  The SAP error message UDM_WORK_LIST047 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to remove the assignment of items from a specific object (denoted by &1 in the message). This typically occurs in the context of SAP's contract management or similar modules where users manage assignments of items to contracts, projects, or other entities.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorization in the user's role or profile. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user may not have the required authorization object that allows them to perform the action of removing assignments.
  Role Configuration: The user's assigned roles may not include the necessary permissions for the specific transaction or action they are trying to perform.
  Organizational Restrictions: There may be organizational policies or restrictions in place that limit who can remove assignments.
  
  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.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to review the user's roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user in transaction PFCG. Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorizations for the action they are trying to perform.
  If the roles are missing the required authorizations, you may need to modify the role or create a new one that includes the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary access to modify roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security or basis team. Provide them with the details of the error and the context in which it occurred.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After adjustments are made to the user's authorizations, have the user log out and back in, or refresh their session, and then attempt the action again to see if the issue is resolved.
