E0668 - Details

• The SAP error message E0668, which states "No short text exists for &," typically occurs when the system is unable to find a short text description for a specific object or entry. This can happen in various contexts, such as when working with custom development objects, transport requests, or configuration settings.
  
  Cause:
  
  Missing Short Text: The most common cause is that the object (like a program, function module, or configuration entry) does not have a short text description defined in the system.
  Transport Issues: If the object was transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), the short text may not have been included in the transport request.
  Custom Development: In custom developments, if the developer did not provide a short text for the object, this error can occur.
  Language Settings: The error may also arise if the system is set to a language that does not have a short text defined
