   Note

   • Text ID: The Text ID is an identifier that differentiates between various types of texts/comments. In the SAP system, you can find more than one text/comment field at the header and the line item level. Each of these text/comment fields is identified by a unique Text ID.
   • If you want to have a different value in PROD Environment, uncheck the box Use same values.
