Documentation

Definition

Indicator that controls whether or whether not the Configurable Sales UI is run with formatted SAPscript texts.

Use

The Configurable Sales UI provides, among others, the possibility to maintain SAPscript texts for the object types sales document header and sales document item.

  • In the default configuration, the current indicator is SPACE and the non-formatted text edit control is therefore used in the Configurable Sales UI application.
  • If you set the current indicator to X, the Configurable Sales UI application uses the formatted SAP Text Edit Control.

Dependencies

Check the dependencies before you switch this indicator on or off.

Non-formatted SAP Text Edit Control

  • Advantages:

    The SAPscript text maintained within this control is also plainly readable in the classic SAP dynpros for SAPGUI. This is especially true for the classic VA transactions.

  • Disadvantages:

    In the Configurable Sales UI, the text edit control does not provide any formatting options.

    Formatted SAPscript texts cannot be changed within the Configurable Sales UI text edit control.

    Uploaded texts from data migration, for example, might not be able to be changed in the Configurable Sales UI text edit control.

Formatted SAP Text Edit Control

  • Advantages:

    In the Configurable Sales UI, the text edit control provides formatting options.

    Formatted SAPscript texts from the classic VA transactions (or, for example, from data migration) can be changed within the Configurable Sales UI. Doing so, however, leads to the disadvantages described below.

  • Disadvantages:

    The SAPScript text maintained within this control is also readable in the classic SAP dynpros for SAPGUI, but it contains many HTML-like control statements that make it more difficult to read.
    You can adapt the text in the classic SAPGUI control, but in this case, the format information for the formatted text edit control in the Configurable Sales UI gets lost.

Switch between the text edit controls at client lifetime

  • Toggling this indicator is possible at any point in time.
  • Take into account the relevant disadvantages when changing this indicator.

Rules of thumb

  • Leave this indicator inactive (SPACE) if you plan to use the Configurable Sales UI together with the classic VA transactions (such as VA01) for the same set of sales application data, and if text processing will be done in both UI clients.
  • Set this indicator to active (X) if you plan to solely use the Configurable Sales UI as regards text processing for a set of sales application data and if you want to make use of the advantages described above.
  • Try to avoid switching this indicator during client lifetime unless you first make sure that the resulting disadvantages described above can be ignored, can be accepted, or do not apply.
