  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W5032 - No texts available for purchase requisition & & ?

    SAP Error Message:
    W5032 No texts available for purchase requisition & &


    Cause:

    This warning message appears when you try to display or process a purchase requisition (PR) in SAP, but there are no texts (such as item texts, header texts, or long texts) maintained or available for the specified purchase requisition number and item.

    In other words, the system expects some text information related to the purchase requisition but finds none.


    Explanation:

    • Purchase requisitions can have associated texts for various purposes: item descriptions, delivery instructions, internal notes, etc.
    • When a transaction or report tries to read or display these texts and none exist, SAP issues this warning.
    • This is not an error that stops processing; it is a warning indicating missing text data.

    Solution:

    1. Check if Texts are Required:

      • Determine if texts are mandatory for your business process or if the warning can be ignored.
      • Often, texts are optional, so this warning can be informational.
    2. Maintain Texts for the Purchase Requisition:

      • Go to transaction ME52N (Change Purchase Requisition) or ME53N (Display Purchase Requisition).
      • Enter the purchase requisition number.
      • Navigate to the Texts tab or use the menu path:
        Goto -> Item Texts or Goto -> Header Texts.
      • Add or maintain the required texts (e.g., item description, delivery instructions).
    3. Check Customizing Settings:

      • Sometimes, the system expects texts due to configuration or user exit/custom code.
      • Verify if any user exits or enhancements are trying to read texts and handle the absence of texts gracefully.
    4. Ignore if Not Critical:

      • Since this is a warning, if your process does not require texts, you can safely ignore it.

    Related Information:

    • Message Class: W5 (Purchase Requisition)
    • Transaction Codes: ME51N, ME52N, ME53N
    • SAP Notes: Check SAP OSS notes for any known issues related to message W5032.
    • User Exits/BADIs: If custom code reads PR texts, ensure it handles empty texts properly.
    • Text Types: Header texts, item texts, long texts, delivery instructions, etc.

    Summary:

    Aspect Details
    Cause No texts maintained for the purchase requisition or item.
    Effect Warning message W5032 displayed.
    Solution Maintain texts in ME52N/ME53N or ignore if not required.
    Notes Not a critical error; informational warning.

    If you want, I can help you with the exact steps to add texts or check configuration.
