Default Sales Order Header Text Keep Displaying

While creating a Sales Order, a default text is being displayed In Header -> Texts. We are not getting from where it’s getting displayed?

Answer:

First, run the text analysis (protocol symbol right of the display details symbol), it will list you where the text is coming from or tell you if it was found anywhere. If nothing was found, it might be a manual text insertion. 

The automatic lookup is configured in the customizing SD -> Basic functions -> Text -> Sales order -> Header, so you might want to look there what is configured for that text. 

Texts in the sales order can be copied from the material master or customer master.

Possible lookouts:

1. Check the Text in the material master. Path Tcode MM02 -> Sales Texts
2. Check the text in material master. Path Tcode XD02 -> Click on Extra ( on menu ) -> Texts.
3. Check customer material info record . Path VD52 -> Goto - >Texts

If texts in above master data matching with sales header text than its done through text determination.

IMG Path is:

SPRO -> sales and distribution -> basic function -> Text control -> Define and assign Text determination Procedure -> check box sales document header -> click on change -> click on text procedure assignment -> check out text procedure assigned to your sales header and check out that procedure.  Its text Id's and access sequence.

When the above text checking are fine, it could be due to the Dummy Text which you need to make used of the program: RVTEXTE
 

What RVTEXTE is and what does it do?

I've used this program before when the standard text config seemed OK, but it just wasn't working.

For my purposes, RVTEXTE will "clean up" any bogus stuff in the text control if you've done a lot of config and the system is somehow, internally, confused.

If you have access to OSS notes, please see note: 574580

Here is some further information on the report RVTEXTE:

"If the wrong text determination occurs randomly, then most likely that in your system there exists so called "dummy texts".  These texts (in database table STXH) have a TDNAME = X*.  Normally during sales document creation the texts get dummy names (= X*) which are later replaced by the correct names (which contain the document number) when the document is saved. For some (often unknown) reasons these dummy texts are written to the database and then cause
problems. To delete dummy texts you should run report RVTEXTE. This report is useful and it is always good to run it from time to time.

RVTEXTE does not delete valid texts from your documents or from the master records. It only deletes dummy or phantom text entries that should not be in your documents."

Please check if in your system you have this latest version. Please see OSS note 413096 for the latest versions.

To run the report:

1. Firstly, with flag X in the function Field. This will delete all phantom/dummy text appearing in sales orders.
X flag = delete all dummy texts.

2. Secondly, with flag G in the function field. This regenerates the text configuration making sure everything is active. 
G flag = cleanup of text procedures and access sequences in all clients.

Please note that the above procedure will not delete any real text for sales orders, only the phantom texts.
