Editing the Phrase Header

Prerequisites

You have carried out one of the following procedures and are on the header data screen for the phrase:

Procedure

  1. Enter the required data. You can change the phrase group, remark, and reference phrases in the phrase header of an existing phrase.

    Note the following:

    Phrase

    If you do not enter a key when creating the phrase, the SAP system assigns a key to the phrase after you have made the required entries and confirmed them.

    If you want to use the phrase as a characteristic value, you must enter the active phrase library. This is highlighted in the input help.

    Phrase code

    You can enter a phrase code when creating a phrase. Alternatively, you can create, edit, and translate phrase codes under Item.

    Phrase text

    Enter a phrase text of up to 132 characters. You can edit the phrase text under Item and create other long texts.

    User exit name

    For more information, see Customizing for Basic Data and Tools under Manage User Exits in the user exit category PHR_TEXT (replacing text variables of phrases).

    This user exit is also used by the SAP Dangerous Goods Management component (see Outputting Dangerous Goods Standard Texts).

    Reference phrases

    If you want to use a reference phrase text, set the OT (transfer original text) indicator.

  2. Confirm and save your entries.

Result

The SAP system completes the administration data.

The validity period is set depending on the change number specified. If you did not enter a change number, the validity period is unlimited.
