Summary :
When creating documents in SAP, like sales orders, users may encounter unexplained header or item texts, known as "dummy" or "phantom" texts. These texts, often temporary and unclear in origin, are not present after document saving, suggesting incorrect initial assignments. Commonly affected transactions include VC01N, VA01, and VF01. Root cause analysis indicates these texts may originate from system modifications, and execute erroneously before proper renaming protocols align them with the correct documents. To rectify, users should run the RVTEXTE report with specified actions to delete or correct these texts, referencing SAP Note 963314 for detailed process guidance.
