texts in vendors

[Former Member]

In transaction XK01 - Create vendor, where do we maintain the free texts

I used the "Extras--> Texts" option in Menu bar and then tried to extract it using READ_TEXT function module. but it is not extracting any data. Is there any other means of maintaining texts.

Esp I want to know how we come to know which text-id a particular texts belongs.

I have text-id Z003 but that has been given in the requirements only.

How will i come to know to which text type does it belongs to

eg: Z002 is for Invoices texts etc. ?

Please provide suitable solutions

After you have gone to Extras->Texts and displayed a specific text, use the menu path Goto->Header and you will see the full parameter list that identifies the text - you can use this to call READ_TEXT.

p.s. Please search the forum before posting as this question has been asked and answered countless times before.

Sorry for bothering, but i could not find the relevant results in the forum.

Moreover, there is no such option...Headers under Goto ???

I find it very hard to believe you couldn't find information about READ_TEXT and how to find text ID's but nevermind...

Once you choose a text to display, there should be an option to view it's headers. I've just checked and regardless of which editor you are using to display the text you should always have the Goto->Header option. Try doing it via transaction XK03 with an already existing vendor.

Shreya,

go to XK02

select any check box for ex address in GENERAL DATA and press enter

now choose EXTRAS>>TEXTS from the menu bar

enter some text and double click on the DESCRIPTION ie Accounting Note

it will take you to script text editor

here you choose GOTO>>HEADER to check the TEXT ID and TEXT OBJECT which needs to be passed on to the READ_TEXT function module.

TEXT ID and TEXT OBJECT differs with General Data/Company Code data/Purchasing Org data.

Shreya,

Just have a look at table STXH where in you can find all the text ids.
