Phrase Set-to-Attribute Assignment (SAP Library

Phrase Set-to-Attribute Assignment

Use

This function enables you to assign a phrase set to a characteristic of a value assignment type or a field in the SAP EH&S components (such as Dangerous Goods Management or Waste Management). This makes the phrases in the phrase set available as a value set for assigning values to characteristics or fields.

You can also assign characteristics to a user-defined text type. This enables you to assign user-defined texts as values to this characteristic in the relevant user-defined text type.

Prerequisites

You have created the phrase sets (see Phrase Set Editing).

Before assigning phrase sets to new characteristics or fields, you must have executed the Activate phrase assignment to characteristic function in master data matchup.

For Characteristics

The characteristics to which you want to assign phrase sets must be of data type CHAR30 and belong to a value assignment type in the property tree (see Value Assignment Types and Characteristics Setup).

To ensure that the SAP System updates the display of characteristics to which phrase sets can be assigned, you have executed one of the following functions:

The Match up value assignment type and characteristic function in master data matchup

The Match up characteristics function in phrase set-attribute assignment

Note

When you set up your system, you can execute the IMG activity Generate Standard Phrase Sets. The system then creates a phrase set for each characteristic of the data type CHAR30, which has the same key as the corresponding characteristic.

To assign user-defined text types, you define in Customizing for Product Safety which user-defined text types may be assigned to a characteristic.

For Fields

The fields in the SAP EH&S components are only available for assigning phrase sets once you have executed the Activate phrase assignment to fields function in master data matchup. The function writes the relevant fields to the table TCG66.

Note

The dangerous goods management fields to which phrase sets can be assigned are programmed especially for this purpose.

Features

You can choose the value assignment type or table for the field using the property tree:

All characteristics to which you can assign phrase sets or user-defined text types are listed for the selected value assignment type.
For a selected table, all fields are listed to which you can assign a phrase set.
