Documentation

Definition

Determines whether a text from a master record or another document can be adopted in a document and processed further in that document.

Use

You assign the "fixed" indicator to a text to specify whether:

  • The text can be fixed (indicator "*")
    A text with the status "*" is then displayed in the document and can be adopted in the document if:
    • You change the text and save the document
    • You select the text and adopt it (Item -> Texts -> Adopt text)
      Until you adopt the text, changes in the master record will also be adopted in the text.
  • The text is fixed (indicator " ")
    The text is copied into the document. Changes to the document text do not have any effect on the original text and changes to the original text have no effect on the document text.
  • The text is not fixed (indicator "N")
    The text is only displayed in the document (i.e. it cannot be changed or printed).

You specify the "fixed" indicator for each purchasing document in Customizing for Purchasing under Text Types and Copying Rules for Header Texts and Text Types and Copying Rules for Item Texts.

Procedure

Examples

You wish to adopt a delivery text from a requisition (status "*") in a purchase order. If you select and adopt the text, it acquires the status " " and can be printed.

Dependencies

In Customizing for Purchasing under Messages -> Texts for Messages, you can specify for each purchasing document the sequence and priority in which the texts of a document are to be printed.
