• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SD_PROGRESS_LOG013 - Table parameters &1 or &2 do not start with 'Z'. ?

  The SAP error message SD_PROGRESS_LOG013 indicates that there is an issue with the parameters being passed to a function or process in the Sales and Distribution (SD) module. Specifically, the error states that the table parameters (represented by &1 and &2) do not start with the letter 'Z'. In SAP, objects that start with 'Z' are typically custom objects created by users or developers, while standard SAP objects do not.
  Cause:
  
  Custom Table Requirement: The process or function you are trying to execute expects the table parameters to be custom tables (which conventionally start with 'Z'). If the parameters being passed are standard tables or do not follow this naming convention, the error will occur.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a configuration issue where the wrong table names are being referenced in the program or function module.
  Development Standards: The development standards in your organization may require that all custom developments use 'Z' prefixed objects, and this error is a safeguard against using standard objects.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Table Names: Review the code or configuration where the error is occurring. Ensure that the table parameters being passed are indeed custom tables that start with 'Z'.
  Modify Code: If you have access to the ABAP code, modify the parameters to use the correct custom tables. If you are not a developer, you may need to contact your technical team to make these changes.
  Review Configuration: If this error arises from a configuration setting, check the relevant configuration in the SAP system to ensure that it is set up correctly to use the appropriate custom tables.
  Consult Documentation: If this error is related to a specific transaction or process, consult the documentation or help resources for that process to understand the expected parameters.
  
  Related Information:

  Testing: After making changes, thoroughly test the process to ensure that the error is resolved and that the functionality works as expected.
