How To Fix FDT_CORE214 - &1 is not versioned; text or documentation must not be version-dependent

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FDT_CORE - Formula & Derivation Tool: Core

• Message number: 214

• Message text: &1 is not versioned; text or documentation must not be version-dependent

What causes this issue?

You have tried to define the texts or documentation for the current
object as version-dependent. However, for object &v1&, versioning is
currently turned off (or is about to be turned off). Therefore, it
doesn't make sense to make any object setting version-dependent while
the object as a whole is not.

System Response

The object cannot be activated.

How to fix this error?

If you want to store version-dependent texts or documentation for object
&V1&, make sure versioning is turned on for the object.
Note: Versioning of texts and documentation leads to significantly
higher consumption of database storage capacity. We therefore recommend
to use this feature only in cases where this is mandatory from a
use-case perspective.

Procedure for System Administrators

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDT_CORE214 - &1 is not versioned; text or documentation must not be version-dependent ?

  The SAP error message FDT_CORE214 indicates that a specific object (like a field, text, or documentation) is not versioned, which means that it should not depend on a specific version of the application or system. This error typically arises in the context of SAP Fiori or SAP UI5 applications, particularly when dealing with field definitions, texts, or documentation that are expected to be consistent across different versions.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Versioned Object: The object you are trying to use is not set up to be versioned, but the system is attempting to access it in a way that requires versioning.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the way the object is defined or in the way the application is set up to handle versioning.
  Inconsistent Data: The data or metadata associated with the object may be inconsistent or incorrectly defined, leading to the error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Object Definition: Review the definition of the object in question. Ensure that it is correctly set up to be non-versioned if that is the intended behavior.
  Update Configuration: If the object should be versioned, update its configuration to enable versioning. This may involve adjusting settings in the relevant SAP transaction or configuration area.
  Review Documentation: Ensure that any associated texts or documentation are not tied to a specific version. They should be generic and applicable across versions.
  Test Changes: After making changes, test the application or process again to see if the error persists.
