  The SAP error message CU703 ("Material & has not yet been created") typically occurs when you are trying to perform an operation related to a material that has not been defined in the system. This can happen in various contexts, such as during the creation of a production order, when trying to assign a material to a BOM (Bill of Materials), or when attempting to perform inventory transactions.
