Displaying the Long Text  

Use

The time sheet allows you to enter a long text for a data record, if required.

An activity could not be completed in the allotted time, since the required materials were not delivered as scheduled. You have documented these circumstances.

Long texts can be accessed when entering and displaying time sheet data, and can be queried in reporting.

Note that the long texts are not the same as the short message texts that can be entered within the approval procedure as information for the person approving the data.

The long texts are not transferred to the other SAP applications. They are not available, for example, as additional information on a confirmation in a Logistics application.

If there is a predecessor to a data record, the long text entered for the predecessor is automatically assigned to the new record. A predecessor is a record that is created when you make changes to a record that has already been approved.

Procedure

  1. Call the data entry screen for the time sheet.
  2. Select the record for which you want to display the long text.
  3. Choose Long text.

    4. A dialog box displaying the relevant text appears.

  4. Exit the text display by choosing Back.

The data entry view for the time sheet reappears.
