• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QM601 - No text exists in &2 language for function &1 ?

  The SAP error message QM601 ("No text exists in &2 language for function &1") typically occurs in the Quality Management (QM) module when the system is unable to find a text description for a specific function or object in the specified language. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when trying to display or process quality notifications, inspection lots, or other QM-related objects.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Language-Specific Texts: The most common cause is that the text for the specified function (e.g., inspection type, notification type) has not been maintained in the desired language in the SAP system.
  Incorrect Language Settings: The user’s language settings may not match the available texts in the system.
  Custom Development: If there are custom developments or enhancements, they may not have the necessary texts maintained for all languages.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Maintain Texts:
  
  Go to the relevant transaction (e.g., SE63 for translation or SE11 for data dictionary objects) to maintain the missing texts.
  Ensure that the texts for the specific function are available in the required language. This may involve translating existing texts or creating new entries.
  
  
  
  Check Language Settings:
  
  Verify the user’s language settings in the SAP GUI. You can check this in the user profile settings.
  Ensure that the language you are using is supported and that texts exist for that language.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes:
  
  Use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE78 (SAPScript Forms) to check if the texts are maintained for the relevant objects.
  For QM-specific texts, you may also check transaction QM01 (Create Quality Notification) or QA01 (Create Inspection Lot) to see if the texts are missing.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on maintaining texts for specific QM functions.
  
  
  
  Contact SAP Support:
  
  If the issue persists and you are unable to resolve it, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance, especially if it involves standard SAP objects.
