• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/SHP_RCV125 - No authorization for activity &3 for means of transport &1 (warehouse &2) ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/SHP_RCV125 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to perform a specific activity related to a means of transport in a warehouse. This error typically arises in the context of the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module in SAP.
  Cause:
  The error message is triggered when a user attempts to perform an action (denoted by &3) on a means of transport (&1) in a specific warehouse (&2), but their user profile lacks the required authorization for that activity. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user role does not include the necessary authorization object that governs the specific activity.
  Incorrect Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned the correct role that includes the required permissions.
  Transport-Specific Restrictions: There may be restrictions based on the means of transport or warehouse settings that limit user access.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) and enter the user ID that encountered the error.
  Check the roles assigned to the user and ensure that they include the necessary authorizations for the activity in question.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Identify the specific authorization object related to the activity (&3). This can often be found in the documentation or by consulting with your SAP security team.
  Common authorization objects for EWM include S_WM_EWM for warehouse management activities.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the necessary authorizations are missing, you may need to modify the user’s roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations.
  Use transaction PFCG (Role Maintenance) to adjust roles and add the necessary authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Test the activity again to confirm that the error has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Consult Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles or if you are unsure about the required authorizations, consult your SAP security team for assistance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional context.
  Documentation: Review the SAP EWM documentation for details on authorization management and the specific activities related to means of transport.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SU53 (to analyze authorization failures) and SUIM (to check user information).
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the authorization issue causing the error message /SCWM/SHP_RCV125.
