Hi,

Header Text : This is used to bring the customer related texts like for example, Shipping Instructions for this Customer should be direct etc.

For this we can have separate Text IDs : Shipping Instructions.

Item Text : This is normally used to maintain long texts related to Material.

ex. : This material has to be shipped within 7 days etc...

At the item level we maintain separate Text IDs.: Special Shipping Instructions

These texts can be maintained directly in the order or can be copied from the Customer and Material Masters to the Sales Order.

The Configuration for these like creation of Text IDs, Text Procedure, Access Sequence and Text Procedure Determination can be seen in Transaction Code VOTXN.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Krishna.

Hi

Wrt material sales text: In case of a scenario wherein you want to transfer text from a preceding document to an invoice, you can use the header note 1 for changing the header text on the invoice.

And you would use the material sales text to either transfer information or change text information at the item level.

Ashish,

Texts are used for Passing the Information from One Document to another.

So we have many heads for each text types

for e.g

We want to delivery details or precation We have one text

DELIVERY DETAILS

some information to be passed on INCOTERMS

then we have INCOTERMS text type created.
