Enter and edit your text on the text overview screen. If the text is too long, or you wish to format it, switch to the long text screen.

Formatting Text

When text is outputted, it is formatted automatically. The format depends on type of purchasing form (layout set) chosen (purchase order, order acknowledgment, etc.).

The purchasing form contains predefined paragraph formats, which determine the indentation and fonts for text, for example. If an asterisk (*) appears on the left in the text editor, the standard paragraph format from the form applies. You can also apply your own paragraph formatting to texts.

For more information, refer to the Basis documentation under BC - Word Processing with the SAPscript Editor:

See Formatting Text for the line editor.

See Editing Text for the PC editor.
