• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRBEN00TABLEREADS038 - No text for infotype & / infotype screen & ?

  The SAP error message HRBEN00TABLEREADS038 typically indicates that there is no text available for a specific infotype or infotype screen in the SAP system. This error is often encountered in the context of HR (Human Resources) modules, particularly when dealing with infotypes related to employee benefits or other HR-related data.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Texts: The most common cause of this error is that the text for the specified infotype or infotype screen has not been maintained in the system. This can happen if the infotype was created but the corresponding text entries were not added.
  Language Settings: The error may also occur if the texts are not available in the language that the user is currently using. SAP supports multiple languages, and if the text is only maintained in a different language, it may not be displayed.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the HR module that prevent the system from retrieving the necessary text.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Maintain Texts:
  
  Go to the transaction code SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE78 (SAPScript Forms) to check if the texts for the infotype are maintained.
  Use transaction SM30 to access the relevant table for the infotype and maintain the necessary texts.
  Ensure that the texts are maintained for all required languages.
  
  
  
  Check Language Settings:
  
  Verify the user’s language settings in the SAP GUI. You can do this by checking the user profile or settings.
  If the texts are available in a different language, consider switching to that language or maintaining the texts in the desired language.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration settings for the HR module to ensure that all necessary infotypes and their texts are properly configured.
  Consult with your SAP HR functional consultant to ensure that the infotype is correctly set up.
  
  
  
  Transport Requests:
  
  If the infotype was recently created or modified, ensure that the changes have been transported to the relevant system (e.g., from development to production).
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Infotypes: Infotypes are data structures in SAP that store specific types of information about employees, such as personal data, payroll data, and benefits.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data) and PA20 (Display HR Master Data) to view and manage infotype data.
  SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
