Creating Long Texts for Object Links  

Use

Sometimes additional link information is useful when you link a document with an R/3 object. You can maintain an information text for every link between document and R/3 object (for example, Customer DEBI-US51).

Integration

You can maintain the link text in either the document info record or in the master record for the object (for example, customer DEBI-US51).

The long text is maintained with the PC editor and saved in the text database.

Prerequisites

You can only create a long text for an object when you have activated the additional function in Customizing Document management. You make the required settings under Define document types → Define object links.

You must have linked the document with at least one R/3 object (for example, Customer DEBI-US51).

Activities

  1. In the Basic data screen choose the tab page for the R/3 object that has the additional functions activated, for example, customer
  2. Select the object (for example, customer DEBI-US51) that you want to classify the link for.
  3. Press (Long text to link).

You see the Long text object links screen.

  1. Enter your text and then save it.
  2. Go back and save the document.
