How To Fix SCODELIST_REGISTRY113 - Code Type &1: Foreign key definition problem (see long text)

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: SCODELIST_REGISTRY - Codelist Registry Messages

• Message number: 113

• Message text: Code Type &1: Foreign key definition problem (see long text)

What causes this issue?

There is a problem defining the relationship to the text table. This
relationship must be specified uniquely, so that the descriptive text
for a code value can be determined uniquely .
If there is a foreign key of type 'Text Table Key Fields' between the
text table and the code table, it is used to specify the relationship.
If there is no such key, the text table key field names must match the
code table (extended by a key field for the language).
In this case, the table &V2& must contain a field called &V3&, which is
not the case.

System Response

The system does not accept the entry.

How to fix this error?

Check and correct the definition of the foreign key text table to the
code table.

Procedure for System Administrators
