• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WGDS_STORAGE_BUS101 - User &1 is not authorized to perform action &2 ?

  The SAP error message WGDS_STORAGE_BUS101 indicates that a user is not authorized to perform a specific action within the SAP system. This error typically arises in the context of the SAP Warehouse Management (WM) or Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) modules, where user permissions are critical for executing various operations.
  Cause:
  The error occurs due to insufficient authorization for the user attempting to perform the action specified in the error message. This could be due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Roles: The user does not have the necessary roles assigned that grant permission for the action.
  Authorization Object Restrictions: The user may have roles assigned, but the specific authorization objects within those roles do not cover the required actions.
  Profile Issues: The user profile may not be correctly configured to allow access to the required transactions or functions.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) and enter the user ID.
  Check the roles assigned to the user and ensure that they include the necessary permissions for the action being attempted.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization checks failed. This will provide insight into what specific permissions are lacking.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SUIM (User Information System) to analyze user authorizations and roles.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary roles, work with your SAP security team to assign the appropriate roles.
  If the roles are present but missing specific authorizations, you may need to modify the roles to include the required authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Documentation:
  
  Document any changes made to user roles or authorizations for future reference and compliance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: In SAP, authorization objects define the permissions required to perform specific actions. Common authorization objects related to warehouse management include W_MSEG_WA (for goods movements) and W_MAT_WA (for material management).
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as:
  
  SU01: User Maintenance
  SU53: Display Authorization Check
