• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IDAR001 - Country &1 is not defined in logon language &2 ?

  The SAP error message IDAR001 indicates that a specific country (denoted as &1) is not defined in the logon language (denoted as &2). This error typically arises when there is a mismatch between the country settings and the language settings in the SAP system.
