  Locate the Short Text Field: When you are in the rule or decision table creation or editing screen, look for the field labeled "Short Text" or similar.
  
  
  Enter a Description: Provide a meaningful short text that describes the purpose or function of the rule or decision. This text should be concise yet informative enough to understand the rule's intent.
  
  
  Save Changes: After entering the short text, attempt to save your changes again. The error should no longer appear if the field is filled correctly.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Field Requirements: The short text field is often used for documentation and clarity, especially in complex systems where multiple rules may exist.
  Best Practices: When creating short texts, consider using a consistent naming convention that reflects the rule's purpose, making it easier for others to understand and maintain.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's guidelines on using BRF for additional context and best practices related to rule creation and management.
