  The SAP error message B!017, which states "No suitable key texts were found for the function modules specified," typically occurs when the system is unable to find the necessary key texts for the function modules that are being called. This can happen in various contexts, such as when using certain SAP transactions or when executing specific programs that rely on function modules.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Key Texts: The key texts that are required for the function modules may not be maintained in the system. This can happen if the texts were never created or if they were deleted.
