  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SU2X203 - Object &1 exists in the check indicator, but not in SU21 ?

    The SAP error message SU2X203 indicates that there is a discrepancy between the check indicators in transaction SU24 and the definitions in transaction SU21. Specifically, it means that an object (like a transaction, program, or function module) is listed in the check indicators for authorization checks, but it does not have a corresponding entry in the authorization object definitions in SU21.

    Cause:

    1. Missing Authorization Object: The object referenced in the check indicator is not defined in SU21, which means it has not been created or is not active.
    2. Transport Issues: If the object was recently transported from another system, it may not have been included in the transport request or may not have been imported correctly.
    3. Manual Changes: If there were manual changes made to the authorization checks or objects, it could lead to inconsistencies.
    4. System Upgrade or Patch: Sometimes, after an upgrade or patch, certain objects may not be properly updated or created.

    Solution:

    1. Check SU21: Go to transaction SU21 and verify if the authorization object exists. If it does not exist, you may need to create it.
    2. Create Authorization Object: If the object is missing, you can create it in SU21. Ensure that you define the necessary fields and values that are required for the authorization checks.
    3. Adjust SU24: If the object should not be checked, you can adjust the check indicators in SU24 to remove the reference to the object.
    4. Transport Request: If the object was supposed to be transported, check the transport request to ensure it was included and properly imported.
    5. Consult Documentation: Review any relevant documentation or notes related to the specific object or transaction to ensure that you are following the correct procedures.
