• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/POHU058 - You are not authorized to create planned shipping HUs ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/POHU058 indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorization to create planned shipping Handling Units (HUs) in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) system. This error typically arises when a user attempts to perform an action that requires specific permissions that they do not possess.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user’s role does not include the necessary authorizations for creating planned shipping HUs.
  Missing Authorization Objects: The required authorization objects related to handling units and shipping processes are not assigned to the user’s profile.
  User Role Configuration: The user may not be assigned to the correct role that includes the necessary permissions for the task.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Roles: Verify the roles assigned to the user in the SAP system. Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles that include permissions for creating planned shipping HUs.
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects: Check the authorization objects related to handling units and shipping processes. Common authorization objects that may be relevant include:
  
  S_TCODE (Transaction Codes)
  S_WFAR_EWM (EWM-specific authorizations)
  S_HU (Handling Unit authorizations)
  
  
  
  Modify User Authorizations: If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, a system administrator or security officer should modify the user’s roles or add the required authorizations to their profile.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes to the user’s authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new permissions take effect. Then, attempt to create the planned shipping HUs again.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or the SAP Help Portal for detailed information on authorization management in EWM.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like SU01 (User Maintenance) to manage user roles and authorizations.
  Authorization Trace: Use transaction SU53 to analyze authorization failures. This can help identify which specific authorization is missing.
  Role Management: If you are responsible for role management, consider reviewing the roles and their associated authorizations to ensure they align with business requirements.
  
  If the issue persists after checking and updating the authorizations, it may be necessary to consult with your SAP Basis or security team for further investigation.
