Text Management 

Use

With this function, you can do the following to texts belonging to deliveries:

●      Display

●      Change

●      Save

●      Delete

In addition, you can create and save new texts for a particular delivery.

Integration

SAP ERP sends a message (inbound delivery notification or outbound delivery request) to SAP Extended Warehouse Management (SAP EWM) to create a delivery. This message also contains the data (including existing texts) for this delivery.

You can create texts in external systems (such as SAP CRM) and send them with the document via SAP ERP to SAP EWM.

Prerequisites

You have made the Customizing settings for text management.

●      You have defined text types.

You have assigned one of the text types to the text objects (such as delivery header, delivery item) delivered by SAP. For example, assign the text type packing text to the delivery header.

For more information about defining text types, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for EWM under Cross-Process Settings → Delivery Processing → Text Management → Define Text Types for Delivery Document Header and Define Text Types for Delivery Document Item.

●      You have defined a text profile containing the following:

○       One or more access sequences

○       The assignment of text types to the text profile

○       The assignment of a document or item type to the text profile

For more information about defining text profiles, see the IMG for EWM under Cross-Process Settings → Delivery Processing → Text Management → Define Text Profiles with Access Sequences.

For more information about Customizing the document or item types for the goods receipt process, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for EWM under Goods Receipt Process → Manual Settings → Inbound Delivery → Define Document Types for Inbound Delivery Process or Define Item Types for Inbound Delivery Process.

For more information about Customizing the document or item types for the goods issue process, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for EWM under Goods Issue Process → Outbound Delivery → Manual Settings → Define Document Types for Outbound Delivery Process or Define Item Types for Outbound Delivery Process.

Features

Text management supports texts:

●      At header level

For example, you can include sales texts that indicate that the delivery A is for the key customer Smith and that the product must therefore be delivered as quickly as possible.

●      At item level

For example, you can create a packing text for a product that indicates to the warehouse employee that the product is fragile and that he/she must therefore always pack it in packing material 123.

In SAP EWM, you can display, change, or delete texts belonging to deliveries. Only there can you also create and save new texts directly.

For more information about the connection between documents and services, such as text management, see Delivery Processing.
