Summary :
This SAP Note discusses issues and solutions related to the "Reference/duplicate" indicator for text management in transaction VOTX or VOTXN. The note clarifies that texts in SAP can be either duplicated or referenced; the behavior is controlled by the indicator settings in Customizing. If duplicated, texts don't reflect changes in subsequent documents, useful where text changes are time-dependent. If referenced, changes to the original text update all referencing documents, unless the text is altered, making it independent. The note provides examples of both scenarios and their impacts on text handling within different documents.
