  The SAP error message FAC_ACC_DET_MESSAGE079 with the description "Don’t enter special characters" typically occurs when a user attempts to input data that includes special characters in a field that does not accept them. This can happen in various contexts within SAP, such as when entering data in forms, transaction codes, or configuration settings.

  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the input requirements for a specific field, refer to the SAP documentation or help resources related to the transaction or module you are using.
