Text determination:

A text type is the classification for various user-defined texts in master records or documents.
If a text ID is created for multiple text objects, it will be pulled through the various objects (for
example, sales order à delivery note).
Text can be proposed in the documents automatically from below mentioned points by a text
procedure:

 customer master
 material master
 one SD document into another (e.g., from sales order to delivery) at either header or item
level

In this document, I will explain how to configure the Text in Sales & Distribution Module.
 
Text can be maintained at customer master level, material level, sales order header level & item
level. Delivery header & item level and billing document header & item level

For ex: in delivery from factory a truck is going out. that time companies need truck no , driver
number and from which gate is going out and who is the security person this information is required.
That time it will not be available in Delivery document.
