• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message REDB014 - You are not allowed to search with initial GUID in table &1 ?

  The SAP error message REDB014 indicates that you are attempting to perform a search using an initial GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) in a specific table, but the system is preventing this action due to restrictions or settings in place.
  
  Cause:
  
  Initial GUID Usage: The error typically arises when a search is attempted with an initial GUID (which is often represented as a blank or zero value). In many cases, searching with an initial GUID does not yield meaningful results, and the system is designed to prevent such searches to maintain data integrity and performance.
  Authorization Issues: There may be restrictions based on user roles or authorizations that prevent searching with certain parameters.
  Table Configuration: The specific table may have configurations that restrict searches based on GUIDs.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Use a Valid GUID: Ensure that you are using a valid, non-initial GUID for your search. If you are unsure of the GUID, you may need to retrieve it
