Understanding How to Translate User Defined Codes into Alternate Languages

Multinational enterprises can translate the descriptions for both UDCs and UDC types into alternate languages. The system displays the descriptions in the language designated by the user's language preference. For example, you can provide a translated description for this UDC:

  • Code: E

  • English Description: Employees

  • Spanish Description: Empleados

In this way, users can select the same UDCs, regardless of their language preference.

The User Defined Code Alternate Descriptions program (P0004D) stores the translated descriptions in the following tables:

  • User Defined Codes - Alternate Language Descriptions (F0004D)

  • User Defined Codes - Alternate Language Descriptions (F0005D)
