• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SOTR_MESS064 - Text was deleted ?

  The SAP error message SOTR_MESS064, which states "Text was deleted," typically occurs in the context of SAP's text management system. This error indicates that a text object, such as a long text or a short text associated with a document or master data, has been deleted or is no longer available in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Text Deletion: The most common cause is that the text associated with a particular object (like a material, vendor, or customer) has been deleted either manually or through a programmatic process.
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the database where the text entries are stored, leading to the system not being able to retrieve the text.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or access the text, leading to the perception that it has been deleted.
  Transport Issues: If the text was part of a transport request that was not successfully imported into the target system, it may appear as deleted.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Text Existence: Verify if the text still exists in the relevant text table (e.g., STXH, STXL) using transaction codes like SE11 or SE16. If it has been deleted, you may need to recreate it.
  Recreate the Text: If the text is indeed missing, you can recreate it manually through the relevant transaction (e.g., MM01 for materials, XD01 for customers).
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to view the text. This can be checked in transaction SU53 or by consulting with your security team.
  Review Transport Requests: If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs to ensure that all objects, including texts, were successfully imported.
  Consult SAP Notes: Look for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
