Entering Language-Specific Report Header Information

Use

On the Create Report: Header screen, you can enter a report description that is specific to a language.

Example

Suppose you define a report in English, but you also want the report to be used by your German subsidiary. You use the Maintenance lang. function to set the language for entering report information (such as the report title) that is specific to the language of the foreign subsidiary.

You can enter language-specific report text for the report description (Create Report: Header screen) and the report texts (Create Report: Texts screen). Valid languages for report texts are defined in Customizing. For more information, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Special Purpose Ledger under Information System ® Define Report Writer Languages.

Procedure

Choose Extras ® Maintenance lang.
In the dialog box, select the language you want to maintain for the report.

Choose

This graphic is explained in the accompanying text

Choose.

You can now enter a report description on the Create Report: Header screen that is specific to the report.

Note

When you use the Maintenance lang. function and switch to a new language, the information you enter for the report continues to be displayed in that language until you switch back to your first language.

Example

For example, if you switch to language DE (German) from EN (English) and then define report texts, the information you enter will be displayed in German until you switch back to English. SAP recommends that you first define and save a report in one language before switching to another language.
