• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EZ660 - Text &1 does not exist in language &2 ?

  The SAP error message EZ660, which states "Text &1 does not exist in language &2," typically occurs when the system is trying to retrieve a text or description for a specific object (like a material, customer, vendor, etc.) in a language that does not have the corresponding text available in the database.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Texts: The primary cause of this error is that the text for the specified object (e.g., material, customer) is not maintained in the specified language.
  Incorrect Language Settings: The language settings in the user profile or the system configuration may not match the available texts.
  Data Migration Issues: If data was migrated from another system, it’s possible that not all texts were transferred correctly.
  Custom Development: If there are custom programs or enhancements that reference texts, they may not have been properly configured for all languages.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Maintain Texts: 
  
  Go to the relevant transaction (e.g., MM01 for materials, XD01 for customers) and check if the text exists for the specified language. If it does not, you can create or maintain the text.
  For materials, you can use transaction MM02 to add or change the text in the required language.
  For customers or vendors, use XD02 or XK02 respectively.
  
  
  
  Check Language Settings:
  
  Ensure that the user’s language settings are correct. You can check this in the user profile settings.
  If the system is set to a language that does not have the required texts, consider changing the user’s language or adding the necessary texts.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency Check:
  
  If the error occurs after a data migration, perform a consistency check to ensure that all necessary texts were migrated correctly.
  You may need to run reports or use transaction codes like SE16 to check the relevant tables for missing entries.
  
  
  
  Custom Development Review:
  
  If the error is coming from a custom program, review the code to ensure that it correctly handles text retrieval for all languages.
  Ensure that the program has fallback mechanisms in case a text is not found in the specified language.
