• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/WM_SEL068 - You do not have authorization to display stock ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/WM_SEL068 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to display stock in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This can occur due to various reasons related to user roles and authorizations.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user may not have the required authorization object assigned to their user profile. In SAP, authorizations are controlled by authorization objects that define what actions a user can perform on specific data.
  Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned to the correct role that includes the necessary authorizations for stock display.
  Authorization Profile: The authorization profile assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the stock display transaction.
  Organizational Level Restrictions: There may be restrictions based on organizational levels (e.g., plant, storage location) that prevent the user from accessing certain stock information.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  Review the authorization logs to identify the missing authorizations.
  
  
  
  Assign Required Roles:
  
  Work with your SAP security team to ensure that the user has the appropriate roles assigned that include the necessary authorizations for stock display.
  Common authorization objects related to stock display in EWM include:
  
  S_EWM_DSP (Display Stock)
  S_EWM_WM (Warehouse Management)
  
  
  Ensure that the roles assigned to the user include these objects with the necessary activity (e.g., display).
  
  
  
  Modify Authorization Profiles:
  
  If the user has the correct role but is still facing issues, check if the authorization profile needs to be modified to include the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Test After Changes:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Test the stock display functionality again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
