How To Fix EI444 - Enter a text container

EI444 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: EI - Foreign Trade: Gen. Output

• Message text: Enter a text container

What causes this issue?

Since the vendor declaration forms can include materials from different
plants, the system cannot clearly assign the plant-dependent text
container that will be used. Therefore, you need to specify the text
containers. The "Maximum dunning level" parameter defines how many text
containers must be entered.
&PROCEDURE&
To create a text container,
Choose <ZK>Tools --> Form print --> SAPscript --> Standard text </>from
the SAP standard menu.
Enter a name for your text container and the language code.
Enter <ZH>ST</> in the Text-ID field.
After you have entered a text, save the text container.
Now you can enter the text container name on the selection criteria
screen for the vendor declaration.
You need to ensure that the text container is created in any additional
languages that will be used.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
