• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SD117 - Warning: Original in language & was revised ?

  The SAP error message SD117, which states "Warning: Original in language & was revised," typically occurs in the Sales and Distribution (SD) module when there is a discrepancy between the original document language and the language of the revised document. This warning is often encountered when creating or modifying sales documents, such as sales orders, quotations, or contracts.
  Cause:
  
  Language Mismatch: The original document was created in a different language than the one currently being used for the revision. For example, if the original document was created in English and the user is now trying to revise it in German, this warning will appear.

  Check Document Language: Verify the language of the original document and ensure that you are aware of the language in which it was created. If necessary, switch to the original language to make the revisions.
  User Profile Settings: Check your user profile settings in SAP to ensure that the default language is set correctly. You can do this by navigating to the user settings in the SAP GUI.
  Translation Maintenance: If the document requires translations, ensure that all necessary texts are translated and maintained in the system. This can be done through transaction codes like SE63 (Translation) to manage translations for various texts.
  Ignore Warning: If the language mismatch is acceptable for your business process, you may choose to ignore the warning, as it is just a notification and does not prevent the document from being saved or processed.
