  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WTY004 - Text for pushbutton & is not maintained in logon language(&). ?

    SAP Error Message:
    WTY004 - Text for pushbutton & is not maintained in logon language(&).


    Cause:

    This error occurs when a pushbutton (or a UI element) in a SAP transaction or screen does not have its text (label) maintained in the user's logon language. SAP tries to display the button text in the user's logon language, but since the text is missing, it throws this error.

    Typically, this happens in custom developments or when using standard SAP transactions/screens where translations or text entries for pushbuttons are incomplete or missing for certain languages.


    Explanation:

    • The message text contains placeholders & which are replaced by the actual button name or identifier.
    • The system looks up the text for the pushbutton in the logon language.
    • If the text is not maintained (missing) in the language, the system cannot display the button label properly and raises this error.

    Solution:

    1. Maintain the Text for the Pushbutton in the Logon Language:

      • Use transaction SE41 (Menu Painter) or SE51 (Screen Painter) to check the screen or GUI status where the pushbutton is defined.
      • Identify the pushbutton and maintain the text in the required logon language.
      • Alternatively, use SE63 (Translation tool) to translate the missing texts for the pushbutton into the logon language.
    2. Check GUI Status:

      • The pushbutton text is usually maintained in the GUI status of the program.
      • Go to transaction SE80 or SE41, open the program or GUI status, and check the pushbutton texts.
      • Maintain the missing texts for all relevant languages.
    3. Check Logon Language:

      • Verify the user's logon language (transaction SU01 or by checking system variable SY-LANGU).
      • Ensure that the pushbutton text is maintained for that language.
    4. Transport Changes:

      • After maintaining the texts, transport the changes to the relevant systems (Quality, Production).

    Related Information:

    • Transaction SE41 - Menu Painter: Used to maintain GUI statuses and pushbutton texts.
    • Transaction SE51 - Screen Painter: Used to maintain screen elements including pushbuttons.
    • Transaction SE63 - Translation: Used to translate texts into different languages.
    • Transaction SU01 - User Maintenance: To check/change user logon language.
    • GUI Status: The GUI status defines the menu and pushbutton texts for a program or screen.

    Summary:

    Aspect Details
    Cause Pushbutton text missing in the user's logon language.
    Effect SAP cannot display the pushbutton label, resulting in error WTY004.
    Solution Maintain the pushbutton text in the GUI status for the logon language using SE41/SE51.
    Additional Use SE63 for translations; verify user logon language in SU01.

    If you maintain the missing pushbutton texts for the user's logon language, the error WTY004 will be resolved.
