3449458 - Revenue Recognition Run doesn't display run descriptions while logged-in in different logon language

Symptom

In the Revenue Recognition view, runs do not show Run Descriptions created in a language different from the user's logon language. The customer uses both Finnish and English logon languages.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the Cost and Revenue Work center.
  2. Under Periodic Tasks view, go to Revenue Recognition sub-view.
  3. Here, the run descriptions are only visible in the language the run was originally created in making it harder for the users using different languages in the system to recognize their runs and tasks generated without description in their chosen logon language.

Cause

If the run descriptions were made in English, then when we log in to a system with Finnish logon logon language or vice versa, the Run Descriptions are not visible because there is no translation maintained for static texts. The Description will come only if it is maintained in that logon language.  

Resolution

This is a standard system behavior.

However, you can also observe that when you copy a revenue recognition run from another one with blank description, the newly copied one has description. So, this can help the user recognize their runs.
