  SAP Error Message VH124
  Message Text:
  
  The external presentation & is not available in language &
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when the system tries to use or display an external presentation (a form of output format or layout, often related to printing or output management) that is not defined or maintained for the specified language.
  In SAP, external presentations are language-dependent. If the system requests an external presentation in a language for which it has no definition or translation, it triggers this error.
  
  Explanation
  
  External Presentation: This refers to a layout or format used for output, such as a print form, label, or document layout.
  Language: SAP supports multiple languages, and external presentations must be maintained for each language in which they are used.
  The placeholders & in the message are replaced by:
  
  The name or ID of the external presentation.
  The language code (e.g., EN, DE, FR).
  
  
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check External Presentation Maintenance:
  
  Go to the transaction or customizing node where external presentations are maintained.
  Verify if the external presentation mentioned in the error exists for the language in question.
  
  
  
  Create or Copy External Presentation for the Missing Language:
  
  If the external presentation is missing for the language, create it.
  Often, you can copy the external presentation from a reference language (e.g., English) and translate or adjust it as needed.
  
  
  
  Verify Language Settings:
  
  Ensure that the language code used in the output request is correct and supported.
  If the language is not supported, either add support or change the output language.
  
  
  
  Check User or Output Device Language Settings:
  
  Sometimes, the language setting of the user or output device triggers the request for an external presentation in an unsupported language.
  Adjust these settings if necessary.

  Module-specific customizing transactions.
