This error is related to the authorization object /SCWM/POHU, which is used to control access to specific activities within the EWM module.
  Cause:

  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:

  Modify Authorization Profiles:

  This can be done using transaction PFCG to adjust the roles and add the necessary authorizations.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator to assist in resolving the issue.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Then, test the action again to confirm that the error has been resolved.
