• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message COM_TEXT005 - Text object missing ?

  The SAP error message COM_TEXT005 indicates that a text object is missing in the system. This typically occurs when the system is trying to access a text that has not been defined or is not available for a specific object or document.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Text Object: The text object that is being referenced does not exist in the system.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration for the text object may not be set up correctly.
  Transport Issues: If the text object was supposed to be transported from another system (like Development to Production) and the transport did not include the text object, it may be missing.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the text object.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Text Object Configuration:
  
  Go to the relevant transaction (e.g., SE75 for text object management) and verify if the text object is defined.
  Ensure that the text object is correctly configured and that the necessary texts are maintained.
