inventory document. This could be due to missing roles or permissions assigned to the user.
  Incorrect User Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned to the correct role that includes the necessary authorizations for the warehouse in question.
  Warehouse-Specific Restrictions: The authorization may be restricted to certain warehouses, and the user is trying to access a warehouse for which they do not have change permissions.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify their roles or assign them to a role that includes the required authorizations for physical inventory changes.
  Ensure that the authorization object S_WM_PI (Physical Inventory) is included in the user’s role with the appropriate activity (e.g., change).
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change user roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator. They can help review and adjust the user’s authorizations as needed.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, attempt to perform the action again.
