  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings may not be correctly set up to reference the text object.
  Transport Issues: If the text object was recently transported from another system, it may not have been included in the transport request.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the text object.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Text Object Definition:
  
  Go to the relevant transaction (e.g., SE11 for Data Dictionary) and check if the text object exists.
