• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/PI_APPL_REPORT023 - Owner Role &1 does not exist ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/PI_APPL_REPORT023 Owner Role &1 does not exist typically occurs in the context of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when the system is trying to access or process a role that has not been defined or is not available in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Role Definition: The role specified by &1 does not exist in the system. This could be due to a configuration issue or an oversight during the setup of user roles and authorizations.
  Incorrect Role Assignment: The user or process trying to access the functionality may not have the correct role assigned, leading to this error.
  Transport Issues: If the role was recently transported from another system (like Development to Production), it may not have been included in the transport request or may not have been activated properly.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Role Definition:
  
  Go to transaction code PFCG (Profile Generator) and check if the role specified by &1 exists.
  If it does not exist, you may need to create it or correct the configuration.
  
  
  
  Assign the Role:
  
  Ensure that the user or process that is encountering the error has the necessary role assigned. You can do this in the same PFCG transaction by assigning the role to the user.
  
  
  
  Transport Check:
  
  If the role was supposed to be transported, check the transport logs to ensure that it was included and activated in the target system.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform the action that is triggering the error. You can use transaction SU53 to analyze authorization issues after the error occurs.
