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

Phrase References

Use

Using phrase references, you create a link between phrases whose contents are similar or identical.

In general, you can only assign a phrase from a passive library (passive phrase) to a phrase from an active library (active phrase) as a phrase reference.

Features

The following rules apply when creating phrase references:

You can define one or several phrase references for one phrase.

The R/3 System can only evaluate single-level references.

Phrase references can not be defined manually between phrases in passive libraries. The links are created by the R/3 System when the phrases are imported, and can be exported and copied.

You can define phrase references between a passive and an active phrase as follows:

You create a phrase reference for an active phrase without setting the OT (Transfer original text) indicator.

The R/3 System continues to use the text of the active phrase for characteristic value assignment.

You create a phrase reference for an active phrase, and set the OT (Transfer original text) indicator.

The R/3 System overwrites the text of the active phrase with the text of the passive phrase, and copies the other language-dependent attributes to the active phrase. You use phrase history to display earlier valid versions.

Any languages contained in the active phrase but not in the passive are not deleted. These changes can be carried out using change numbers.

You use the Phrase Merge function to create a phrase from a passive phrase library in the active phrase library. The R/3 System retains the phrase origin via the phrase reference, and sets the OT (Transfer original text) indicator.

You can assign any number of phrase references to a phrase. However, you can only set the OT (Transfer original text) indicator once.
