Material Description getting truncated in LI04 print

Hi All,
When we print Physical Inventory document in LI04 and using standard report RLLI0400 the system takes on 20 char in material description and truncates rest of the description.
However SAP given Note 538759 - Modif.note to extend material Desc. in report RLLI0400, which is a modification note to allow a 40 char description to be displayed.
We have carried out the correction as per this note still system is printing only 20 chars, did any one used this note, or any subsequent notes are required. Pl let me know.
We are using ECC - 6.0.
Thanks in advance
Ratnakar

Thanks for your reply.
Did you just applied the corrections mentioned in the Note, or did you do anything else.
Can pl tell me little more detailed on what you done and how u running transactions to let this report show complete material description.
Thanks again,
RJ

#(hash) sign printed out for spaces material description in PO

Hi All,
I have problem with my sapscript form for PO, when preview, the material description is ok
but when print out, the space between the word of the material description become # sign like
Leif#Eriksson#1oz#Silver#Coin###, this not happen to all item, only for certain material.
When checked, these material are not created manually in system but is uploaded by BDC.
In material master screen, there are no #sign either.
Any solution or what should I check ?
Thanks

Well, as you've probably discovered by searching the forums, the # is a substitution for an unprintable character. I would look at the data value in debug, convert that to a hex value with a chart, and see what needed to be done to either clean up the data values or substitute a space for whatever character(s) the # values represent in the output.

Printing Material Description in Arabic for Smartform

Hi All,
I have created a custom smartform for printing the PO, Sales Invoice.
The material description is maintained from RTL-Arabic language in Material Master(MM02) - محبس بليه بلاكورين 75م.
I need to print the above material description alone within the Item window in arabic language as displayed above but it is getting reversed when I see the print preview of PO and Sales Invoice.
Initially, I got to know from some SDN forum replies that we need to enable Arabic Font in our workstation(PC) so that it can be solved and then some suggested that Arabic font should be installed in SAP system.(Tried both the options, but could not resolve issue).
Even we tried in SE63 to translate the text but we couldnot.
SE63->Translation->ABAP Objects->Other Long texts->FS(Forms & Styles)->SSF->Smartform Name->Source/Target Lang->Edit. Window with the english version opens at the top and at the bottom, there is an editable window for translation.
But I could not further proceed as I didnt know how to do translation for the text elements.
Correct me if I am wrong in these steps.
Could anyone suggest me a solution to resolve this issue and explain the steps to do the translation in SE63.
Earliest reponse will be appreciated.
Rgds,
JK

Jay,
Yes we tried using the STRING_REVERSE FM. But the thing is the description contain some numerals in between the text, so it get reversed if we use the FM. So it wont suit our purpose.
Is there any printer configuration to be done to resolve this issue? Or any other settings within the smartform?
We have to display the text as maintained in Material Master, the variable get populated correctly while debugging but it get reversed when we look at the print preview.

How could i get the material description in cost esti itemization view?

Hi Gurus,
I have created the process order (T.Code COR1) and calculate the cost & get the material costing details.but i required to see the material description (Packaging material) rather than the material code (PK01-1204) in costing itemization view.
E.g.
SAP Material Code: PK01-1204 - Description - Packaging material.
while checking the costing view i had see the Material code PK01-1204 in itemization.but i required the material description (Packaging material) in itemization view.
Please help me to overcome this issue......
Regards,
Dhananjay R.

Dear Dhananjay,
You can have Material description in Itemization by following way :
Go to Itemization screen -
> Change layout ( On top you will find icon for this , below Display Itemization text)
In change layout you will see Filter icon ---> select Plant / Material Text by dropdown in it and save it so you will find material description in itemization.
Try above which will resolve your issue.
Revert in case any problem.
HOpe this helps.

Item description not getting updated when material description is changed

Hi,
In a contract, line item description gets copied from material master. However, when material master is updated line item description does not get updated in a transaction. Is there a way to update this?
Thanks,
Deepak

Hi Deepak,
Line item description is not changed as when you enter the material in order and save, description is saved in table CRMD_ORDERADM_I along with other details. now if you change the material master description it is pretty obvious that CRMD_ORDERADM_I contents will not automatiically change. if you enter the same material again in order as new line item system will read from material master whereas for existing line items will be read from CRMD_ORDERADM_I . you can change the description using FM CRM_ORDERADM_I_MAINTAIN_OW
i hope it clarify your concern.
Thanks

Datagrid getting truncated during printing

Hi All,
I have a panel which contains the following items :-
1. A Header Label
2. A time slider
3. A combo box
4. A view stack which has a chart at index 0 and a data grid at index 1
5. Some buttons
For the datagrid(which is inside a VBox,whose height is 100% and verticalScrollPolicy is "on"), I have set the following attributes:-
1.variableRowHeight = true
2.rowCount = "{gridDataProvider.length}"
3.verticalScrollPolicy = "off"
4. wordWrap = true
5. dataProvider = "{gridDataProvider}"
6. updateComplete = "onUpdateComplete()"
The function onUpdateComplete is:-
private function onUpdateComplete() : void
               var newHeight : Number;
                if ( this.gridDataProvider )
                    this.dataGrid.headerHeight=50;
                    newHeight = dataGrid.measureHeightOfItems(0, this.gridDataProvider .length) + this.dataGrid.headerHeight ;
                    this.dataGrid.height = newHeight;
                    this.dataGrid.validateNow();
While printing, I am having a printVBox which contains all these components and its height = dataGrid.height + some buffer height for accomodating the height of other components in the panel.
I am able to print all the components, both before and after the datagrid, but the content of the datagrid is getting truncated, many rows are not printed.
Please help. Thanks in advance !!
Regards,
Rudhir

Hi Rudhir,
You should do something like below:
private function doPrint(event:Event):void
    var printJob:FlexPrintJob = new FlexPrintJob();
    if(printJob.start() != true) return;
    try
     var originalDGHeight:int = dataGridId.height;
     //Increasing the height of the desired component to be printed without scroll.
     //Here Check which one is giving you total height dataGridId.measuredMinHeight or dataGridId.measuredHeight
     dataGridId.height = dataGridId.measuredMinHeight;
     //dataGridId.height = dataGridId.measuredHeight;
     dataGridId.verticalScrollPolicy = "off";
     //Adding the resized Component to our FlexPrintjob and then sending the print request
     printJob.addObject(printVBox,FlexPrintJobScaleType.MATCH_WIDTH);
     printJob.send();
     //Resizing the component back to normal size
     dataGridId.height = originalDGHeight;
     dataGridId.verticalScrollPolicy = "auto";
    catch(error:Error)
                 trace("Error : " + error.message);

In Read_text FM, the data after 256 characters gets truncated

Hi All,
In this FM, the internal table can't have string type field. In my case the data is in multiple lines of internal table and I am concatenating into a single field which is of type DESCRIPTIONS(string). I am passing this data to a table in smartform.Only 255 characters are printed, remaining data gets truncated. I am using CONVERT_OTF and SX_TABLE_LINE_WIDTH_CHANGE FMs to create PDF. Is it the limitation or I am incorect here?

Your posting title is misleading; there's nothing wrong with FM READ_TEXT. Yes, it returns a table of type TLINE, as you've noted. Perhaps you could close this post and repost in FORM PRINTING with an appropriate title like: Can't show more than 255 characters of text.....but search first, because you cannot be the first person to encounter this limitation.

How to enter customer specific material description

Tried MM02 - basic data for Language EN, but then all customers with language EN get this description.
Tried MM02 - Sales Text but then all customers created in this salesorganization get this description.
Would like to enter customer specific material description. Unfortunately VD52 is limited to 35 characters, need about 80 characters.
Regards Andy

Thanks RAF,
I noticed I needed to use the button addtional text as well in VD52, though this is limited to 72 characters and not unlimited. Now I'm facing the issue that the commercial invoice is not printing all characters defined in this field, so probably have the layout increase field length.
Thanks for the help.
If there is another solution to define a Customer specific materail description then mentioned above I would like to know.
Regards Andy

Material description VS Purchase order Text when creating a PO

Hi Gurus,
When creating a PO for a specific material, I have to print a purchase order text different from the material description.
To do this, a specific text has be added to the material master data in the tab "Purchase order Text" with the italian language maintained.
But, when i start to create a new PO for this material, the short text that is shown is retrieved form the Material description and not from the Purchase order text that has been added before.
How can I do to have the purchase order text shown in the PO instead of the common material description?
Thanks in advance for your support.
Regards,
Valentino
Edited by: Valentino Rosso on Sep 9, 2009 10:58 AM

Hi Rajaram,
thansk a lot for your answer, it has been very helpful.
Could you please clarify me the below points?
1) Could you please confirm me that this is the functionality of the standard SAP System? That means that in case we want to put the purchase order text in to "short text" we would need to create an ad hoc development, right?
2) In case we print the PO with the purchase order text added for the material, is there any point where we can find this information for the material, or we will see just the material description from the Material Master Data?
Thanks a lot for your support.
Regards,
Roberto

How to prevent error message for material description in MDG material detail screen, when user click on check action.
Thanks
Sukumar

Hello Sukumar
In IMG activity "Configure Properties of Change Request Step", you can completely deactivate the reuse area checks (but will then loose all other checks of the backend business logic as well).
You can also set the error severity of the checks from Error to Warning (per CR type, not per check).
Or you provide a default value for the material description, e.g. by implementing the BAdI USMD_RULE_SERVICE.
