  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_AT_GENERATE028 - No text exists in language &1 for variant allocation table strategy &2 ?

    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:


    SAP Error Message:

    WRF_AT_GENERATE028 No text exists in language &1 for variant allocation table strategy &2


    Meaning / Cause:

    This error occurs when the system tries to generate or process a variant allocation table strategy but cannot find the corresponding descriptive text in the specified language (&1) for the strategy (&2).

    • &1 = Language key (e.g., EN for English, DE for German)
    • &2 = Variant allocation table strategy identifier

    In SAP, variant allocation tables are used in variant configuration to allocate characteristics or values based on certain strategies. Each strategy should have a descriptive text in the system for each supported language. If the text is missing, the system raises this error.


    Common Causes:

    • The variant allocation table strategy has been created or maintained without providing the descriptive text in the required language.
    • The language settings in the user profile or system do not match the languages for which texts exist.
    • Transport or system copy issues where texts were not transported or got lost.
    • Custom or newly created strategies where texts were not maintained.

    Solution / How to Fix:

    1. Check the Variant Allocation Table Strategy:

      • Go to transaction CU50 (Variant Allocation Table) or the relevant configuration transaction.
      • Identify the strategy &2 mentioned in the error.
    2. Maintain Texts for the Strategy:

      • Use transaction SE63 (Translation) or directly maintain texts in the customizing.
      • Alternatively, in the variant allocation table maintenance screen, look for an option to maintain texts/descriptions.
      • Ensure that the descriptive text exists for the language &1 (the language in which the error occurred).
    3. Add Missing Texts:

      • If the text is missing, add the appropriate description in the required language.
      • Save and transport the changes if necessary.
    4. Check User Language Settings:

      • Verify the user’s logon language and ensure that texts exist for that language.
      • If the user works in a language for which no texts exist, either add texts or switch to a language with existing texts.
    5. System Consistency:

      • If this error appeared after a system copy or transport, verify that all texts were transported correctly.
      • Re-transport or manually maintain missing texts if needed.

    Additional Information:

    • Variant allocation tables and their strategies are part of SAP Variant Configuration (LO-VC).
    • Proper maintenance of texts is important for usability and error-free processing.
    • If you are unsure about the strategy &2, check customizing under SPRO ? Logistics - General ? Variant Configuration ? Variant Tables ? Define Variant Allocation Table Strategies.
    • For multilingual environments, always maintain texts in all relevant languages.

    Summary:

    Aspect Details
    Error No text exists in language &1 for variant allocation table strategy &2
    Cause Missing descriptive text for the strategy in the specified language
    Solution Maintain the missing text in the required language via CU50 or SE63
    Related Areas Variant Configuration, Variant Allocation Tables, Language settings

    If you need further assistance, please provide the exact strategy code (&2) and the language (&1) to guide you more specifically.
