Hi Team,

There is some strange behavior with material sales text in sales order.
Multiline texts are not editable, they appear in display mode.

Regards,

Hello,

The texts determined from material sales text have several lines.
If you determine the text in a sales document via text determination, this text is formatted and can only be edited in the 'Detail' view or in the SAPscript Editor.
In the text control, you can only edit texts with the Standard paragraph format '*'

If a text determined from the material master contains only one text line, this text can be directly edited in the text control of the sales document.
If the text determined from the material master contains several text lines, this text can only be edited in the SAPscript Editor.

In the standard system a multiline material master text is formatted with '*' in the first line and with '/' in all the other lines.
E.g.
* This material is having a text
/ because the material needs a sales text

For these multiline texts user receives a message:
Text is formatted -> Details
Message no. VX202
Diagnosis
You have formatted the text in a way that cannot be displayed by Text Edit Control.
Procedure
Maintain the text by choosing "Details" or double-clicking to go to the text editor.

See SAP Note 502941 - Texts from material master are formatted in sales document
