Proposal Pool: Where-Used List (SAP Library - Translation Tools for Translators (BC-DOC-TTL))

Proposal Pool: Where-Used List

Use

As of Release 4.6A, you can create a where-used list in the proposal pool to find all instances in which a specific translation is used in the R/3 System.

This enables you to locate objects in the translation system very quickly in cases where you need to correct a specific translation, for example if a customer reports a spelling mistake.

The where-used list provides you with a list of all objects in the system in which you can find the text that you are looking for. This list is prepared in a separate session, and looks exactly like a worklist.

This means that you can find and correct all instances of one text in your target language, without first having to locate all objects where this text occurs (which can sometimes be a very time-consuming process). It also means that you can be absolutely certain that you have corrected all instances of this text in the system.

Integration

You can access the where-used list as follows:

From transaction STMP.

For more information, see Creating a Where-Used List from the Proposal Pool.

From the short text editor

For more information, see Short Text Editor: Where-Used List

Prerequisites

In order to access the where-used list, the where-used list data must have been refreshed during the worklist evaluation run. This means the Write where-used list data indicator must have been set when the administrator created the evaluation run in transaction SLWB. Otherwise the error message No where-used list exists for the chosen language combination appears when you try to access the where-used list.

Features

The where-used list looks exactly the same as a worklist, except it only contains objects which match your selection criteria.

The status of the objects (number of new, modified and translated lines) is also displayed. As long as you have chosen the option Display line information in your personal Worklist Settings.

You can call up each object in sequence and make any necessary corrections.

Activities

After calling up an object from your where-used list, you can find each instance of the text you are looking for by choosing Find (the binoculars icon).

Here you will find that the text you are looking for is automatically entered. This means you can branch directly to the text line in this object where the text that you are looking for is used.
