The concept of the extended text and language handling in master data information is about to make extended text flow from the base entities to, for instance, documents and to use on web shops or PIM system, et cetera.

So you can add extended text to all those different entities in master date information.

For example, you can add extended text directly to information code, to information value or to the specific entities of customers, vendors, lot numbers, items and so on.

So you can add extended text directly and of course you can do as many lines of extended text as you prefer on those three levels.

Likewise, you can add HTML text if you want to work with extended text to use it for catalogs or web shops or or places where you need it to be HTMO formatted.

And you can add languages to extended text, meaning that you can add language code to both information code, the information value, and the specific entities.

And you can add extended text on top of those language codes.

So you can also have a language for information value information code on item, and you can add extended text on top of that.

You can use merge description functionality to merge descriptions, uh, with the languages as well.

And you can use all the extended text to transfer to, for instance, documents open and post the documents.

You can use it on a PIM system, quality control, all the places where you want to have business central carry, extended text and language specific extended text structured in a nicely order of of data.

So that’s the whole point of using extended text and languages.
