This error typically arises in the context of the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module, particularly when dealing with quality inspections.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by insufficient authorization for the user attempting to perform the action of canceling a physical sample. This can happen due to:

  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not be properly configured to include the required permissions for the specific warehouse.
  User Profile Issues: The user profile may not be updated or may not reflect the correct 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 Role Assignments:

  Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorizations for the action being performed.
  
  
  
  Modify Role:
  
  If the required authorization is missing, you may need to modify the role in PFCG to include the necessary authorization objects. Common authorization objects related to warehouse management include:
  
  S_WM_ALL (Warehouse Management)

  Ensure that the user has the necessary permissions for the specific warehouse number mentioned in the error message.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
