How To Fix AD267 - &-& (text foreign key requires additional language field)

AD267 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: AD - Data Dictionary application messages

• Message number: 267

• Message text: &-& (text foreign key requires additional language field)

What causes this issue?

A text foreign key defines the relationship between a table and its
text table.
Usually the text table has the same key as the check table, with a
language field extension. In the R/3 System, a language field is
indicated by a domain of type 'LANG'.
Since in this case the foreign key table does not have a language field
as key extension, you may not select "Key fields of a text table".

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

Specify the type of foreign key field correctly.
The foreign key table in question might be a text table, but the
language field does not have type 'LANG'. In this case the language
field must be reassigned to a domain of type 'LANG'.
