  The SAP error message COM_DML_CUST075 indicates that in the context of customizing or maintaining texts for a particular object (like a material, customer, vendor, etc.), the system requires that one of the text types be designated as the "main text." This is a common requirement in SAP to ensure that there is a primary text that can be used for display or processing purposes.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  Multiple text types are defined for an object, but none of them is marked as the main text type.

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to designate one of the text types as the main text type. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the relevant transaction: Depending on the object you are working with, you may need to go to a specific transaction (e.g., MM02 for materials, VD02 for customers, etc.).

  Identify the text types: Review the list of text types that are available for the object. 
  
  
  Designate the main text:
  
  Select one of the text types that you want to designate as the main text.
  There should be an option or checkbox to mark it as the main text type. This may be labeled as "Main Text" or similar.
  
  
  
  Save your changes: After designating the main text type, make sure to save your changes.
  
  
  Test the changes: After saving, try to perform the action that previously resulted in the error to ensure that it has been resolved.
