Basic Data Texts, Inspection Texts, Internal Comments 

With the exception of the internal comment, the information contained in this info object is relevant to the material master for industry and to the article master for retail. Retail customers are requested to substitute article for material, and site for plant.

Use

In a material master record, you can store the following different kinds of text at client level, meaning that they are also valid at all lower organizational levels (such as plant and storage location). You can enter each of these texts in as many languages as you like, though only one text is allowed per language.

You can use this text as you like, for example, to store additional, general information on the material.

You can use this text to stipulate rules on the procedure to be followed for inspecting a material, or any special points to be observed.

You can use this text as you like, for example, to store any specific points to be taken into consideration with regard to the material.

These data screens do not support batch input. If you want to transfer data using a batch input program of your own, define your own screen sequence in Customizing for the Material Master in Define Structure of Data Screens for Each Screen Sequence and replace the subscreens as follows:

Integration

Apart from the data screen for each of the above texts, the following subscreens have been created for each text. You can include these subscreens on a data screen in the material master. Each subscreen indicates the number of languages in which the relevant text has been created and contains a pushbutton to access maintenance of that text. Except for the Basic data texts subscreen in the Basic Data view in the standard material master for industry, these subscreens remain hidden until you assign them to a data screen. You do this in Customizing for the Material Master in Define Structure of Data Screens for Each Screen Sequence.

If you have already created a text and want to use it to create a text in another language, choose Create text and specify the language in which you want to create the text, and the language of the text you want to use as a reference. You can then overwrite the reference text in the new language.
