Structure

A phrase library defines phrase assignment and origin.

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

In the standard system, the back-up phrase library is delivered in which the SAP 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).

You can enter any number of phrase references for an active phrase and thus create a link to phrases in passive phrase libraries.

Integration

Phrase management is integrated with phrase set management.
