  Check Input Values: Review the input values for the authority type in question. Ensure that any numeric identifiers do not exceed 8 digits.
  
  
  Data Validation: Implement data validation checks in your input forms or processes to ensure that users cannot enter values longer than 8 digits.
  
  
  Adjust Configuration: If the authority type configuration allows for longer numbers and it is appropriate for your business process, you may need to adjust the configuration in the SAP system. This could involve:
  
  Modifying the data element or field length in the relevant table or structure.
  Consulting with your SAP Basis or ABAP team to make necessary adjustments.
  
  
  
  Review Documentation: Check SAP documentation or notes related to the specific authority type you are working with to understand any constraints or requirements.
