  • About the 40-char Material Description

    hello!
    I am new to MM. Could you enlighten me why SAP created the material description (MAKT-MAKTX) to only 40-char?
    Thanks,
    Ronnie

    HI
    material description is a field, each field is restrited for the number of charecter ,like plant code is 4 char
    now for description may they have set 40 as MAXIMUM charecters
    just my logic correct me if wrong
    if also u need clarification then had talk with SAP india
    refer follwoing notes
    Note 716521 - MM01/02/03: Material description shorter than 40 characters
    Note 758005 - VA05: Field 'Material description' is too short

    Hi All,
    I am running the report VL10H and facing a problem, step which is being followed by me, given below:-
    1.Put plant and delivery date and execute.
    2.click on label Edit -> Show/hide delivery.
    3.Chose the field u201CMaterial descriptionu201D from Layout for output field.
    Now here I am seeing that all the materials in this report, having SD Doc i.e. delivery has been created,
    Material description is showing and remaining materials which have no delivery (showing in green color),
    Material description is not being shown.  
    Can anybody suggest me regarding this?

    > If you run the VL10H as steps, I have given above, then you will see Material descriptions comes only those material which delivery are pending for creation, all those which delivery is posted not showing material description.
    now you are just telling it the other way around:
    Now here I am seeing that all the materials in this report, having SD Doc i.e. delivery has been created,

    I tested it, and all my sales order and STO order items are showing a material description.
    I do not have any items shown which have already deliveries created
    About which description are you talking, as I can see 2, one at item level and another one at header level ?

  • Material Description in Sales Order based on Ship to Party Language

    As we know that Material Description coming in Sales Order is based on the Language setup in Sold to Party. Is there any way I can get the Material description based on the Language setup in Ship to Party?
    If not in Sales Order then anyway I can get the Material description based on the Language setup in Ship to Party in "Delivery" or do I have to use the user exit to do so?

    Hey,
    Why u r bother about translation of language description in sales order from ship to party n all.
    c u can even take language description from sold to party, as u wanted from Ship to party. for this u just have to maintain language in alternate data tab in CMR.
    Thanks

  • 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

  • Delete material description

    how to delete material description and language exclude language EN.

    Sitting here and reading your crisp question (after I've locked your even more crisper question), it's very difficult to suggest you to do anything.
    Firstly, we need to know why you need to delete the Material Description from a standard transaction. If this is a Business requirement, only your Business know why this is needed - Im sure you have no clue about it either.
    Secondly, we need to know if this is a requirement that has been handed down to you by your Functional Consultant, or if it's a figment of your own imagination.
    Thirdly, we want to know why your Functional Consultant (if any) has not suggested you a suitable suggestion, especially when a "fresher" abap is behind the controls.
    Fourthly, please tell us why you are not ready to contact SAP and seek their advice.

  • Different material description in one language for single material

    Hi folks,
        Is it possible to maintain different material descriptions (In one language-english) for a single material.
    if it so how can u provide me steps.
    Thx in advance,

    Hi,
    For a single material code maintaining multiple text in the same language is not possible,
    this contradicts the basic principle of consistancy.

  • 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

    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.

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

    Dear Experts,
    I have a requirement for making material description as non mandetory in change request view of mdg material screen.
    I have done that using field usage in get data method of feeder classes, but still message is displaying.
    This message 'Material description is mandatory is displaying with check action only, but not with save or submit after i anhance field property as not mandetory.
    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.

    Hi,
    I don't think you can realize it, because in SAP system there are 6 influncing factors:
    Material Type
    Plant
    Industry sector
    Transaction
    Procurement indicator
    SAP Delivery
    Field selection is controlled by field references. You can assign field references to the influencing factors material type, plant, and industry sector in Customizing. SAP maintains the assignment of the field reference to the transaction codes, to the procurement types, and for the SAP delivery. You cannot change this assignment of these field references in Customizing.
    So from my point of view, you can't use the factors of material type, plant and industry sector to distinguish different users' authorization.
    Good day

  • Issue in maintaining hazardous material description in different language.

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement to display hazardoues material description in xyz langauge on a script.
    Table MGEF is the primary table for hazardous material. There is no text table for it.
    Field STOFT holds the description of the hazardous material.
    Now issue is that as no text table is available for hazardoues material , how the description can be available into multiple langauges ? Also if the text is made available in XYZ langauge in this table on login to XYZ langauge ,then it must be also be displayed in english on login with 'EN' langauge .
    Kindly help me in this regard. Also it will be great is someone can tell me how hazardoues material description is maintained in multiple langauages.
    Regards,

    Hi Ujjwal,
    You need to maintain the region code "PT" in SPRO>LE>WM>Hazardous material>Master data-->Define region code.
    Once done..relogin into system with "PT" language at login page of SAP.
    Use VM01.. give material number and region code "PT"..it'll take you to next screen where you can maintain description in Portuguese.
    Hope this will help.

  • Material Description is not displaying for few records in Report

    Dear Experts,
    Report Material Description is not displaying for few records in Bex Report but for records it is coming and even the heading of the material Description is also not coming for this report.
    Cud u plz suggest a good solution for it.
    Regards,
    Sai Phani.

    Hi Phani,
    For the text of the material in records, check if there is text maintained for that material in the master data. also try by changing the text to medium text and long text.
    regarding header, you will have same heading for key and text, you may use Materail ID / Description as the heading if you want.
