• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WTADDI_IDOC014 - No short text exists for promotion type &1 in language &2 ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WTADDI_IDOC014 No short text exists for promotion type &1 in language &2
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs when the system tries to process or display a promotion type (e.g., a condition type or a promotion identifier) for which no short text description exists in the specified language. The placeholders &1 and &2 represent:
  
  &1: The promotion type code or identifier.
  &2: The language key (e.g., EN for English, DE for German).
  
  In other words, the system is looking for a short text (a description or label) for a particular promotion type in a certain language, but it cannot find it in the database.
  This typically happens in scenarios involving:
  
  Pricing or promotion condition types in Sales and Distribution (SD).
  IDoc processing where promotion types are referenced.
  Custom or standard promotion types that have not been fully maintained in the system.
  
  
  Common Causes:
  
  The promotion type has been created or referenced but the short text description in the required language has not been maintained.
  Language-dependent texts for the promotion type are missing or incomplete.
  Transport or system copy issues where texts were not transported properly.
  Custom promotion types created without maintaining language-dependent texts.
  
  
  Solution / How to Fix:
  
  
  Maintain Short Text for Promotion Type:
  
  
  Go to the transaction where promotion types are maintained. This depends on the module and context, but commonly:
  
  For condition types: Use Transaction V/06 (Maintain Condition Types).
  For promotion types in pricing or SD: Use the relevant customizing transaction.
  
  
  
  Find the promotion type &1.
  
  
  Check the short text description in the language &2.
  
  
  If missing, enter the short text in the required language and save.
  
  
  
  
  Maintain Language-Dependent Texts:
  
  
  Use transaction SE63 (Translation Environment) to maintain or translate texts for the promotion type.
  
  
  Alternatively, use Transaction SM30 to maintain the relevant table if you know which table stores the short texts (e.g., TVARV, TVARVC, or custom tables).
  
  
  
  
  Check IDoc Processing:
  
  
  If the error occurs during IDoc processing, ensure that the promotion types referenced in the IDoc segments have texts maintained in the system.
  
  
  Check the IDoc segment data and cross-check with the promotion type master data.
  
  
  
  
  Transport and System Copy:
  
  
  If the texts were maintained in one system but missing in another, check transport logs and re-transport texts if necessary.
  
  
  Use transaction SCC1 or transport tools to move customizing.

  Custom tables for promotion types if applicable.

  V/06 - Condition Types
  SE63 - Translation Environment
  SM30 - Table/View Maintenance
  WE02 / WE05 - IDoc monitoring (to check IDoc errors)
