Header texts refer to the entire document and can be found in the document header.

One important header text is the form header text which is automatically copied from the reference document or the customer master record in the standard version of the SAP R/3 System. It can also be entered manually in the sales and distribution document. As the form header text appears at the top of all sales and distribution output, you should reserve it for important information for the business partner.

Another important header text is the supplementary text. It appears, for example, at the bottom of the order confirmation in the standard version of the SAP R/3 System. Supplementary texts include contract agreements or liability exclusion clauses, which are to be referred to at the end of a form.
