An exception is a specific translation that is only valid for a particular term in a particular context.
A length variant is not an exception. For more information, see
Length Variant.Use
You can create exceptions within an application. It is possible to create an exception without creating an application standard for this application.
However, an exception is only valid in the respective application and is never offered as the
best proposal.Integration
The graphic below shows that in the application PS, Activity is the application standard for Vorgang and is therefore the best proposal. In a particular context within PS, however, Vorgang needs to be translated as Transaction. For this reason, Transaction is defined as an exception in the application PS.
