Fringe Benefits
Who would have known the best Turkish translation of “Retail Finance Fees” is in fact “Other Products and Services”?
SAP is a vastly complex, configurable, but also strict system. We (a very Global We) have put an overlay atop this system that makes it much less configurable but still very complex. We’re virtually disallowed to create new “material” codes (finance fees are a material in SAP land), and the ones we have suck. We don’t charge finance fees from my area, but we need a code to get other stuff charged.
Luckily, we’re not an English locale, because we DO have control over the localized translation of each product description. So, as long as your customers do not receive English printouts from SAP, you can translate the items into any description you want.
