Create Long Text in MM01 for material

Hi,
I'm trying to create long text in MM01. After entering industry sector and material type and also the necessary views, i hit EDIT --> Long Text , the create text option is greyed out (inactive)..
How can i make this work ? Or is there any other field where i can use long text ?
thank you..

Our client's material master data for material text is longer than 40 characters.. and it's impossible for them to reduce this to 40 charac.
So i need to find another field which they can use..
I wonder if i use po text, can i use it for developed reports, in search helps .. etc.. I'm not sure..
And also I have no clue about how will i use the long text in EDIT menu..

Create long text for network activity

Hello,
I'll create a long text for a network activity, but I found no BAPI for that.
When I create long text for an order activity I use the BAPI BAPI_ALM_ORDER_MAINTAIN. There it is possible to specifiy the long text lines.
In the BAPI BAPI_NETWORK_MAINTAIN there ist no table for specifying long text.
Did anyone know how to create a long text for an network activity?

Hello Vivek,
I'll tried this too. My problem was, if I add long text to a existing network activity, everything works well. But in my programm I create a new network plan with one network activity (0010). After commit I become the correct network plan number. Then I try to add long text to the network activity. I get correct return codes but if I look in the transcation CJ20N I could not see some text. If I use the READ_TEXT function with the key I insert the text, I see the text, but not with the transaction CJ20N.
I compared the key I used in my program with the key if I insert text with transaction CJ20N. I could'nt found some differences.

Protecting long text in MM01 MM02

Hi all
my requirements is to protect material basic data long text (trx MM01, MM02) for a specific user. How can I do that?
Note that I can't use authority object M_MATE_MAN, cause only long text need to be protected.
My SAP release is 4.6C
Regards

Hi Stefano,
We had a similar requirement and we used the userexit to do prevent the changes. You can create a dummy auth and then if the field changes you can check this object to allow or disallow the changes.

Hope this helps

How to write program for the long text in EMIGALL for the DEVICE LOCATION.

Hi,
I am pretty new to this ISU field and i have been asked to code for a Long Text in EMIGALL for DEVICE LOCATION,
so i would like someone can help me with it.
thanks in advance.
Robert.

Robert,
You can find most of the answers to your questions in the Guidelines:
Chapter 2.4.2 describes how to configure the field rule Fixed Value.
Chapter 2.4.5 describes how to configure the field rule via KSM.
Chapter 2.5 descibes the Key- and Status Management and the usage of the the KSM in field rules.
The specific answer to your questions are:
(1) ...When i was adding the fixed rule, it was asking for domain so what should be the Domain that i should add ... You may ignore the domain field when creating a fixed value object. It's more for information purposes.
(2) ... and what should i keep the fixed value, string or filed or abap rule ... I'd suggest to use 'String' and enter the specific value in the field 'FV contents'.
(3) ... Finally you need to adjust the RETURN-FIELD of the newly created BAPI migration object to AUTO-X_HEAD-TDNAME, where do i make this adjustment can you specify that ... The return field can only be adjusted int the migration object maintenance screen (MigObject -> Change). Please see chapter 3.1 for more details on the 'return field' and figure 3-8 in chapter 3.4.2 how to generate a BAPI migration object.
(4) ... Well i would also like to ask about the x_head-tdname = via KSM (e.g. DEVLOC), where should i put the value ... You wanted to know how to migrate a long text of a device location migration object DEVLOC). According to chapter Chapter 2.4.5 you need to enter the name of the superior migration object (here DEVLOC) in the 'MigObject1'field on the 'via KSM' sub-screen on the field maintenance screen.
(5) ... and what exactly would it be can i put DEVLOC in the ID of technical Object and where should i put this value... I am not sure I understand your question. In the end you will need to pass the number (ID) of the technical object in the TDNAME field. Either you put the id into the import file (only if you know the id) or you need to use the 'via KSM' field rule to replace the legacy system key of the device location by the SAP key by the load report and prior to passing the auto data to the application thus your new function module.
Kind regards,
Fritz

Creating the text data source for 0OI_LIFNR(TD: Carrier (Number of vendor a

Hi
Have to create the text data source for this characteristic. Basically it is the same as 0Vendor here.
I want to make it delta enabled.
Am creating it on the view BIW_LFA1T(same as 0vendor)
Can anyone advise what can I use to make it delta enabled without any code.
Can I use numeric pointer like the 0Vendor_text.
Many Thanks and regards,
Kate.

when defining a data source through the admin web page, don't add '!' in front of the password.
! is needed only when configuring a data source in the mapViewerConfig.xml file.

hi ,
u can use the TEXT EDIT UI element , procced like this :
1 Right click on Root Element UI container , insert elemnt TEXT EDIT
2 create a context attribute of type string or string_table
3 bind value property of ur UI to this attribute
4 u can get the values entered in the text UI by user , by get_attribute method
press CNTRL + F7 , select the radio button read context node/attribute , select the corresponding attribute
The attribute to be bound can be of type STRING or STRING_TABLE. With STRING_TABLE rows from TextEdit are stored as table rows. A line break is always stored as a line feed in a STRING (CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>NEWLINE, ASCII decimal 10). The Web Dynpro framework carries out the conversion for the client platform.
Note that a string to be displayed in TextEdit, must only use a line feed as a line break.

Hai ,
here you have to use custom control, for this
DATA: line(256) TYPE c,
      text_tab LIKE STANDARD TABLE OF line,
      field LIKE line.
1) Create custom control in your screen
2)   CREATE OBJECT: container EXPORTING container_name = 'TEXTEDIT',   "--> (this is custom control name in screen)
                   editor    EXPORTING parent = container.
3) CALL METHOD editor->get_text_as_stream "This method reads data from custom control , inserts into itab 'text_tab'
         IMPORTING
          text = text_tab.                                       "
      READ TABLE text_tab INTO line INDEX 1. read the text into wa 'line'

Hi Eswar,
I think you have not extended the Purchasing view for that material.
Goto MM01 and select the material 150 then select the Purchasing view for the Organizational level (plant).
Or check the Procurement type in MRP2 view for that material.
Check the cross Plant material status in Basic data 1 & Purchasing view for that material, whether the material is blocked for any procurement.
Check all these you will find the solution.
