The system can generate texts for each summarization object generated in a summarization run. You can also enter such texts manually. In the standard system, texts are automatically generated for the summarization objects during the data collection run. The texts are generated based on the designation of the field value.
Example
You summarize on plant 1000 (plant 1000 = Walldorf) The generated summarization objects receive the designation Walldorf .
The texts for summarization objects can also be entered manually. When you execute the data collection run, you choose whether you want the manually entered texts to be retained, or overwritten by the designation of the field value.
Note
If the system can’t find a text for a summarization object, it uses the value of the field.
To enter manual texts for summarization objects:
Go to the appropriate application menu in Cost Object Controlling .
Choose
Enter the summarization hierarchy in the field Hierarchy .
Choose
Position the cursor on the summarization object and choose
Enter a text and save your entries.
To specify which text is updated for summarization objects during the data collection run:
Go to the appropriate application menu in Cost Object Controlling .
Choose
Enter the summarization hierarchy in the field Hierarchy .
Choose
Choose how you want the system to handle texts during the data collection run:
Do not generate texts
No texts are generated from the field values during the data collection run. Only previously existing texts – whether generated in an earlier data collection run or entered manually – are displayed.
Generate texts (do not overwrite)
The system generates texts for the summarization objects using the designation of the field value. If any nodes already have texts – whether generated in an earlier data collection run or entered manually – the texts are not overwritten.
This is the standard setting. It is preferred over Generate texts (overwrite) for performance reasons.
Generate texts (overwrite)
The system generates texts for the summarization objects using the designation of the field value. Any existing texts (including texts entered manually) are overwritten.
Execute the data collection run for your summarization hierarchy. The system generates texts for the summarization objects in accordance with the option you chose.
