Use this screen to establish codes with text notes associated with them. You can associate these codes with individual parts, goods, and services in the Assign Standard Text subtasks of the Maintain Parts, Goods, or Services screens. Once you have associated the standard text code with a specific item, the text will automatically print on any purchase requisition, purchase order, or other specified document that includes that item. You should establish any text that will be used on more than one item or on more than one purchase order. You can then reference the text anywhere it is required. For example, you could use standard text to identify additional quality requirements, specific packaging requirements, or other information related to an item.
Set up this screen during initialization and maintain it whenever you add additional codes or make changes to existing codes.
Enter a standard text code containing up to 10 alphanumeric characters. The system will use this code to identify and reference the text throughout the Material Management system. This field is required.
