Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PM0/ABSB_MESSAGES003 - Translation of &1 (field &2) is either missing or was not transported ?

  The SAP error message /PM0/ABSB_MESSAGES003 indicates that there is a missing translation for a specific field in the system. This typically occurs when a field's label or description has not been properly translated into the language that the user is currently using, or when the translation has not been transported from the development environment to the production environment.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Translation: The translation for the specified field (&2) in the specified language (&1) is not available in the system.
  Transport Issues: The translation might have been created in the development system but not transported to the quality assurance (QA) or production systems.
  Language Settings: The user might be using a language that does not have the necessary translations available.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Translations:
  
  Go to transaction SE63 (Translation: Initial Screen) to check if the translation exists for the specified field.
  If it does not exist, you can create the translation for the missing field.
  
  
  
  Transport Missing Translations:
  
  If the translation was created in the development system, ensure that it is included in a transport request and that the transport has been successfully moved to the target system (QA or production).
  Use transaction SE09 or SE10 to check the transport requests.
  
  
  
  Language Settings:
  
  Verify the user’s language settings in their user profile. You can check this in transaction SU01 by looking at the user’s default language.
  If the user needs to work in a different language, consider changing their language settings or providing the necessary translations.
  
  
  
  Re-transporting:
  
  If you suspect that the transport did not include the translations, you may need to re-transport the relevant objects or translations.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review any relevant documentation or notes related to the specific SAP module you are working with, as there may be additional steps or considerations.
