How To Fix STRALAN_MSAG040 - Caution: Switching supplementation mode (see long text)

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: STRALAN_MSAG - Language Transport Messages

• Message number: 040

• Message text: Caution: Switching supplementation mode (see long text)

What causes this issue?

The "Mode" column shows how each table is supplemented.
Mode "I" (insert only) only fills any gaps in the foreign language with
the supplementation language. It does not change any existing entries.
This is the default, and you must always use it for normal
supplementation.
Mode "U" (update allowed) also overwrites existing entries. Only use
this mode for special cases on certain tables, since it overwrites
entries permanently.
Mode '1' (insert combined with RSREFILL) copies texts in the same
language from client 000 before the supplementation (in mode"I"). This
can overwrite previously supplemented texts. The texts from client 000
are copied only if the corresponding texts match in the supplementation
language in the local client and in client 000.
You can use this mode for client-specific Customizing tables only.
Mode '2' (insert combined with client lift) also copies texts from
client 000 before the supplementation. In this case, however, all texts
missing or supplemented in higher clients are copied.
This mode is also only available for client-specific Customizing tables.

System Response

The system logs the mode chosen by the user for each table.

How to fix this error?

Only choose mode "U" if you want to replace any existing foreign
language entries in tables with entries from another language.
Otherwise, use mode "I", "1", or "2".
