  The SAP error message MPE_OAN102 indicates that there is an attempt to create or modify a text entry for a specific event in a particular language, but that text already exists. This typically occurs in the context of managing event texts in the SAP system, particularly when dealing with multilingual support.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when:
  
  You are trying to create a new text entry for an event that already has a text defined in the specified language.
  The system checks for existing entries and finds that the text for the specified language (&1) already exists for the event (&2) and version (&3).
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Texts:
  
  Navigate to the relevant transaction or application where you manage event texts.
  Look for the event (&2) and check if there is already a text entry for the specified language (&1).
  
  
  
  Modify Existing Text:
  
  If a text entry already exists, you can either modify the existing text instead of trying to create a new one or delete the existing entry if it is no longer needed.
  
  
  
  Use a Different Language:
  
  If you need to create a new text and the existing one is valid, consider using a different language code that does not have an existing entry.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to the SAP documentation or help resources for more details on managing event texts and multilingual settings.
  
  
  
  Check User Permissions:
