Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WGDS_PROCESS083 - Texttyp is initial ?

  The SAP error message WGDS_PROCESS083: Texttyp is initial typically occurs in the context of SAP Workflow or Document Management System (DMS) when processing or handling text types (Texttyp) related to documents or workflow steps.
  
  Cause
  
  The error "Texttyp is initial" means that the Text Type (Texttyp) field is empty (initial) when the system expects a valid text type.
  This usually happens when a program, function module, or workflow step tries to process or access a text object but the required text type has not been specified or passed.
  In SAP, text types define the kind of text (e.g., description, note, long text) associated with an object. If this is missing, the system cannot determine which text to process.
  
  
  Where it occurs
  
  In SAP Workflow when processing text elements.
  In Document Management System (DMS) when handling document texts.
  In custom developments or standard SAP programs that deal with text objects but do not provide the text type.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check the input parameters:
  
  Ensure that the text type (Texttyp) is correctly filled before the processing step.
  If this is a custom program or workflow, verify that the text type is passed correctly to the function module or method handling the text.
  
  
  
  Review the configuration:
  
  In case of standard SAP workflows or DMS, check the configuration of text types for the relevant object types.
  Make sure that the text type exists and is assigned properly.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  Use debugging to check where the Texttyp field is set or expected.
  Identify why it is initial (empty) at runtime.
