To automatically copy a header text from the sold-to party in a sales order, what configuration is necessary?

In SAP S/4HANA, to automatically copy a header text from the sold-to party in a sales order, it is essential to configure the text determination procedure for the sales document type. The text determination procedure allows the system to identify where header texts can be sourced from, such as customer master data or related documents. By assigning the appropriate text determination procedure to the sales document type, the system will know to look for and automatically copy the relevant text information, which in this case, is sourced from the sold-to party.

This is a critical step because text determination involves multiple settings, including the procedure itself, access sequences, and conditions. Without assigning the correct procedure, the system would not execute the process of fetching and copying the header text as required. This configuration step is foundational in ensuring that relevant customer information is seamlessly integrated into sales processes, enhancing efficiency and accuracy.
