module name.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

Enter a text for the notice procedure in
<DS:SIMG.REFXVC_TIVTMNTPROC>Customizing</>,
or change the reference so it
refers to a different text module.
The text modules used are client-dependent and have to be transported
separately. If you already created the text in another system, you can
enter the text module in a transport request using transaction
<DS:TRAN.RECATM>RECATM</>.

characteristics:
Text object = RE
