System Response

The values for characteristic &V1& cannot be entered directly into
authorizations as these values would be cut off.
It is, however, possible to use the internal display (SID). To do this,
enter the internal display for the relevant characteristic value. The
internal value is then transformed into the characteristic value again
during the authorization check.

valid throughout the system, these authorizations <ZH> are no longer
valid in a transport target system!</>

If you want to use the characteristic values immediatley, use a maximum
of &V2& places.

  The SAP error message R7590, which states "Char.&1 is longer than &2 (authorizations only in internal presentation)," typically occurs in the context of authorization checks within SAP systems. This error indicates that a character string (or field) exceeds the maximum length defined for that particular authorization object or field.
  Cause:
  
  Field Length Exceeded: The error is triggered when a value being processed exceeds the defined length for a specific authorization field. For example, if an authorization object expects a character string of a maximum length of 10, but the input string is 15 characters long, this error will occur.
  Data Entry Issues: Users may inadvertently enter data that exceeds the expected length, especially in custom fields or when using user-defined authorizations.
  Configuration Errors: There may be a misconfiguration in the authorization objects or roles that define the expected lengths for certain fields.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Input Values: Review the values being entered for the authorization fields. Ensure that they conform to the expected length as defined in the authorization object.
  Adjust Field Lengths: If the business requirement necessitates longer values, consider adjusting the field lengths in the relevant authorization objects. This may involve customizing the authorization objects, which should be done with caution and in accordance with your organization's change management policies.
  Review Authorization Objects: Check the configuration of the authorization objects involved. Ensure that they are set up correctly and that the lengths of the fields are appropriate for the data being processed.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on the authorization objects and their configurations.
  Testing: After making any changes, conduct thorough testing to ensure that the issue is resolved and that no new issues have been introduced.
  
  Related Information:
