Use

The system can generate texts for each summarization object generated in a summarization run. You can also enter such texts manually. In the standard system, texts are automatically generated for the summarization objects during the data collection run. The texts are generated based on the designation of the field value.

Example

You summarize on plant 1000 (plant 1000 = Walldorf) The generated summarization objects receive the designation Walldorf.

The texts for summarization objects can also be entered manually. When you execute the data collection run, you choose whether you want the manually entered texts to be retained, or overwritten by the designation of the field value.

Note

If the system can’t find a text for a summarization object, it uses the value of the field.

Procedure

To enter manual texts for summarization objects:

  1. Go to the appropriate application menu in Cost Object Controlling.
  2. Choose Information System ® Tools ® Data Collection ® Summarization Hierarchy.
  3. Enter the summarization hierarchy in the field Hierarchy.
  4. Choose Edit ® Hierarchy.
  5. Position the cursor on the summarization object and choose Edit ® Maintain text.
  6. Enter a text and save your entries.

 

To specify which text is updated for summarization objects during the data collection run:

    1. Go to the appropriate application menu in Cost Object Controlling.
    2. Choose Information System ® Tools ® Data Collection ® Summarization Hierarchy.
    3. Enter the summarization hierarchy in the field Hierarchy.
    4. Choose Extras ® Standard texts.
    5. Choose how you want the system to handle texts during the data collection run:

No texts are generated from the field values during the data collection run. Only previously existing texts – whether generated in an earlier data collection run or entered manually – are displayed.

The system generates texts for the summarization objects using the designation of the field value. If any nodes already have texts – whether generated in an earlier data collection run or entered manually – the texts are not overwritten.

This is the standard setting. It is preferred over Generate texts (overwrite) for performance reasons.

The system generates texts for the summarization objects using the designation of the field value. Any existing texts (including texts entered manually) are overwritten.

    1. Execute the data collection run for your summarization hierarchy. The system generates texts for the summarization objects in accordance with the option you chose.
