Data storage

Besides storing your transactional data, the database also stores configuration data, such as error codes and item descriptions of various attributes. This means that the database may have to store values in a language-specific format. If these database literals are not localized, screen literals are displayed inconsistently, with some of them being displayed in the localized language and the others in English.

In addition to localizing configuration data, Sterling Selling and Fulfillment Foundation enables you to localize master data, such as items, categories, and assets.

You can store item descriptions in your database in multiple languages.

Note: The localized item description is only available for Order Details and Order Line Details screens.
