Billing Invoice Header Text

Former Member — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 14:48:21 GMT

Can anyone tell me how to get the R/3 table and field that holds the Header Text for Billing Invoices? To get the text, double click on a line in FBL5N, go to Environment - Document Environment - Original Document and then go to Goto - Header - Header Texts. I know invoice data is held on VBRP, VBRK, etc.. but I can only find item text (VBRP-ARKTX) but this is not what the user needs.

Thanks,

Conor

View the text and go to the full screen view (click on the 'Detail' button). Go To -> Header. This will give you the Text ID and Text Object which you'll need to pass to Function Module READ_TEXT.

You can check that a long text exists by selecting from table STXH, if there is a record in that table then the FM READ_TEXT will work, otherwise you'll get an error.

The long text will be returned to you in a table so either write out this table or loop at it to concatenate the text into a string field.
