• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VG015 - ISO language key & is not assigned (segment &) ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message VG015:
  
  SAP Error Message: VG015
  Text: ISO language key & is not assigned (segment &)
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when the system tries to process or display data in a language that is not assigned or maintained in the system for the relevant segment or object. Specifically, the ISO language key (language code) being used is not assigned to the segment or master data record in question.
  In other words, the system expects a language key to be assigned for a particular segment (e.g., material description, vendor master, customer master, etc.), but it finds that the language key is missing or not maintained.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When creating or changing master data (e.g., material master, vendor master, customer master) and entering descriptions or texts in a language that is not assigned.
  When displaying or printing documents that require language-specific texts but the language key is not assigned.
  During data transfer or interface processing where language keys are involved.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Assign the ISO language key to the segment:
  
  Go to the relevant customizing transaction or master data maintenance.
  Assign or maintain the missing ISO language key for the segment or object.
  For example, in material master, you can maintain language-dependent descriptions in transaction MM02 or MM01.
  In customizing, check language assignments under:
  
  SPRO ? Logistics General ? Material Master ? Basic Settings ? Define Language-Dependent Fields
  Or relevant customizing paths for the specific module.
  
  
  
  
  
  Maintain the language key in the system:
  
  Check if the language key exists in the system (transaction SMLT).
  If the language key is missing, add it and assign it properly.
  
  
  
  Check user logon language:
  
  Sometimes the user logon language is set to a language not assigned to the data.
  Change the logon language or assign the language key to the data.
  
  
  
  Data consistency check:
  
  Run consistency checks or reports to find missing language assignments.
  Correct the master data or customizing accordingly.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction SMLT: Maintain language keys.
  Material Master: Language-dependent fields require language keys.
  SAP Notes: Search for VG015 in SAP Support Portal for any specific notes or patches.
  User logon language: The language key is often derived from the user logon language or document language.
  Customizing path: Logistics ? General ? Material Master ? Basic Settings ? Define Language-Dependent Fields.
