Overview
Mostly, we tend to use text symbols for the following Business Scenarios:
The text of message or email content is stored in text symbols. The body of the email is coded using the text
symbols or SO10 objects.
Advantage is:
Text Symbols
SO10
Using transaction SO10, we can create objects to maintain texts.
Unlike text symbols, SO10 objects do not have a maximum length defined. Hence it is possible to
maintain text in form of paragraphs too.
When sending emails programmatically, there is a need to create the email content. The email
content must be language independent. Hence it is recommended to avoid using hard coding in the
code.
Based on the login language the email must be sent in the same language.
For example:
Dear Supplier – English
Sehr geehrter Lieferant – German
Go to transaction SO10. Enter text name and language. Maintain Text in German
.
Enter Email Text and Save it
Thus we have created the SO10 objects. Thus the entire email content can be maintained here.
Note: When you save it, no transport request is created. We have to create a Transport request for it
separately. This method is covered in later sections.
采购订单是在系统中创建。请采取必要行动
谢意和慰问,
供应商门户
A Transport request number is generated- Main Request and it contains a sub task.
Select Development/Correction
Now, double click on Main Request, Add the entry as given below.
Summary
Thus, we have understood the SO10 transaction. The benefits of using the SO10 objects and also the
process of creating transport requests for it.
