  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WZRE_SERVICES015 - Target document &1, item &2: text &3 does not exist in language &4 ?

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


    SAP Error Message:

    WZRE_SERVICES015
    Text: Target document &1, item &2: text &3 does not exist in language &4


    Meaning / Cause:

    This error occurs when the system tries to access or display a text (description or long text) for a specific item in a target document, but the text in the requested language (&4) does not exist in the system.

    • &1 = Target document number
    • &2 = Item number in the document
    • &3 = Text ID or text type
    • &4 = Language key (e.g., EN, DE, FR)

    Typically, this happens during document processing, printing, or data transfer scenarios where multilingual texts are expected but missing.


    Common Causes:

    • The text for the specified item in the target document was never created or maintained in the requested language.
    • The text exists but only in a different language.
    • Language settings or user language preferences request a language version that is not maintained.
    • Data migration or interface issues where texts were not transferred properly.
    • Custom developments or enhancements that expect texts in multiple languages but do not handle missing texts gracefully.

    Solution / How to Fix:

    1. Check Text Maintenance:

      • Go to the target document in SAP (e.g., sales order, purchase order, invoice).
      • Navigate to the item &2 and check the texts maintained for that item.
      • Verify if the text &3 exists in the language &4.
      • If missing, maintain the text in the required language.
    2. Maintain Texts in Required Languages:

      • Use transaction codes like ME23N (Purchase Order), VA03 (Sales Order), or relevant transaction to display the document.
      • Use the "Texts" button or menu to add or edit texts.
      • Add the missing text in the language &4.
    3. Check Language Settings:

      • Verify user logon language and system language settings.
      • If the user language is different from the text language, consider maintaining texts in multiple languages or adjusting user language preferences.
    4. Data Migration / Interface Checks:

      • If the error occurs after data migration or interface posting, verify that texts were correctly transferred.
      • Re-run migration or interface programs with proper language handling.
    5. Custom Code / Enhancements:

      • Review any custom code or enhancements that handle document texts.
      • Add error handling or fallback logic if texts in the requested language are missing.

    Additional Information:

    • This message is informational but can cause issues in document processing or printing if the text is mandatory.
    • SAP standard texts often exist in multiple languages, but custom texts may not.
    • Use transaction SE91 to look up message class WZRE_SERVICES and see the exact message text and parameters.
    • If the text is not critical, consider implementing a fallback mechanism to display text in a default language.

    Summary:

    Aspect Details
    Error Text for target document item missing in requested language
    Cause Text not maintained in language &4
    Solution Maintain the missing text in the required language; check language settings and data transfer processes
    Transactions VA03, ME23N, SE91 (message lookup), text maintenance screens

    If you provide the specific document type or module (SD, MM, FI, etc.), I can give more tailored instructions.
