  The SAP error message STXT014, which states "There is no description text for form &1 language &2," typically occurs when a user tries to access a form (such as a print form or a layout) that does not have a corresponding description or text in the specified language. This can happen in various SAP modules, especially in the context of forms used for printing or displaying documents.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Texts: The primary cause of this error is that the description text for the specified form (identified by &1) is not available in the specified language (identified by &2).

  To resolve the STXT014 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Form Configuration:
