Texts in SAP CRM – Text Determination

Texts in SAP CRM – Text Determination

There are three Elements to configuring Text in SAP CRM

• Text Types
• Text Determination Procedure
• Access Sequences

Text Types are names of the Text containers. SAP CRM supplies an exhaustive set of Text Types but new ones can be defined. These are also associated with “Objects” in CRM likeBusiness Partner Master Data and Transactions.

Text Determination Procedure is essentially a collection of Text Types. This procedure is assigned to CRM Objects. This way the Objects in CRM are associated with Text Types

For Each Text type in the Procedure, an Access Sequence is assigned.  Access sequence determines where to fetch the text that needs to be populated into a Text Type.  Thus, either User can input the text or it can be copied from other locations .

For Example, Access sequence for a Text type in a transaction can be set to fetch the text from Text Type in Business Partner Master Data.

Texts in SAP CRM – Introduction

Fields in the SAP CRM documents capture data required for Business Processes.

However, there are many instances, where text instructions need to be  added to clarify, pass on instructions and just some legal requirements. These are stored as TEXTs in SAP CRM.

TEXTS can be stored Centrally which may then be used to copy into documents or in Business Partner Master Data, Or Product Data. Some texts may just be Static Texts other Texts may need to be entered while document is being created and some texts also need to be copied from previous connected documents.

Text Determination Procedure configuration in SAP CRM deals with what texts are allowed in a transaction document and how and from where they will be populated.

What are Access Sequences in SAP CRM?

ACCESS SEQUENCE:

Access sequences are search strategies  defined for the system.

The strategy lays out searching sequence for best data that fits the situation through iteration.  Suppose the special prices have been set up in system for a Customer Group and a product combination , then system searches for this first. If it does not find it, then searches just the generic product price applicable for any customer.

Access Sequence are not just used in Pricing.  This strategy is employed everywhere where determination of best possible alternatives is required among many different sets of data. For example Output Determination Process that decides if a document needs to be printed, faxed or sent through EDI,  depending on specific customer Data, uses access sequence strategy.
