  The SAP error message M2833, which states "No text determination possible as it is dependent on other fields," typically occurs in the context of material management or sales and distribution processes when the system is unable to determine the appropriate text for a document (like a sales order, purchase order, or delivery) due to dependencies on other fields that are not filled or are incorrectly filled.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Required Fields: The fields that are necessary for text determination (like material number, customer, or vendor) may not be filled in the document.

  Dependencies on Other Fields: The text determination might depend on certain conditions or fields that are not met or filled in the current context.
  Customizations: If there are custom developments or modifications in the text determination logic, they might not be functioning as expected.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Required Fields: Ensure that all required fields for text determination are filled in the document. This includes checking for mandatory fields like material number, customer, or vendor.
  Review Text Determination Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for text determination in the relevant module (e.g., Sales and Distribution or Material Management).
