Structure

A phrase library defines phrase assignment and origin.

You can only use phrases from the active phrase library for characteristic value assignment. The R/3 System enables you to import purchased or company-specific phrase libraries into the R/3 System, and to merge them with the active phrase library.

In the standard system, the back-up phrase library is delivered in which the R/3 System stores deleted phrases from the active phrase library.

A phrase group is specified for each library so that phrases can be classified more precisely. Each phrase belongs to exactly one phrase group.

A phrase code is a language-dependent abbreviation for a phrase (C for corrosive, for example).

You can enter one or more phrase references for an active phrase.

Integration

Phrase management is integrated in Phrase Set Mangement.
