KH703 - Details

• The SAP error message KH703 indicates that there is an issue with the authorization object being used in a transaction or program. Specifically, it states that the first letter of the authorization object must be "Y" or "Z". This is a common requirement in SAP systems to ensure that custom authorization objects (which typically start with "Y" or "Z") are used instead of standard ones.
  
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Object Naming Convention: In SAP, standard authorization objects typically start with letters A to X, while custom objects are required to start with Y or Z. This is a convention to differentiate between standard and custom objects.
  Incorrect Configuration: The error may occur if a transaction or program is trying to use a standard authorization object instead of a custom one.
  Missing or Incorrect Authorizations: The user may not have the necessary authorizations assigned to them, or the authorization object being referenced is not correctly defined.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Authorization
