    SAP Error Message:

    WZRE_SERVICES017
    Text: Target document &1, item &2: text &3, language &4: TDFORMAT different


    Meaning / Cause:

    This error occurs during document processing (often in scenarios like invoice verification, document copying, or data transfer between documents) when the system detects that the text format (TDFORMAT) of a text line in the target document differs from the expected or source format.

    • TDFORMAT refers to the text format attribute of a text line in SAPscript or Smart Forms texts.
    • The system expects the text format of the target document's item text to match the source or predefined format.
    • If the formats differ, the system raises this warning/error to prevent inconsistencies in document printing or processing.

    When does it occur?

    • During document copying or reference (e.g., copying purchase order to invoice).
    • When texts are transferred between documents or items.
    • When text formats are checked for consistency in document processing.
    • Possibly during output processing or form printing if text formats are inconsistent.

    Solution / How to fix:

    1. Check Text Formats:

      • Review the text lines of the source and target documents/items.
      • Compare the TDFORMAT values (text format codes) for the relevant text lines.
    2. Align Text Formats:

      • Adjust the text format in the target document/item to match the source.
      • This can be done by editing the text in the document or by customizing the text format in the relevant transaction.
    3. Customizing / Configuration:

      • If this is a recurring issue, check the configuration of text types and formats in the relevant application area (e.g., MM texts, SD texts).
      • Ensure that the text formats allowed for the document types and items are consistent.
    4. Programmatic Fix:

      • If texts are copied via custom code or user exits, ensure that the TDFORMAT field is correctly transferred.
      • Adjust the code to handle or convert text formats if necessary.
    5. Consult SAP Notes:

      • Search for SAP Notes related to WZRE_SERVICES017 for any patches or known issues.

    Additional Information:

    • TDFORMAT is a field in text management that defines the format of the text line (e.g., normal, bold, italic).
    • Inconsistent text formats can cause printing or display issues.
    • This message is often a warning but can be set as an error depending on system settings.
    • The placeholders in the message:
      • &1 = Target document number
      • &2 = Item number in the document
