  The SAP error message AC523, which states "Domain & not defined in the dictionary," typically occurs when there is an issue with a domain that is referenced in your ABAP program or data dictionary but has not been defined or is not recognized by the system.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Domain Definition: The domain that is being referenced in the program or data dictionary does not exist. This could happen if the domain was deleted or never created.
  Typographical Error: There may be a typo in the domain name in the program or data dictionary.
  Transport Issues: If the domain was created in a different system and not transported correctly, it may not exist in the current system.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Domain Definition:
  
  Go to transaction code SE11 (Data Dictionary).

  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the domain. You can check this with transaction SU53 or by consulting with your security team.
