• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EZ149 - Text &1 has been changed in original language &2 ?

  The SAP error message EZ149 indicates that a text element (like a field label, message, or description) has been changed in the original language of the system. This message typically arises in the context of SAP development, particularly when working with text elements in programs, function modules, or other objects.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  A text element has been modified in the original language (e.g., German, English) but the changes have not been properly transported or activated in the target system.
  There may be inconsistencies between the original language text and the translations in other languages.
  The text element is being accessed or referenced in a way that does not align with the current state of the text in the original language.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the EZ149 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Text Elements:
  
  Go to the relevant transaction (e.g., SE11 for Data Dictionary, SE80 for Object Navigator) and check the text elements for the object in question.
  Ensure that the text in the original language is correct and complete.
  
  
  
  Transport Changes:
  
  If the changes were made in a development environment, ensure that they have been properly transported to the quality assurance or production environment.
  Use transaction SE09 or SE10 to check the transport requests and ensure they are released and imported correctly.
  
  
  
  Activate Objects:
  
  If the text elements are part of a program or function module, ensure that the object is activated after making changes. Use transaction SE80 or SE38 to activate the program or module.
  
  
  
  Check Translations:
  
  If the system is multilingual, check that the translations for the text elements in other languages are consistent with the original language. You can use transaction SE63 to manage translations.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  If the error persists, consider debugging the program or function module to identify where the text element is being accessed and why the error is triggered.
