• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message COM_TEXT_CUST175 - Not all text types appear (authorization missing) ?

  The SAP error message COM_TEXT_CUST175 indicates that not all text types are displayed due to missing authorizations. This typically occurs in the context of text management in SAP, where users may not have the necessary permissions to view or edit certain text types associated with documents, materials, or other objects.
  Cause:
  The error is primarily caused by insufficient authorization for the user to access specific text types. In SAP, text types are often linked to various objects (like materials, purchase orders, etc.), and each text type can have its own authorization requirements. If a user tries to access a text type for which they do not have the necessary permissions, this error message will be triggered.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error. This will show you the authorization check that failed and help identify which specific authorization is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code PFCG to review the roles assigned to the user and check if the necessary authorizations for the relevant text types are included.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If you identify that the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify the user's role or create a new role that includes the required authorizations.
  Ensure that the role has the appropriate authorization objects related to text management, such as F_TD_TEX (Text Management) or other relevant objects.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can help you adjust the roles or provide the necessary access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new permissions take effect. Then, test to see if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects that control access to text types. This can include objects related to document types, material types, or specific text types.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on text management and authorization concepts.
  User Training: Ensure that users are trained on how to handle text types and understand the implications of authorization settings.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the COM_TEXT_CUST175 error and ensure that users have the necessary access to the text types they need.
