• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message O7023 - Choose 'Create' to create a text. ?

  The SAP error message O7023 ("Choose 'Create' to create a text.") typically occurs when you are trying to access or edit a text object in SAP that has not yet been created. This message is often encountered in the context of text management, where users are expected to create a text entry for a specific object (like a material, vendor, or customer) before they can edit or view it.
  Cause:
  
  Text Not Created: The primary cause of this error is that the text for the specified object does not exist in the system. You are trying to access a text that has not been created yet.
  Incorrect Navigation: You may have navigated to a text editing screen without first creating the text entry.
  Authorization Issues: In some cases, the user may not have the necessary permissions to create or edit texts.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Create the Text:
  
  Navigate to the appropriate transaction or screen where you can create the text.
  Look for a button or option labeled "Create" or "New" to initiate the creation of the text.
  Fill in the required fields and save the text entry.
  
  
  
  Check Object Type:
  
  Ensure that you are in the correct context for the object you are trying to create a text for (e.g., material, vendor, etc.).
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  If you believe the text should already exist or you are unable to create it, check with your SAP administrator to ensure you have the necessary authorizations to create or edit texts.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources specific to the module you are working in for additional guidance on creating texts.
