User-Defined Texts (SAP Library - Product Safety (EHS-SAF))

User-Defined Texts

Use

You can enter any user-defined texts for substance characteristic values, thus giving a closer description of the values.

When importing substance data, characteristics can be assigned phrases that do not yet exist in the R/3 System. In order not to lose the phrases, you can create them as characteristic-dependent user-defined texts.

Prerequisites

To define a characteristic-independent user-defined text,

you must have flagged user-defined text categories as characteristic-dependent in Customizing for Product Safety.

In Customizing for Product Safety, you can also specify how many user-defined texts can be allocated to a characteristic per user-defined text category. The R/3 System checks this when you allocate user-defined texts to characteristics.

You must have allocated the required characteristic-dependent user-defined text category together with a phrase set to a particular characteristic for a substance characteristic category. You do this in phrase set - characteristic allocation

Within a characteristic category, a characteristic-dependent user-defined text category may be allocated to a characteristic once only. You can allocate another characteristic-dependent user-defined text category to another characteristic from the same substance characteristic category.

Features

Long Text Editor

You can use the R/3 Editor to enter texts of any length.

Characteristic-Dependent User-Defined Texts

The R/3 Product Safety component enables you to allocate user-defined texts to a particular characteristic of a substance characteristic category.

You assign the characteristic in question with a phrase, for example see user-defined text, and, using the function user-defined text, create a text in the relevant characteristic-dependent user-defined text category.
