Editing the Phrase Header (SAP Library

Editing the Phrase Header

Prerequisites

If you want to change phrases using a change number, you need to enter it on the initial phrase management screen.

Procedure

Choose one of the following steps:

If you want to create a phrase header, choose from the Edit Phrase: Initial Screen or from the hit list in phrase management.
If you want to change a selected phrase, choose from the hit list, the phrase set assignment, or the phrase items.

The relevant phrase header screen appears.

Note

You can also select a phrase in the hit list and use it as a copy template for a new phrase (see Copying Phrases).

Enter data as required. You can change the note, the phrase group, and reference phrases in the phrase header of an existing phrase.

Note the following:

Phrase	If you have not entered a key, the SAP System assigns a key to the phrase after you have made the required entries and confirmed them. If you want to use the phrase as a characteristic value, you must enter the active phrase library. This is highlighted in the input help.
Phrase code	You can enter a phrase code when creating a new phrase. Alternatively, you can create, edit, and translate phrase codes under Item.
Phrase text	Enter a phrase text of up to 132 characters. You can edit the phrase text under Item and create other long texts.
User exit name	For more information, see the documentation in Customizing for Product Safety for the IMG activity Manage User Exits under Further notes: User exits for phrase texts This user exit is also used by the SAP component Dangerous Goods Management (see Outputting Dangerous Goods Standard Texts).
Reference phrases	If you want to use a reference phrase text, set the OT (original text) indicator.

Confirm and save your entries.

Result

The SAP System completes the administration data.

The validity period is set depending on the change number specified. If no change number was entered, the validity period is unlimited.
