This can happen in various contexts, such as during the creation or modification of a material master, sales order, or other documents that involve item texts.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Text Group: The primary cause of this error is that the item you are trying to maintain does not have a defined text group in the system. Text groups are used in SAP to categorize and manage item texts.

  Ensure that the text group is assigned to the material or document type you are trying to maintain.
  
  
  
  Assign Text Group:
  
  If the text group is missing, you may need to create a new text group or assign an existing one to the material or document type.
  This can typically be done in the material master record or the relevant configuration settings.
  
  
  
  Review Document Type Settings:
  
  Check if the document type you are working with allows for item text maintenance. If not, you may need to adjust the settings or use a different document type.
