• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UD019 - Short texts are suppressed from the definition ?

  The SAP error message UD019, which states "Short texts are suppressed from the definition," typically occurs in the context of SAP's data dictionary or when working with user-defined data elements, domains, or similar objects. This message indicates that the short text for a particular object is not available or has been suppressed, which can lead to issues in understanding or using that object effectively.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Short Text: The most common cause is that the short text for a data element or domain has not been defined. In SAP, every data element or domain should ideally have a short text that describes its purpose or usage.
  Suppressing Short Text: In some cases, the short text may have been intentionally suppressed during the object definition process, possibly due to design decisions or specific project requirements.
  Transport Issues: If the object was transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), the short text might not have been included in the transport request.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Define Short Text: 
  
  Go to the relevant data element or domain in the ABAP Dictionary (transaction SE11).
  Check if the short text is defined. If not, you can add a meaningful short text that describes the object.
  Save and activate the changes.
  
  
  
  Check Object Definition: 
  
  Ensure that the object is correctly defined and that all necessary fields, including the short text, are filled out.
  If the object is part of a transport request, ensure that the transport includes all necessary components.
  
  
  
  Review Transport Requests: 
  
  If the object was transported, check the transport logs to ensure that the short text was included in the transport request.
  If it was not included, you may need to re-transport the object with the short text defined.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: 
  
  If you are unsure about the purpose of the object or what the short text should be, consult project documentation or speak with the original developer or project team.
