Package Assignment (SAP Library - Setting Up and Coordinating Translation (BC-DOC-TTL))

Package Assignment

Purpose

To enable translation of a package, you need to assign it to a translator in the system.

You should only assign the packages that are relevant for translation, before the start of productive translation and before worklists are created.

You can prevent unnecessary translation by locking the packages that are not relevant for translation.

You can lock packages for one specific target language, or you can lock it globally (for all target languages in the system).

The default status of a package is Open. You can leave packages as Open until you are certain whether to assign or lock them.

Prerequisites

In order to be able to assign and lock packages, your user profile must contain authorization object S_ADMI_FCD with value TRNL in the field System administration function.

You also need the following authorizations in your translator profile:

Activity	Translator Profile
Assigning packages	A5 (Package administration) with value 1 or higher
Locking and unlocking packages	A5 (Package administration) with value 2 or higher
Locking packages globally	A5 (Package administration) with value 3

Before package assignment is possible, the following activities must be carried out:

The target language for which you wish to assign packages has been created in the system. For more information, see Setting Up the Target Language.

The translators to whom you wish to assign the packages have been created in the system. For more information, see Creating Translators.

Process Flow

A large number of functions are available to help you with the task of assigning and locking packages.
