Hi Sankalp,

Text determination is actually used to copy a TEXT

1) Either from master records (customer &material master) to the sales transactions.

2).Between the sales transactions (sales order to delivery)

Example

If u want to maintain a quote/information(regarding the behoviour)of customer or material, u can maintain in the respective masters and it will be further passed to the sales order. while order entry processing, that info will be used by the order entering person or managers to take a decision.

Ex: For materials -- dangerous goods, fragile goods like that

For customers -- Good customers

Text determination used to give specific data manually, which is used for further information purpose.

For this you can create fields also make some of them as cumpolsory fields. These are maintained in header level.

For example:

This can be used in any kind of business scenarios, when the end user wants to write about Technical details sent by the customer he can enter those technical details in header texts, price part, transport details, Advance bank gurantee details, Warranty, insurance, Penalty if not paid in time.

Also these fields can be attached to out put determination on order output or inovice output with the help of ABAPER using Smart forms, so that all this data will be available on the invoices sent to customer.

For customization you have to goto

SPRO>IMG>SD>Basic functions>Text determination.

Here you can maintain seperately for header level , item level, for sales documents, delivery, billing etc...

New features in text determination

Description

The following new features are available in Cutomizing for text determination:

• The accounting texts are noe maintained in Customizing for accounts receivable accounting:

• Text types can now also be maintained for condition records.

For further information, see:

Long texts in condition records .

• Text types can now be maintained for info records.

• Controlling for text dialog boxes and mandatory texts is now carried out separately.

Previously, you specified whether or not a text was mandatory or was displayed upon copying by entering an 'X' or a 'Y' in field TTXS-TXPFL. These options are now selected using checkboxes (supplied with F1 help). If you try to check both boxes (forbidden), the system automatically resets the 'display' checkbox and issues a message.

• Text dialog box with Text Edit Control

In Customizing, you can determine whether a determined text is displayed in a dialog box when an order is created. Previously, this text had a fixed length (38 characters) and limited to two lines. Now, the determined text is displayed in a screen which varies to accommodate the size of the text from 38 - 72 characters wide and 1-10 lines long. Users that have access to a Windows 32 presentation server (permitting wraparound) can display the text using Text Edit Control, removing all length restrictions.

You can carry out you own controls in the following customer exit:

EXIT_SAPLV45T_001

In Include ZX45TU01, you can control

o whether texts are only displayed in the logon language,

o whether customer master texts (text object KNA1) are displayed in the 'old' style (i.e. they appear in a step loop screen and appear only with a width of 72 characters and a length of 12 lines, rather than being variable in size),

o whether all other texts appear with text control (depending on the end user system) but with no maintenance option.

• Data transfer

The manual data transfer connection in the initial screen (screen 100) of transaction VOTX listed text determination procedures, text types and access sequences for transfer, but not text procedure use. This used to be carried out in a different transaction. This has been changed: Now, all settings that can be maintained in transactions VOTX are also transferred. When you select tranfer function, you can also restrict the transfer objects in the subsequent dialog box, if required:

o Text types and text determination procedures

o Access sequences

o Text determination procedure assignments

• New button for text procedure use

Previously, you could only select text determination use from the initial screen via the menu (menu path: Environment -> Text procedure use). Now, a new button 'text procedure use' has been added in the initial screen.

• Text in the 'Sales' overview screen

In the text procedure use screen for the sales document header, you can control whether a given text is to appear in the 'Sales' overview of the sales order for maintenance in Text Edit Control.

For further informaiton, see Release Note: Text in the overview screen for sales documents.

• Better user guide in Customizing

The user guide for the initial screen of transaction VOTX for maintaining text types, suggests that sales document headers/items, delivery headers/items, billing document headers/items all have their own text objects. This is not true. The text types for the sales document header can also appear in the delivery header and the billing header. The text types for the sales document item are also those for the delivery item and billing item. The user guide has been changed to reflect this:

o In text type maintenance for the sales document header, you can first view all text types that are maintained in this client in a text procedure for the sales document header. You also see all the text types for text object VBBK that do not yet belong to any text procedure. The same process applies to the delivery and the billing document.

o You can press the button 'All', to switch to the usual view (i.e., all text types for text object VBBK are displayed. From there, you can return by pressing the 'Only sales document' button.

o In the overview for all text types for a text object of a sale document (order, delivery, billing doc., each with header or item), you have an overview of the text type use in the text procedures for the current client. You can then see at a glance whether the text type is used in the order, the delivery or billing documents.

Please Reward If Really Helpful,
