  The SAP error message K4603 ("User & does not exist; choose F4 to select or create user") typically occurs when you are trying to enter a user ID in a field that requires a valid user, but the user ID you entered does not exist in the SAP system. This can happen in various transactions, especially in the context of user assignments, authorizations, or when entering data related to user-specific settings.
