• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KX369 - Caution: You are processing cross-client data structures ?

  The SAP error message KX369, which states "Caution: You are processing cross-client data structures," typically occurs when you are working with data that is not client-specific. In SAP, a "client" refers to a self-contained unit with separate master records and its own set of tables. Cross-client data structures are those that are shared across multiple clients, which can lead to potential issues if not handled correctly.
  
  Cause:
  
  Cross-Client Data Access: The error is triggered when a user attempts to access or modify data that is intended to be shared across clients. This can happen in various transactions or reports that involve cross-client tables or structures.
  Data Integrity Risks: The system is warning you that changes made to cross-client data can affect all clients, which may lead to unintended consequences or data integrity issues.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the error can also arise if the user does not have the necessary authorizations to access or modify
