• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TD140 - No SAP original for form &1 language &2 ?

  The SAP error message TD140 "No SAP original for form &1 language &2" typically occurs when the system is unable to find the original version of a form in the specified language. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when printing forms, generating documents, or using Smart Forms or SAPscript.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Form Language Version: The original form (e.g., a Smart Form or SAPscript) has not been translated or created in the specified language.
  Incorrect Language Settings: The language settings in the user profile or the system configuration may not match the available languages for the form.
  Form Not Activated: The form may not be activated or may have been deleted or not properly transported to the system.
  Transport Issues: If the form was transported from another system, it may not have been included in the transport request or may not have been imported correctly.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Form Language Versions:
  
  Go to the transaction code SE71 (for SAPscript) or SMARTFORMS (for Smart Forms).
  Check if the form exists in the specified language. If not, you may need to create or translate the form into the required language.
  
  
  
  Activate the Form:
  
  Ensure that the form is activated. In the case of Smart Forms, you can do this by opening the form in transaction SMARTFORMS and clicking on the "Activate" button.
  
  
  
  Review User Language Settings:
  
  Check the user profile settings (transaction SU01) to ensure that the language is set correctly. The user’s logon language should match one of the languages available for the form.
  
  
  
  Transport Check:
  
  If the form was recently transported, verify that the transport request was successful and that the form is available in the target system. You can check the transport logs for any errors.
  
  
  
  Fallback Language:
  
  If the form is not available in the specified language, consider using a fallback language. This can be configured in the form settings or by modifying the print program to use a default language if the specified one is not available.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific form or transaction to see if there are any known issues or additional steps required.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: SE71 (SAPscript), SMARTFORMS (Smart Forms), SE78 (for form management).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any specific issues related to the form or language settings.
  User Exits and Enhancements: If you are using custom forms, ensure that any user exits or enhancements are correctly implemented and do not interfere with form processing.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the TD140 error and ensure that the required form is available in the specified language.
