• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 72020 - No text for weekday number & ?

  The SAP error message "72020 No text for weekday number &" typically occurs when the system is unable to find a corresponding text for a specific weekday number in the language settings of the SAP system. This can happen due to missing entries in the text tables that define the names of the weekdays.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Text Entries: The most common cause is that the text for the specified weekday number is not maintained in the relevant text table (e.g., T005 for language-dependent texts).
  Language Settings: The error may also arise if the language settings in the user profile or the system are not correctly configured, leading to the system looking for a text in a language that is not available.
  Custom Development: If there are custom programs or enhancements that reference weekday texts, they may not handle certain cases correctly.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Text Table:
  
  Use transaction code SE11 to access the Data Dictionary.
  Look for the relevant text table (e.g., T005) and check if the entries for the weekdays are present for the required language.
  If entries are missing, you may need to add them manually.
  
  
  
  Maintain Language Settings:
  
  Ensure that the language settings in your user profile are correctly set. You can check this in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance).
  Make sure that the language you are using is supported and that the necessary texts are available in that language.
  
  
  
  Review Custom Code:
  
  If the error is occurring in a custom program, review the code to ensure that it correctly handles the retrieval of weekday texts and that it does not reference invalid weekday numbers.
  
  
  
  Transport Requests:
  
  If changes are made to the text tables, ensure that they are transported correctly to other environments (e.g., from development to production).
