  The SAP error message /SMB/BBPRJ_INST463 Customizing Object &1 does not exist (see long text) typically indicates that the system is trying to access a customizing object that is not defined or does not exist in the system. This can occur in various scenarios, such as during the execution of a transaction, report, or when trying to access specific configuration settings.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Customizing Object: The specified customizing object (denoted by &1 in the error message) is not defined in the system. This could be due to a missing configuration or an incomplete implementation.
  Transport Issues: If the customizing object was supposed to be transported from another system (e.g., Development to Production) and the transport did not occur or failed, this error may arise.
  Incorrect Configuration: The object may have been deleted or incorrectly configured, leading to its unavailability.

  Check Customizing Object: Verify if the customizing object exists in the system. You can do this by navigating to the relevant customizing transaction (e.g., SPRO) and checking if the object is listed.
  Transport Request: If the object is missing, check if it was supposed to be transported from another system. If so, ensure that the transport request has been successfully imported.
  Recreate the Object: If the object is indeed missing and should exist, you may need to recreate it based on the specifications or documentation available.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the customizing object. You may need to consult with your security team to verify and adjust the user's roles and permissions.
