SAP Note 12633 - VOTX: Text det. procedure in Custom. does not work

Symptom:

The text determination procedure of the Customizing function 'Text determination' (VOTX) is not copied from the SD document. Texts that do not exist, e.g. 'Text 1 for customer' (Text ID T01), are displayed.

Cause and prerequisites

Error in the text determnation transaction VOTX.

Solution
To solve the problem, report RVTEXTE (SE38) is necessary in
addition to the Customizing function 'Text determination' (VOTX).

The following cases can be distinguished:

Case 1: Text ID xx of procedure yy still exists and was already used,
which means a text was already entered.

--> Delete the texts using RVTEXTE
--> Delete text ID xx in procedure yy using VOTX

Ex.: --> Delete text Id T01 using RVTEXTE.
OBJECT VBBK
ID T01
LANGUAGE
NAME
USER
ACTION D (A = Display
D = Delete)

--> Delete text ID xx in procedure yy using VOTX


Case 2: Text ID xx of procedure yy does not exist, only access
sequences exist.
Report RVTEXTE however, lists texts for this text ID.

--> Delete the texts using RVTEXTE
--> Delete text ID xx in procedure xx using VOTX:
1. Include text ID xx again in procedure yy
2. Generate the access sequences
3. Debug the access sequences using RVTEXTE
4. Delete text ID xx in procedure yy
( 5. Debug the access sequences using RVTEXTE
... to make sure ...)

ATTENTION: Points 3.,4. and 5. have to be carried out individually (!)
for each incorrect text ID!

Ex.: --> Correct the access sequences using RVTEXTE.
OBJECT VBBK
ID *
LANGUAGE
NAME
USER
ACTION Y (Y = Debugging of the
access sequences)


Case 3: Text ID xx of procedure yy exists, but not texts can be
found for this text ID using RVTEXTE.

--> Delete text ID xx in procedure yy using VOTX:
1. Include text ID xx in procedure yy again
2. Generate the access sequences
3. Debug the access sequences using RVTEXTE
4. Delete text ID xx in procedure yy
( 5. Debug the access sequences using RVTEXTE
... to make sure ...)

ATTENTION: Points 3.,4. and 5. have to be carried out individually for
each incorrect text ID!

Exp.: --> Debug the access sequences using RVTEXTE.
OBJECT VBBK
ID *
LANGUAGE
NAME
USER
ACTION Y (Y = Debugging of the
access sequences)

You can use table TTXER (SE16) to check the actions carried out.

As of Release 3.0C the following applies in addition:
=====================================================
Run RVTEXTE with ACTION = Y - the access sequences will be debugged
for ALL clients.
NOTE: If you choose ACTION = Y, the other parameters for this program
run are irrelevant.
