GOTO SO10 to create your standard text, it will ask for standard text name, id and language...

Now, let me tell you the usage with your scenario... you have to display your form basing on the company code in their specific language...

for example: you have implemented SAP globally for an organisation... and now few countries want to display the text in there own language...

Now, to overcome this kind of requirment we maintain standard text in different langauges.... ex EN(english) , JP(japanese- text in japanese language)

Now inside your form you call this standard text basing on the company code... for example

IF company code = 'INDIA'

Display text in ENGLISH

IF compant code = 'Japan'

Display text in Japenese

Hi,

Its basically like we avoid hard codings in our program so as to facilitate the translation in multi-lingual environments.

In reports we create text elements for the same purpose.

where as in scripts if the hard coding is extending multiple lines, its a good practise to create a standard text and use the same in the script instead of hard coding the paragraph.

Hope I have answered the question.

If some texts needs to be printed in several scripts/smartforms

for eg Company name or address .

Its better to create the Standard Text with this text .

This Std Text then can be called instead of writing in the form .

This can be created in SO10 .

Hope this is OK.

Thanks Praveen

Hi,

There could be some text which you would like to print in a particular type of documents. e.g. terms & conditions in Purchase Order, you would like have on each & evry PO. So maintain those Terms & conditions via SO10 as standard text & then with the help of 'INCLUDE' command you can print them on each & every PO.
