 Extended Texts


2025/12/22 • 7 min. to read
Extended texts are individually defined texts that can be automatically inserted into documents. You create extended texts on the Standard Text Codes page, which you can easily find via search. Extended texts can be configured for different document types and conditions. For example, you can create beginning texts for sales quotes or ending texts for invoices. For more information, see Setup, Extended Texts. The texts can be flexibly designed: Use formatting such as bold, italic, colors, or individual fonts and font sizes. For more information, see Advanced Features, Formatting.

Practical tips for key fields

Language Code and All Languages

  • Leave Language Code empty and enable All Languages for language-independent texts
  • Create multiple extended texts with the same code but different language codes for multilingual texts
  • The system automatically selects the appropriate text based on the customer/vendor language code

Sorting Sequence

  • Use steps of 10 (10, 20, 30, ...) to insert texts later between existing ones
  • Lower values appear first on the document
  • If the sorting sequence is the same, the Text No. (assigned automatically) decides the order

Periods with Start and End Date

  • Ideal for seasonal notes, time-limited promotions, or year-end changes
  • Leave both fields empty for texts that are always valid
  • The document date (not the posting date!) is used for validation

Enable document types

  • Enable only the document types on which the text should appear
  • To carry over to subsequent documents (e.g., Quote → Order → Invoice), enable all relevant document types
  • FastTabs are grouped by area: Sales, Purchase, Service, Project
