Texts in the Delivery Document 6.4
Figure 6.19 Text Determination Log
If you wish to view all of the text types that are created in the SAP system for delivery
documents, start Transaction VOTXN (VOTX in some older releases). Beneath
Delivery, select Header or Item and then click the button. The screen
displays all of the text types set in the SAP system for the selected object (delivery
header or item).
Because you will not use all of the text types in your company and might even
need a couple additional types that are not created here, you can define additional
texts with Customizing. These text IDs start with a “Z,” so that you can immediately
recognize if they involve a standard SAP text type or a text type created specifically
to meet your requirements.
The texts that you need for a specific text type are combined in a text determination
procedure, which is also given an identification number. A delivery type or an
item type is assigned to the procedure number. The assignment defines which text
types are permitted for a delivery type and item type.
In an additional step, you must define the sources of the various types of texts in
the SAP system. That means that a clerk enters a loading note in the sales order
during acceptance of a sales order, and that the note must automatically appear in
the delivery document. The origin of the text must therefore be clarified.
The origin of individual text types is defined with an access sequence, which
defines which text is taken from a given location. You can store rules here about
which text has priority. For example, take item texts from the sales texts in the
material master and from the customer info record for the same item.
