Term database extension for label system

A method stores, uses and suggests terms in a business solution software program having multiple languages (710). Instead of only searching for a general use of a term based on its text (741) and general use (734, 735), one can search for a term based on a specific use in a module. Each term is assigned its own unique identifier (731) in a term ID structure (730), which also contains information related to how the term is used in the system (734. 735 and 737). The text (741) for the term is stored in a separate term text structure (740) . The term text structure (740) contains the text (741) of the label in all of the available languages (743). The specific use (735) of the term is stored in a separate term area table (730) including a description of the specific use (735) of the term. When a new label is written the developer can search the current terms to find a term that matches the intended use.
