  The SAP error message FB505, which states "Only select tables KNA1 and KNB1," typically occurs when you are trying to execute a transaction or report that involves customer master data, but the system is enforcing a restriction on the tables that can be selected. This error is specifically related to the customer master data tables in SAP:
  
  KNA1: This is the general data for customers.

  Cause of the Error
  The error is triggered when a query or report attempts to access tables other than KNA1 and KNB1 for customer-related data. This restriction is often in place to ensure data integrity and to prevent the use of non-standard or irrelevant tables in operations that are meant to deal specifically with customer master data.
