  SAP Error Message: VN103
  Message Text:
  
  Maintain T685T for language &, usage &, applictn &, output &
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs when the system expects a text entry in the table T685T for a specific combination of:
  
  Language (Sprache)
  Usage (Verwendung)
  Application (Applikation)
  Output (Ausgabe)
  
  but cannot find it.
  T685T is the text table for the output types (T685) in the Vendor Master data output determination. The system uses this table to display descriptions of output types in various languages and for different usages/applications.
  If the required entry is missing, the system cannot display or process the output type correctly, hence the error.
  
  When does this error occur?
  
  When maintaining or processing vendor master output types.
  When the system tries to display or use an output type description in a particular language or usage but the corresponding text entry is missing.
  During output determination or printing of vendor master data outputs.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Maintain the missing entries in table T685T:
  
  Go to transaction SM30 or SE16N to view or maintain table T685T.
  Use the following parameters to find the missing entry:
  
  Language (e.g., EN for English)
  Usage (e.g., 'V' for Vendor)
  Application (e.g., 'LFA1' for Vendor Master)
  Output (the output type code)
  
  
  If the entry is missing, create a new entry with the appropriate description text.
  
  
  
  Use the standard SAP transaction to maintain output types and their descriptions:
  
  Transaction NACE (Output Types)
  
  Select the application (e.g., Vendor master)
  Select the output type
  Maintain the description texts in the required languages.
  
  
  
  
  
  Check language settings:
  
  Ensure that the language in which the system is running or the user is working is supported and the descriptions exist.
  If necessary, add translations for the output type descriptions.
  
  
  
  Transport the changes:
  
  If you are in a development or quality system, transport the changes to production.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  Table T685 contains the output types for vendor master data.
  Table T685T contains the descriptions (texts) for these output types in different languages.
  This error is common when custom output types are created but their descriptions are not maintained properly.
  Always maintain descriptions for all languages used in your system landscape to avoid this error.
