• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RMSL321 - You have not selected a language; draft cannot be generated ?

  The SAP error message RMSL321, which states "You have not selected a language; draft cannot be generated," typically occurs when a user attempts to generate a draft document (such as a report or a form) without specifying a language in the relevant settings. This can happen in various SAP modules, particularly in the context of document generation or reporting.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the system requires a language setting to be specified for the draft document to be generated. This is necessary because the content of the document may vary based on the language selected, and the system needs to know which language to use for the output.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Select a Language:
  
  Navigate to the relevant transaction or screen where you are trying to generate the draft.
  Look for a field or dropdown menu that allows you to select a language. This is often labeled as "Language" or "Sprache" in German.
  Choose the appropriate language from the list (e.g., English, German, etc.).
  
  
  
  Check User Profile Settings:
  
  Ensure that your user profile has a default language set. You can check this in the user settings (transaction code SU01).
  If necessary, update your user profile to include a default language.
  
  
  
  Review Document Settings:
  
  If you are working with a specific document type or template, check if there are any language settings associated with that document type.
  Ensure that the document type supports the language you are trying to use.
  
  
  
  Re-attempt Document Generation:
  
  After selecting the language, try to generate the draft document again.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
