This error typically occurs in the context of master data or configuration settings where a description or text is required but has not been provided for the specified language.

    Cause:

    1. Missing Short Text: The primary cause of this error is that the short text (description) for a particular object (like a material, vendor, or other master data) has not been maintained in the specified language.
    2. Language Settings: The system is trying to access a text in a language that has not been configured or for which no text has been entered.
    3. Data Migration Issues: If data has been migrated from another system, it’s possible that the short texts were not transferred correctly.

    Solution:

    1. Maintain Short Text:

      • Navigate to the relevant transaction where the object is defined (e.g., MM01 for materials, XK01 for vendors).
      • Check the language settings and ensure that a short text is maintained for the specified language.
