  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WZRE_SERVICES031 - Target document &1 item &2 text type &3 language &4: Text is different ?

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


    SAP Error Message:

    WZRE_SERVICES031
    Text: Target document &1 item &2 text type &3 language &4: Text is different


    Cause:

    This error occurs during document processing (often in logistics or financial document replication scenarios) when the system detects that the text in the target document for a specific item, text type, and language differs from the source or expected text.

    In other words, when trying to copy or synchronize texts (such as item descriptions, notes, or other text types) from one document to another, SAP finds a mismatch between the texts. This can happen in scenarios like:

    • Document flow copying (e.g., sales order to delivery, delivery to billing)
    • Text synchronization between related documents
    • Data replication or interface processing where texts are compared

    The system expects the text in the target document to be identical or consistent with the source, but it finds differences, triggering this warning or error.


    Solution:

    1. Check the Texts Manually:

      • Go to the target document and check the text for the specified item, text type, and language.
      • Compare it with the source document's text.
      • Identify what the differences are (e.g., spelling, formatting, additional characters).
    2. Decide on the Correct Text:

      • Determine which text is correct or should be retained.
      • If the target text is outdated or incorrect, update it to match the source.
      • If the target text is intentionally different, you may need to adjust the process or settings to allow differences.
    3. Adjust Customizing or Program Logic:

      • If this error occurs during a custom program or interface, check the logic that compares or copies texts.
      • You may need to modify the logic to allow differences or to update texts accordingly.
    4. Use SAP Notes or OSS:

      • Check SAP Notes for any known issues related to this message.
      • Sometimes, SAP provides patches or corrections if this is a known bug.
    5. Text Synchronization Settings:

      • In some modules, you can configure whether texts should be copied or synchronized strictly.
      • Review the customizing settings related to text copying in the relevant application (e.g., SD, MM, FI).

    Related Information:

    • Message Class: WZRE_SERVICES
    • Typical Modules: SD (Sales and Distribution), MM (Materials Management), FI (Financial Accounting), or any module where document text copying occurs.
    • Transaction Codes: VA03 (Display Sales Order), VL03N (Display Delivery), VF03 (Display Billing Document), or custom transactions related to document processing.
    • SAP Notes: Search for the message number or text in the SAP Support Portal for any updates or patches.
    • Debugging: If you have development access, you can debug the function module or BAdI where the text comparison happens to understand why the difference is flagged.

    Summary:

    • Cause: Text in the target document differs from the source for a given item, text type, and language.
    • Solution: Compare and align texts manually or adjust the process/settings to handle differences.
    • Check: SAP Notes, customizing, and program logic related to text copying.
