  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:
  
  
  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.
  
  
  
  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.
  
  
  
  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.
  
  
  
  Programmatic Fix:
  
  If texts are copied via custom code or user exits, ensure that the TDFORMAT field is correctly transferred.
