Text Determination in Delivery & Invoice

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have processed a sales order thru delivery and invoiced it.

We maintain "Customer Notes" Text type in text determination which is picked in sales Order - Delivery and in Invoice.

In sales document this Text type is not showing any language beside it. But in delivery and invoice it is showing a different language than the original language maintained in customer master. The language key which is the last field under text tab is showing the original language of the customer and the problem we are having is with the text type language.

From where this text type language is picked and why it is different than the original language ?

What shall I do If I don'g want to show language for text type as it is happening in sales order ?

Thank You in advance.

Hi Ganesh,

please see the detailed explanation;

1. Language proposal when creating a sales and distribution document

withtext in the overview screen:

a) As long as you do not enter a sold-to party, the language

proposal of the text in the overview screen is the logon

language.

b) If you enter a sold-to party, the system displays the language of

the sold-to party for the text in the overview screen.

If, however, a text exists in a language for the text type

displayed in the overview screen, the system displays this text.

If several languages exist, the system displays the language

which comes first in alphabetical order.

However, if a text in the language of the sold-to party exists

among these several languages, the system displays this text.

c) A text displayed in the overview screen is also displayed

directly when you branch to the header texts ('Goto' -> 'Header'

-> 'Texts').

2. Language proposal in the header texts ('Goto' -> 'Header' ->

'Texts')

a) If a text in a language exists for the upper header text type,

the system displays this directly during the branch to the text

screen.

If several languages exist for this upper text type, the system

displays the language which comes first in alphabetical order.

If a text in the language of the sold-to party exists among the

several languages, the system displays this text.

b) If no text exists yet for the upper text type, this text type is

ready for input during the branch to the text screen and the

default language is set to the language of the sold-to party.

c) When you create a text (double-click the text type or choose

'Create'), the system proposes the language of the sold-to party.

If you edit a text in a different language than that of the

sold-to party on the text screen, the default language for the

creation of a text of a different text type is the language of

the last text you edited.

If you double-click this text type again, the system returns the

language of the sold-to party as a proposal again.

That is, the creation of texts for different text types is

initially proposed in the language of the last text you edited,

and only if you double-click the text type again, the system

proposes the language of the sold-to party.

. Language proposal in the item texts ('Goto -> Item -> Texts')

a) See 2.a) correspondingly for item texts

b) See 2.b) correspondingly for item texts

c) See 2.c) correspondingly for item texts

d) When you edit texts on item level, you can branch from one item

to another directly.

When you branch to the text screen of the other item, the system

displaysits upper text type; if this contains texts, the system

displays the text which comes first in alphabetical order.

However, if a text in the language of the sold-to party exists in

the upper text type, the system displays this text.

If no text exists for this text type, the text type becomes ready

for input and has the language of the sold-to party as a language

proposal.

Kind regards,

Ramana
