How to fix this error?

This error message is only output if the segment text is supplied via a
so-called customer function. This function reports that no segment text
could be determined for the current item.

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

Note:
Without a customer function, the segment text is filled from the
intermediate document field
- INV_ID01: EDI_Z51-FTEXT or
- INVOIC01: E1EDPT2-TDLINE (first occurrence per line).
You can generally fill this field as you want by adjusting the
allocations on the side of the converter.
Inbound processing of the invoice is terminated if the exception
NOT_FOUND is set for the customer function. Check whether this is
required (otherwise, the exception is not to be set).
