Text Determination
Text can be used to exchange the information between the documents with partner, between the users. We can create text for objects like customer sales document header and item, master, delivery document header and item, customer material info record, billing document header and item and condition records also.
Texts form a basic but essential need within document processing. Using text determination, you can automatically cause the system to copy data held in a text line from one text object to another—for example, from a customer master record to a sales document.
Text can be sales text, customer text, etc. SAP uses condition technique to determine text.
