Long text field in the sales order header

Axel Angeli, Logosworld

Published: 29 Jan 2004

I have developed a program to upload complex data and create sales orders (VA01) from this data. Now a long text field in the sales order header also needs to be filled. There are segments available in the IDoc (orders05), but they do not do the job. I have debugged extensively,but found no solution. If you have a solution, please let me know.
I do not see where the problem is indeed, your texts are probably non- standard. Use one of the user exits where you collect the text data into an internal table and post them with function SAVE_TEXT.
