  SAP Message W8195
  Message Text:
  
  Value & is invalid in language &, but check table & is language-specific
  
  Cause
  This warning occurs during data validation when a value entered for a language-dependent field does not exist in the corresponding language-specific check table.
  
  The field being validated is linked to a language-dependent check table.
  The value entered is not found in the check table for the specified language.
  This usually happens when the master data or customizing entries for the particular language are missing or incomplete.
  The system expects the value to be valid in the language specified, but it is not found in the check table entries for that language.
  
  
  Explanation
  In SAP, some tables are language-dependent, meaning their entries are maintained separately for each language. For example, text tables or description tables where the descriptions are stored per language.
  When you enter a value in a field that is validated against such a language-dependent table, SAP checks if the value exists for the current language. If it does not, the system issues this warning.
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check the Language Setting:
  
  Verify the language in which the data is being entered.
  Make sure the language key is correct and consistent.
  
  
  
  Maintain the Check Table Entries:
  
  Go to the relevant customizing or master data transaction.
  Maintain the missing entries for the language in question.
  For example, if the check table is a text table, add the missing text entries in the required language.
  
  
  
  Use a Valid Value:
  
  Enter a value that exists in the check table for the specified language.
  
  
  
  If Appropriate, Adjust the Check Table:
  
  If the check table should not be language-specific, consider changing its configuration (this is rare and should be done carefully).
  
  
  
  Ignore the Warning (if acceptable):
  
  Since this is a warning (W message), it does not stop processing.
  If the missing language-specific entry is not critical, you may proceed but should be aware of potential inconsistencies.

  Check Tables:
  
  Check tables are used in SAP to validate input values against a list of allowed values. Language-dependent check tables store values per language.
  
  
  Language-Dependent Tables:
  
  Tables with language-dependent data have a language key (e.g., SPRAS) as part of their primary key.
  
  
  Transaction Codes:

  Example Scenario:
  
  Suppose you have a field for "Country Description" linked to a language-dependent table of country names. If you enter a country description in English but the check table does not have an English entry for that country, you get this warning.
