How To Fix E2211 - Cardinality C:m is not allowed for key fields of a text table

E2211 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: E2 - DE Data Dictionary

• Message number: 211

• Message text: Cardinality C:m is not allowed for key fields of a text table

The foreign key field type specified for the foreign key fields was
'key fields of a text table'.
Thus, the condition applies that the dependent table is a
language-dependent text table for the referenced table. The key of the
text table is composed of the key of the referenced table and a
language key.
There can be no entries in the text table that do not refer to a record
in the check table. Consequently, the left side of the cardinality may
not be C. Only the cardinalities 1 : N and 1 : CN are valid.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message E2211 - Cardinality C:m is not allowed for key fields of a text table ?

  The SAP error message E2211, which states "Cardinality C:m is not allowed for key fields of a text table," typically occurs when there is an issue with the definition of a text table in the Data Dictionary (SE11) of SAP. This error is related to the cardinality settings of the key fields in a text table.
  
  Cause:
  
  
  Incorrect Cardinality Definition: In SAP, text tables are used to store language-dependent texts. The key fields of a text table must have a specific cardinality. The error indicates that the cardinality defined for the key fields is not allowed. Specifically, a text table should have a 1:1 relationship with the main table, meaning that for each entry in the main table, there should be exactly one corresponding entry in the text table.
  
  
  Multiple Key Fields: If you have defined multiple key fields in the text table, and their relationship does not conform to the expected cardinality,
