Texts for the Document Header
Item Texts – Material Purchase Order Text
Texts for Purchase Order Items
In the standard SAP system, only one of the following material purchase order texts is output:
- With print sequence 1 and printing priority 1, the material PO text from the PO item (object EKPO) is output (as the first long text for the PO item), provided it exists in the PO item.
- With print sequence 1 and printing priority 2, the PO text from the material master record (object MATERIAL) is only output (as the first long text for the PO item) if no material PO text exists in the PO item (the text was not adopted), but if a PO text was entered in the material master record.
Hint
If you assign the same print sequence and enter the corresponding long texts for different header text types, only the first available text is output.
Similarly, only the first available item text is output from all the text types with the same print sequence and the same printing priority.
In addition, you can define the texts that are output in the change messages when a field changes and you can also define the headings for the individual output operations and documents.
Form for Purchasing DocumentsThe form defines the layout of the message.
You can adjust the form using SAPscript functions, SMARTFORMS or PDF forms. You should not change the standard forms. Instead, create your own forms and assign them in Customizing. You can assign the form and the print program in Customizing to define which messages are output.
