Summary :
When attempting to maintain customer/vendor master data using the batch input programs RFBIDE00 or RFBIKR00 with a Unicode UTF-8 formatted file, you may encounter the error FB004 indicating that the first file record is not a session record, due to the presence of a byte order mark. To resolve this issue, apply the corrections available in the SAP_BASIS Support Package for Basis Release 6.20 and 6.40, specifically referencing Note 788449 for implementation details. Additionally, incorporate corrections in the SAP_APPL part from the Support Packages for Releases R/3 Enterprise and ECC 500, including source code updates and the regeneration of affected programs using designated transactions and tools.
