Amend Short & Long Text in GL A/c master

Hello All,
We created a GL account without reference to an eisting account at Chart of Accounts level. We do not attach it to any Company code. In this situation we are able to amend the short & long text of the GL account after it is saved.
But in case we create the GL account with reference to an existing account at CoA level not attaching it to any Co. code & saving it; we are now NOT able to amend the short & long text of the account. We are allowed to amend only the GL account group.
Please let me know by using what method we will be able to amend the short & long text of this GL account.
Thanks
Shreenath

Hello,
This short & Long text could be finally resolved by using transaction OB_GLACC13 - Mass changes

    Hi Atul,
    I think you can enter short description & long text seprately for a WBS while creating entire struture of project in PS only. I don't think other than PS you will be able to enter short & long text for individual WBS.

    I have long text in one internal table, master table have one to maany relation with longtext table and long text contains 120 character in each line.
    i need to display long text using 30 char in each line on alv. could you please suggest the soution ????
    format is like
    ponumber date         longtext 
        1234    03/04/05   this is PO is created
                                  for materail which have
                                  shortage in plant.

    hope u r expecting this..
    optimize = 'X'
    if u use OUTPUTLEN it is fixed size for that specific field, and also it reflects for next fields, to avoid that again have to mention OUTPUTLEN = 'X' for next field.
    With OPTIMIZE = 'X'  it will adjust based on the size.

  • GL Account Short vs. Long Text

    Where is the short text vs. long text used in the system for GL account descriptions?  There is not enough room right now in the short text field for our account descriptions so we are concerned what the implications of using the same names across multiple accounts for the short description but putting all the correct detail in the long text field.

    Hello,
    Normally these short text are visible when you go with F4 (drop down list), you will see the short text. As stated earlier, I would not recommend any changes to standard screens. Many of the SAP implementation that I have seen gone with the standard and used the length provided by SAP.
    Business need to use more logic when they are defining short and long texts. If you are creating cost elements, note that the same short and long text will be copied to COST ELEMENTS.

  • Text Type (short - long) in F4 selection help (web)

    How can I change the the text type (short - medium - long) in the F4 help for a variable on the web? Currently the short text is always displayed and I want to show the medium text.
    I had the idea the setting 'text type' (in rsa1\infoobject maintenance\ tab bex) is responsible for this, but changing this setting has no effect. I also tried to change this in the query designer (infobject properties \ display as), again without result.
    The query is based on an InfoSet.
    Thank you for your help!
    Kind regards
    Dirk

    Hi, you can try to change the transfer rules setting matching the medium text from the source system to the long text in the infoObject and then change the infoObject text properties. I have the same problem with the infoObject with only the short and medium description. In the F4 i can have only the short description.
    I hope it help

    Hi ,
          In the transaction related to PO select the path goto->header texts and then details of the texts like ID,objectname,language,name.Pass all theses details to 'READ_TEXT '   FM. Then you will get text lines described for a perticular Po ,similarly for item also.

  • Field Short Text and long Text not displayed in SKA1 in Se17

    When try to extract chart of account data from SAP using Tcode se17 and table ska1. Short text and G/L acc long text are not displayed where as these are displayed when we use t code se16 and table ska1.
    My client want to use specifically se17 for extracting the data.

    Vineet,
    that's a joke isnt' it ?
    se17 is from SAP-Rel 2.1 or s.th.!
    all jokes aside - the inclusion of text table (here table skat - to table ska1) is only realized with transcations SE16 and SE16N.
    To program this inclusion to se17 is very costly - i think and a modification too!
    hope you can persuade your client

  • Long Text to Short Text connversion in IW31/IW32

    Hi Experts,
    I am working on a requirement where I need to overwrite the short text for material description with the long text while creating the maintenance order in IW31/IW32.
    Initially I thought of handling this in a implementation of BADI IWO1_PREQ_BADI in method DECISION_COLL_PREQ.
    But this this method is gettign triggered when the paurchasing data is being entered and even before the long text is entered.
    Once the order is ready to be saved, and once the user clicks on save I want to write this conversion where I can copy the long text into short text overwriting the material description in component tab of IW31/IW32.
    Please check and suggest the BADI/userexits for thsi purpose.
    Regards
    Kishore

    Hi Kishore,
    Go to transaction SE24, class name CL_EXITHANDLER, go to methods, double click on method GET_INSTANCE.
    Set a break point at
    CALL METHOD cl_exithandler=>get_class_name_by_interface
    EXPORTING
    instance = instance
    IMPORTING
    class_name = class_name
    CHANGING
    exit_name = exit_name
    EXCEPTIONS
    no_reference = 1
    no_interface_reference = 2
    no_exit_interface = 3
    data_incons_in_exit_managem = 4
    class_not_implement_interface = 5
    OTHERS = 6.
    CASE sy-subrc.
    Now run trasaction IW31, press f8 till you reach bfore save button, enter the long text and all, now press the save buttton, control will break if in case any BADi is there(I think there is), exit name and instance will give you the BADI details.
    I think this is one of the simplest way.
    Thanks and Regards,

  • Creation of short text and long text?

    Hi,
    We create short text by using oe_fnd_attachments_pub.create_short_text_document and oe_fnd_attachments_pub.add_attachment API and to create long text we use fnd_documents_pkg.insert_row .
    Why is it that we have different approaches for creation of short text and long text?
    I know that oe_fnd_attachments_pub.add_attachment is used to attach a short text to some entity,but then why we dont do the same for long text?
    Please lemme knw urgently ...
    Thanks and Regards
    Amar

  • CATS Short Text & Long Text

    Hello Experts,
    How are "Short Text" and "Long text" used in CATS? I thought that these were supposed to be two separate text fields, but when I make an entry in the Long text field, the value shows up in the Short Text field.
    Are these two separate fields? Any ideas how to use both Short Text and Long text and not have the value copied from one to the other?

    Hi,
    You can Create a rule in Alert Configuration based on the <b>error code</b> under "where did the error occur".
    Based on this you can trigger the required Alert category.

  • Short and long texts

    Dear Experts,
    I have many BW objects (like Infocubes, Infoobject catalogues, Infoobjects) for which no short and long texts are maintained in one language. Now, all these are in use in the production system. I have to edit the short and long texts for all of these objects. My intention on how to do it is to,
    1) Logon to the Development system
    2) Edit short texts manually for all of the objects.
    3) Collect the changed objects in Transport organiser and transport to the productive system.
    My only question is does we need to do any thing in the production system after transporting these objects for them to get reflected.
    Any help and other thoughts are greatly appreciated...
    Kind Regards,
    Shravan

    Transport Changes and that's all ...
    Hope it helps

  • Difference betwen short text and long text

    Hi,
    what is the difference between short text, long text and variant.

    Hi,
    Short text is the short description you give for an object or field simlarly long text is the long description for a object or field.
    Short text cannot have lenght more than 20 and long text more than 60.
    Variant means for example if you give certain values as an input in one of your transaction for testing and you want the same values to be used every time you test in that particular screen, then instead of inputting the values again n again you call the variant.
    Hope this helps
