INTRODUCTION
This document is designed for use in the Akzo Nobel Amides plant of Akzo Nobel Polymer
Chemicals. It has as base the manual from K. Harding for the Genesis project in Gillingham.
It gives instructions HOW to carry out tasks/functions with the SAP system as it is implemented in
Kyunju Korea.
It does not contain the procedures how to perform tasks or functions. So it is only a help if you
already know what you are going to do.
This manual covers all PP-aspects as they are used in Kyungju, some FI-CO aspects and some FIPA aspects.

2.1.7

Maintaining Standard Texts (CA10)

Standard texts can be created in the system to reduce the need for re-keying common
operation descriptions or for copying a section of text into an operation. These standard texts
can be maintained via the configuration menus but there is also a standard menu path and
transaction to maintain them.
The menu path is:

325433844.doc

Page 7 of 8

Work instructions
Logistics -> Production -> Master data -> Routings -> Details -> Standard texts
There are buttons then for Create, Change, Delete or Display.
For the last three options enter the number of the standard text that you wish to change/display
or delete, prior to using required button.
For Create enter the new text number and then a description of the text in the adjacent field (is
not the text itself) prior to using the button.
To obtain a list of the current standard texts there is a match code facility. Access this by
clicking on the down arrow adjacent to the text number field and a list will be displayed.
Once on the text editor screen type the text that you want, remembering to use the Line button
at the end of each line, to avoid the text being rolled up into single lines. If you want to remove
line breaks then take out the '/' indicator to the left and use the Format button to reformat the
text up onto the previous line. Save the changes when you have finished typing.
