  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TEND158 typically indicates that there is a missing text for a specific language in the SAP system. This error occurs when the system attempts to read a text (such as a description or message) in a default language but cannot find the corresponding text in the specified language.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Language Text: The primary cause of this error is that the text for the specified language (&2) does not exist in the system. The system is trying to retrieve a text entry that has not been maintained for that particular language.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of language settings in the SAP system, leading to inconsistencies in text availability.
  Transport Issues: If texts were transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), there may have been an issue during the transport process that resulted in missing texts.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Maintain Missing Texts:
  
  Go to the relevant transaction (e.g., SE63 for translation or SE11 for data dictionary objects) to maintain the missing texts for the specified language.
  Ensure that the texts are available for all required languages in the system.
  
  
  
  Check Language Settings:

  Transport Management:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs to see if there were any errors during the transport of texts.
  Re-transport the texts if necessary.
  
  
  
  Fallback to Default Language:
  
  If the text is not available in the specified language, the system may fall back to the default language. Ensure that the default language has the necessary texts maintained.
