What is opposite language dependent in SAP SBO - SAP Business One?


SAP Term: opposite language dependent

  • Component: SBO

  • Component Name: SAP Business One

  • Description: A string relating to the "document editing" function templates for printing. Since some languages are written from right to left rather than from left to right, a flag is required to tell when to print the text of a field in one direction or the other. This depends on the localization language of the database. &EXAMPLE& In IL localization, Hebrew is written from right to left, however numbers and amounts are printed from left to right. Therefore, fields containing text are printed as "language dependent" from right to left but fields containing numbers are printed as "opposite language dependent" from left to right. Every field in a print template is defined either as "language dependent" or as "opposite language dependent".
