local language in idoc

[cathy_liang]

Hello experts,

Except unicode setting, what else is required to configure or set if local language in idoc is needed? For example, customer master is maintained in both English and Thai. How to ensure customer data, like address, in Idoc is in Thai?

Would you plz share your experience? Thx.

How did you trigger your IDoc ?

[Sandra_Rossi]

Which IDoc type? Please provide detailed information.

What about the "correspondence language" set in the customer master?

What exact rules do you want to implement for selection of language?

[cathy_liang]

Define a new output type which is used to trigger idoc when invoice is saved.

Use function module IDOC_OUTPUT_INVOIC

Idoc type INVOIC

basic type INVOIC02

Correspondence language in customer master means the language under communication (screen shot below)? If yes, it is English but not the local language.

About the rules, I am not determine yet. Currently there are 2 kinds of customers. One is to use English, the other one is to use Thai. The customer master data are maintained in the same way. May I know your suggestions?

You will need to ensure that the system is configured to use the appropriate language codes. This can be done in the system settings or in the customizing settings. Additionally, you may need to set up language-specific field labels and select language-specific data sources in the mapping configuration. Finally, you will need to ensure that the output of the IDocs correctly reflects the language by including the appropriate language codes in the headers and/or segments.

Thanks for your advice.

Would you please provide further information? For example, how to configure language codes? How to set up language-specific field labels?

cathy.liang1. To configure language codes in SAP S4, go to the SPRO transaction code and navigate to the IMG path “Globalization Settings -> Languages -> Maintain Language Code”.

2. To set up language-specific field labels, navigate to the IMG path “Globalization Settings -> Languages -> Maintain Field Labels in Languages”. In this menu, you can enter different field labels for each language code.
