  The SAP error message LTR2_BASIS_CHECK116 with the text "Text document &1 does not exist" typically indicates that the system is trying to access a text document that is not available in the database. This can occur in various contexts, such as when working with text elements in SAP scripts, SmartForms, or other text-related functionalities.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Text Document: The specified text document (identified by the placeholder &1) does not exist in the system. This could be due to:
  
  The document was never created.
  The document was deleted.
  The document is in a different language version that is not available.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a configuration issue where the system is looking for a text document in the wrong location or with an incorrect identifier.
  
  
  Transport Issues: If the text document was part of a transport request that was not successfully imported into the target system, it may be missing.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Document Existence:
  
  Use transaction SE78 (SAPScript Forms) or SMARTFORMS to check if the text document exists.
  If you know the name of the text document, you can also use transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary) to search for it.
  
  
  
  Create or Restore the Document:
  
  If the document does not exist, you may need to create it. This can be done through the relevant transaction (e.g., SO10 for text elements).

  Check Language Settings:
  
  Ensure that the text document exists in the required language. If the system is looking for a specific language version, make sure that version is available.
  
  
  
  Review Transport Requests:
