This error typically arises in the context of Quality Management (QM) within the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by a lack of authorization for the user to perform the specified activity (indicated by &1) in the specified warehouse number (indicated by &2). This can happen due to:

  Authorization Profile Issues: The authorization profiles assigned to the user may not cover the required activities for the specified warehouse.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:

  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify the existing roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations.

  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to ensure the user is granted the necessary access.
