• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SSB/CORE505 - &1 &2 does not exist ?

  The SAP error message /SSB/CORE505 &1 &2 does not exist typically indicates that a specific object or entity referenced in the system is not found. This error is often related to the SAP Business Suite or specific applications within it, such as SAP S/4HANA or SAP BW.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Object: The object (like a report, transaction, or configuration) that the system is trying to access does not exist in the database.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a misconfiguration in the system that is causing it to look for an object that has not been created or activated.
  Transport Issues: If the object was recently transported from another system (like Development to Production), it may not have been transported correctly.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the object, leading to the perception that it does not exist.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Object Existence: Verify if the object referenced by &1 and &2 actually exists in the system. You can do this by using transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary), SE80 (Object Navigator), or SE37 (Function Module).
  Review Configuration: Ensure that all necessary configurations are in place and that the object is properly defined in the system.
  Transport Check: If the object was supposed to be transported, check the transport logs to ensure that it was successfully moved to the target system.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the object. You can check this using transaction SU53 to analyze authorization issues.
  Recreate Object: If the object is indeed missing and should exist, you may need to recreate it or restore it from a backup if available.
