Phrase Management (SAP Library - Product Safety (EHS-SAF))

Phrase Management

Purpose

Phrase management supports the central management and translation of text modules called Phrases.

You can use phrases carry out the following language-independent activities:

To record substance characteristic data: first aid measures, or r and s records, for example ( See also: Substance Characteristic Value Assignment)

Output texts on substance reports ( See also: Report Generation

Phrases are managed in phrase libraries, and one library is selected for data maintenance. You can update active phrases after importing a new version of the passive library by creating phrase references from the passive phrases to phrases in the active phrase library. In addition, the R/3 System enables you to compose the active library from phrases from several different passive libraries.

Integration

The R/3 component Interfaces supports phrase import and export in productive systems. This means that phrases can be translated outside the R/3 System, for example.
