• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message COM_TEXT010 - Text type &1 in text det. proc. &2 of text object &3 for display only ?

  The SAP error message COM_TEXT010 indicates that there is an issue with the text type in a specific text determination procedure for a text object. The message states that the text type is set for "display only," which means that it cannot be modified or edited in the current context.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Text Type Configuration: The text type specified in the text determination procedure is configured as "display only" in the system settings. This means that while the text can be viewed, it cannot be changed.
  Text Object Settings: The text object associated with the text type may have restrictions that prevent editing.
  User Authorizations: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to edit the text, even if the text type is not set to "display only."
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the issue, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Text Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the text determination procedure in the SAP system.
  Verify the settings for the specific text type in question. If it is set to "display only," you may need to change it to allow editing if that is appropriate for your business process.
  
  
  
  Review Text Object Settings:
  
  Check the configuration of the text object associated with the text type. Ensure that it is not restricted to display only.
  You can do this by navigating to the relevant customizing transaction (e.g., SPRO) and checking the settings under the relevant application area.
  
  
  
  User Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to edit the text. This may involve checking the user's role and authorization profiles in the system.
  If the user lacks the necessary permissions, you may need to work with your SAP security team to grant the appropriate access.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources related to text determination procedures and text types for further insights into the configuration and usage.
  
  
  
  Testing:
