Selecting Countries/Regions in SAPterm
Purpose
Set the permitted values for creating term entries specific to a country/region.
Example
The adjustment by fifteenths is a customary rental fee increase in Austria. The English term is defined as valid only for Austria. The German term (Fünfzehntelanpassung) is also defined as valid only for Austria because other German-speaking countries/regions do not use this term.- Available countries/regions installed in the SAPterm system
Making a country/region available in SAPterm also requires defining the target languages permitted for term entries defined as country/region-specific. This ensures the terms remain in the translation workflows of only the relevant languages.
Prerequisites
The function is restricted to users with SAPterm administrator authorization.
