language issue for sold to party in sales order

[Former Member]

Hi,

we have a sold to party A which is in china. the address for the same is maintained in local version and inetrnational version while creating customer master for A.

we aslo have a sold to party B, which is in Greece. the address for the same is maintained in local version and inetrnational version while creating customer master for B.

now we logon to sap and the language we select is Italian. we then go to t code Va01, then the first screen shows everything in Italian which is ok. we then enter order type and sales area. we then go to next screen and enter the sold to party A and we press enter. now the issue is the address against A is shown in chinese characters and not Latin ......... why so ??? we need the characters to be shown in latin and not chinese ?

if we make a sales order for sold to party B ( logged into sap in Italian language), then the address appears in Latin and not greece ..so this is ok !

but my question is why this is not happening for sold to party A ??? what settings i need to check in customer master and other settings. In fact how the language management works ??? and how we maintain the local and international version ? . can someone explain by taking my above example and also give possible solution to my question above for sold to party A

Hi ,

Just a hintu2026

Try extend customer B ( International version ) to customer A ( International Version ) sales area & company code and check the results.

And if it works fine then there mite be some master data issue.

Thanks,

Chinese? Are you sure it's chinese or is a matter of luck of Greek fonts and the system tries to display in Greek?
