  The SAP error message FDT_CORE823 indicates that there is an issue with the message text configuration in the SAP system. Specifically, the error states that the message text does not have a fourth message variable, which means that the system is expecting a certain number of variables in the message text but is not finding them.
  Cause:
  
  Message Configuration Issue: The message text defined in the system is likely configured to expect four variables, but the actual message text provided does not include a fourth variable.
  Custom Development: If there are custom developments or enhancements in the system, they may not be correctly handling the message variables.
  Incorrect Usage: The function or method that is generating the message may be incorrectly called or may not be passing the expected number of parameters.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Message Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction SE91 (Message Class) and look for the message class associated with the error.
  Verify the message text and ensure that it is correctly defined with the expected number of variables.

  Review Custom Code:
  
  If the error is occurring in custom code, review the relevant ABAP code to ensure that the correct number of parameters is being passed to the message function.
