• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 72023 - No text for infotype & ?

  The SAP error message 72023, which states "No text for infotype &," typically occurs when the system is unable to find a description or text for a specific infotype in the language that is currently being used. Infotypes are data structures in SAP that store employee-related information, and they often have associated texts that provide descriptions or labels for the data fields.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Texts: The most common cause of this error is that the text for the specified infotype is not maintained in the system for the current language.
  Language Settings: The user’s language settings may not match the language in which the infotype texts are maintained.
  Custom Infotypes: If the infotype is a custom one, it may not have been properly configured to include texts.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Maintain Infotype Texts:
  
  Go to transaction code SE11 (Data Dictionary).
  Enter the infotype number and check if texts are maintained.
  If not, you can maintain the texts using transaction code SM30 or SM31 for the relevant table (e.g., T582A for infotype texts).
  
  
  
  Check Language Settings:
  
  Ensure that the user’s language settings are correct. You can check this in the user profile settings (transaction code SU01).
  If the infotype texts are maintained in a different language, you may need to switch to that language or maintain the texts in the desired language.
  
  
  
  Custom Infotypes:
  
  If the infotype is custom, ensure that the development team has created and maintained the necessary texts for the infotype.
  You may need to consult with the ABAP team or the person responsible for the custom development.
  
  
  
  Transport Requests:
  
  If the infotype texts were recently created or modified, ensure that the changes have been transported to the relevant system (e.g., from development to production).
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Infotype Structure: Infotypes are identified by a unique number (e.g., 0001 for Organizational Assignment, 0002 for Personal Data).
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data) and PA20 (Display HR Master Data) to see how infotypes are used in practice.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or HR module support team for further assistance.
