Maintaining Comments 

Choose Master data ® Comments ® Maintain to maintain comments manually for reports, fields in the field catalog (meaning characteristics and basic key figures), calculated key figures, master data (characteristic values), and report portfolio reports. Proceed as follows:

1. Select the object type you wish to maintain and choose Comments ® Maintain.
2. On the next screen, select an object and choose Comments ® Maintain.
3. Write your text and save it when you have finished.

To copy an existing comment to another object, select the object for which the text exists. Then choose Comments ® Select. Then select the object to which you wish the text to be copied and choose Comments ® Copy. The comment will then appear in both objects.

For an overview of all the existing comments for an object, choose Comments ® List . The comments for the object (insofar as they are available) are set and displayed beneath one another in all the languages supported by the system.

Choose Master data ® Comments ® Import file to import comments from a file into the system. For more information, see Importing a File.

Comments on transaction and plan data are maintained and stored differently. You can display and add comments when executing a report, when entering actual or plan data, or by choosing Transaction data ® Comments ® Comment list. Before you can maintain comments on transaction or plan data, you must create a comment table and select the characteristics upon whose transaction or plan data you wish to comment. Then, you must assign the table to the relevant aspect. You can find information about this in Customizing.
