Description

Different material texts are output in the report shipping log or on final reports, cover sheets, and acknowledgements of receipt, depending on the shipping reason.

Effects on Customizing

To ensure that the material sales text can be output on the report when shipping is triggered from the R/3 component Sales and Distribution, you must allocate the text ID allocated to the text type Material sales text to the environment parameter SRE_DS_TDID_DELPOS (SAPscript ID for the text accompanying the delivery) or SRE_DS_TDID_ORDPOS (SAPscript ID for the text accompanying the order) in the IMG activity Specify environment parameters in Customizing for Product Safety (Environment Data).

Note:

The link between text IDs and text types Material sales text is made in Customizing for Sales and Distribution under Basic Functions -> Text Determination -> Define text types.

Flag the Item field for a delivery, for example, and choose Goto -> Text types. The Maintain: Text types Delivery item screen appears, in which text IDs are allocated to text types.

Changes in Procedure

You can trigger shipping manually, or it can be triggered from the R/3 component Sales and Distribution:

• Triggering shipping manually

If you maintained a basic data long text in the R/3 component Material Master , the first 132 characters of this text are output on the report.

If you have not maintained a basic data long text, the material short text is output instead.

• Triggering shipping from the R/3 component Sales and Distribution

If you maintained the material sales text, the R/3 System outputs the text on the report. If not, it uses the article short text.

Further Notes

Notes on maintaining material texts when triggering shipping manually

• In the material master, maintain the material short text in the Basic Data view.

• To maintain the basic data text, proceed as follows:

• In the Basic data view, choose Extras, and then choose Basic data text.

• To maintain long text, enter a language, position the cursor on the text, and choose Edit -> Long text -> Long text screen.

The editor for maintaining long texts appears.

Note: As no distribution channel is known for manual shipping, the SD long text that you can maintain in the material master in the Sales text view cannot be output on the report.

Notes on maintaining material texts for triggering shipping from the R/3 component Sales and Distribution.

The R/3 System adopts the material short text in the delivery as the article short text as standard. You can overwrite the article short text in the sales document at item level. To do this, choose Item ->Item details in the Overview: Quantities screen.

If you then choose Item -> Texts, the material sales text (see above) is displayed as the item text (among others) according to your Customizing settings. To maintain the long text for the material sales text, select the text, and choose Edit -> Long text (or double-click on the short text).

If you choose Goto -> Header from the long text, the text ID allocated to the material sales text is displayed, along with other information.
