  The SAP error message /SCWM/SHP_RCV194 typically indicates that an action you are trying to perform on a specific object (like a handling unit, delivery, or warehouse task) is not permitted due to the current state of that object. The message format suggests that the action you are attempting (denoted by &1) is not allowed for the object in its current state (denoted by &2, &3, &4).
  Cause:
  
  Object State: The object you are trying to manipulate is in a state that does not allow the requested action. For example, if you are trying to confirm a delivery that is already completed or canceled, you will encounter this error.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary permissions to perform the action on the specified object.
  Configuration Settings: Certain actions may be restricted based on the configuration settings in the SAP system, such as warehouse management settings or business rules.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Object State: Review the current state of the object you are trying to act upon. You can do this by checking the transaction logs or the status of the object in the SAP GUI. Ensure that the object is in a state that allows the action you want to perform.
  Review Action Permissions: Ensure that your user role has the necessary permissions to perform the action. You may need to consult with your SAP security administrator to verify your authorizations.
  Consult Configuration: If the action is restricted due to configuration settings, you may need to consult with your SAP configuration team to understand the business rules that apply to the object and the action you are trying to perform.
  Use Alternative Actions: If the action is not permitted, consider whether there are alternative actions that can achieve your goal without violating the current state of the object.
