DB248 - Details

• The SAP error message DB248, which states "You cannot create system variants for local/private objects," typically occurs when you attempt to create a system variant for a report or transaction that is classified as a local or private object. This means that the object is not intended to be shared across the system or is specific to a particular user or client.
  
  Cause:
  
  Local/Private Objects: The object you are trying to create a system variant for is defined as a local or private object. These objects are not meant to be used in a global context, which is required for system variants.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to create system variants for certain objects.
  Incorrect Object Type: The object type you are working with may not support system variants.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Object Type: Verify if the object you are trying to create a variant for is indeed a local/private object.
