  The SAP error message BTFR_MESS123 indicates that there is no TADIR entry for texts in a specific package in the original system. This error typically arises during transport operations when the system is unable to find the necessary metadata for the texts associated with a particular package.
  Cause:
  
  Missing TADIR Entry: The TADIR table contains entries that define the transport objects in SAP. If there is no entry for the texts in the specified package, it means that the system cannot find the relevant transport information.
  Transport Directory Issues: The transport directory may not have been properly updated or may be missing entries.
  Incorrect Package Assignment: The texts may not be correctly assigned to the package in question, leading to the absence of the TADIR entry.
  Transport Layer Issues: There may be issues with the transport layer configuration that prevent the system from recognizing the texts.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check TADIR Entries: Use transaction SE11 to check the TADIR table for the relevant entries. Ensure that there is a valid entry for the texts in the specified package and original system.
  Recreate Missing Entries: If the TADIR entry is missing, you may need to recreate it. This can involve creating a new transport request and including the necessary objects.
  Transport Request: If the texts were recently created or modified, ensure that they are included in a transport request. Use transaction SE09 or SE10 to manage transport requests.
  Check Package Assignment: Verify that the texts are correctly assigned to the appropriate package. You can do this in transaction SE80 or SE11.
