Hi all,

Recently we enabled our ECC6 system to unicode compatible. And the problem we are facing is when we login by using the language option 'EN', in SPRO the description related to standard accounting document types(OBA7) is appearing properly but when I login by using the language option 'ES'(Spanish) the descriptions are not coming for the standard accounting document types(OBA7). What could be the reason?? Kindly suggest me.

Regards,

Steve.

Hi Steve,

this has nothing to do with the Unicode conversion. It is a question of language handling.

Usually there are different ways how abap systems handle customer specific texts, which are missing in the logon language.

For customizing texts, the system typically shows blank fields.

Your options are the following:

1) Translate the texts in the according customizing transaction (either via logon in ES or via GoTo --> translate)

2) If you prefer to have the texts in English (also with logon in ES), then you can supplement the customizing table containing the texts. In order to obtain this, you have to find out the table name and then you can supplement it in transaction smlt (via language > special actions > supplementaion (expert)).

For background info plaese also have a look at SAP note 1156507.
