• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WZ618 - Text does not exist ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WZ618 - Text does not exist
  
  Cause:
  The error message WZ618 - Text does not exist typically occurs when the system tries to access or display a text object (such as a material description, document text, or any other text element) that is not available or has not been maintained in the database. This can happen in various SAP modules, for example:
  
  When a text ID or text object is referenced but the corresponding text entry is missing.
  When a user tries to display or print a document or master data that requires a text which has not been created or maintained.
  During data transfer or interface processing where text data is expected but not found.
  
  
  Common Scenarios:
  
  Missing long text for a material, vendor, or customer.
  Missing text in purchase orders, sales orders, or billing documents.
  Text objects related to customizing or master data not maintained.
  Texts in forms or reports that are called but not created.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check and Maintain the Missing Text:
  
  Identify the text object and text ID that is missing.
  Use the appropriate transaction to maintain the text. For example:
  
  Material long text: MM02 ? Texts tab.
  Purchase order text: ME22N ? Item texts.
  Customer or vendor texts: XD02 or VD02 / FK02.
  
  
  If the text is related to customizing, check the IMG settings or the relevant customizing transaction.
  
  
  
  Verify Text Object and Text ID:
  
  Confirm that the correct text object and text ID are being used in the program or process.
  Sometimes, a wrong or obsolete text ID is referenced, causing the system to look for a non-existent text.
  
  
  
  Check Program or Report Logic:
  
  If the error occurs during a custom report or program execution, debug or review the code to ensure it handles missing texts gracefully.
  Add checks to avoid calling texts that do not exist or provide default texts.
  
  
  
  Transport and Data Consistency:
  
  If the error appears after a transport or system copy, verify that texts were included in the transport.
  Re-import or maintain texts in the target system if missing.
  
  
  
  SAP Notes and Support:
  
  Search for SAP Notes related to message WZ618 for specific module-related fixes or patches.
  Sometimes, the error can be due to a known bug fixed in a support package.

  Debugging:  
  
  Use debugging to find where the text is being called and why it is missing.
  
  
  SAP Help and Documentation:  
  
  Refer to SAP Library or SAP Help Portal for module-specific text maintenance.
  
  
  Example:
  
  If the error occurs in material master, check if the long text for the material exists. If not, create it.
  
  
  Summary:
  
  Cause: System cannot find the required text object or text entry.
  Solution: Maintain the missing text in the relevant master data or document; verify text IDs; check program logic.
  Additional: Use debugging and SAP Notes for further troubleshooting.
