Introduction When creating a new sales order, even without a customer entered in the sales order, I can see some text appear in the sales order header text. There is no standard text maintained as well. This behavior is wrong. This is known as “dummy text” in SAP terminology. If you want to know how to configure text determination in SAP, click here.
Correction Instructions You need to run below program to remove this dummy text from your system. Transaction: SE38 Program: RVTEXTE
Enter the program name under “Program” field and press Run the report:
Remove the “Test Run” flag and execute Run the report with Function “X”
Set “Yes” to below popup
Select “Yes” to the popup
Report Output:
Explanation: If this wrong text determination happens, that means most likely in the system there is this “Dummy Text”. These texts (in database table “STXH”) have a TDNAME = X*.
Normally during sales document creation the texts get dummy names (= X*) which are later replaced by the correct names (which contain the document number) when the document is saved.
For some reason (Unknown) these dummy texts are written to the database. Above mentioned program will not delete any valid texts from your documents. It only deletes the dummy text entries
