Change material description in MM02

Hi,
System is allowing to change the material description in MM02 from any views.
Requirement is once the material code save, system should allow to change the description of product to user who have authorisation for Basic data 1 and 2 not other views.
Like I am giving Accounting view authorisation to one person, he should not able to change the product description.
Is it possibel and how?
Thanks,
Samir Bhatt

Hi,
Description is part of MARA table. If you give full authorization for General data fields to the persons that maintain basic 1 & 2 and does not give this authorization to the persons that are not allowed to change the description, you will achieve what you want. This will allow the financial people to see the general data fields but they will not be able to change them.

Display mode for Material Description in MM02 for Partucular User/UsrGroup

Dear friends,
I required to set: Display mode for Material Description in MM02. (Configured thruu2019 Maintain field selection to data screen)
For Particular User / User group, it should be Change mode. How to achive this. Please advice.
Thanks and regards,
RAMAN

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

Change Material description by z report

Dear Freinds,
I want to change material description ,SHORT DESCRIPTION by zreport screen without using any excel or text file, please help me out .
Thanks
Naveen

Hi,
Make those fields what ever user wants to enter in the selection screen aslo the field which you want to change by user.
When ever user clcik on execute then they should get message by saying that "Description is changed".
Code:
1. create one work area type table of MARA.
2. fetch the single record form MARA into that structure where table entries = user inputs
3. map the description field with user entered field to be change
4. Unlock the table
5. modify the table from work area
6. Lock the table.
7. Pass the message.

Block material description in MM02|

Hi,
Is there any settings to block users permissions for modify material master description in MM02?
Thanks
Jorge G

Hi,
   Transaction variant will be a good option for you. Go to SHD0 transaction and create a new transaction variant for MM02. Maintain the material description field as "output only" and save the variant.
    Please note that you have to maintain the variant with material description as output only for all the material master views.
   You can assign the variant to all required users, who doesnt want to change the material description, then create a variant group and assign accordingly.
Refer the doc: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/a070bfbb-d34a-2d10-b092-ecbe0b0d4a4c?quicklink=index&…

Hi All,
Material Description is at client level data it will be applicable for all plants. But if you extend the material for using it in the other plant you can make a note in the sale text or purchase order text.
Hope this will solve your problem,

How to stop material description changed after changing customer on SO

I have updated material description on a SO. However after changing the Sold-to, the material description refreshed back to original.
Anyone knows how to stop system to change material description back to default?

Hi
In standard SAP when we change sold to party in sale order system redetermine prices and taxes but this is new thing for me that system also redetermines material description. Amitesh Anand I have also chcked this in my system and material description is getting changed after changing the customer.
Field is VBAP-ARKTX and you can ask your ABAPER to write the code in userexit MV45AFZZ and
USEREXIT_PRICING_PREPARE_TKOMP. I have checked this system is calling this exit. Give it a try and update the status.

How to change material discription at sales order item level ?

Dear Gurus,
We have some requirement need to change material description at sales order item level , but in system it is in disable mode how to change that into change mode in sales order item level?
Thanks in advance
Regards
Venkat

Not possible in SAP Standard.
Instead why not create a Customer Material Info Record in T-Code - VD51?
Alternatively it the requirement to change the Description is only for few Sales Order then create a Text ID & Enter the Description in Text Feild. Then in Smartform program wrie a code which will check for Material Description in the Text first & if not found then take from normal material Description in Sales Order.
But Customer Material info Record seems to be the best solution.
Hope this helps,
Thanks,

Material Description from Purchase Order Intercompany to Outbound Delivery

Dear.
For a purchase order intercompany I change the material description of an item.
I create the delivery from po using VL10D , I check the delivery but the item position is taken
from material master and not from the purchase order changed material description.
How can I solve this problem ?
Thanks

Hi
Check tcode VTLA for NL/DL for item category NLN for instance. You must have in data transfer the subroutine '302' )Item w/o Sales Order). You have this coding:
if not xkomdlgn-arktx is initial.
    lips-arktx = xkomdlgn-arktx.
endif.
Try to do this, you have a coding:
lips-vbelv       = xkomdlgn-vbelv.
lips-posnv      = xkomdlgn-posnv.
where you must have the PO number and item. Search in EKPO the description and replace it in LIPS-ARKTX. For this, create your own VOFM and replace it in the settings of VTLA.
I hope this helps you

User Exits for Purchase order & requistion to control Material description

Dear Experts,
I am creating a Purchasing requisition & Purchase order for certain Material Type. Currently user can change material description at item level without anu check. Now I have different material type like PACKING(ZPAC), Raw material(ZROH) Etc.
My requirement is like such that i want to allow change of material description of packing material(ZPAC) but system should not allow for Raw material type(ZROH). so from where i can control this?
Can any one give me EXIT name or enhancement point for Purchase order & requisition.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Piyush

Dear,
You can achieve this by Field selection in SPRO > MM > Purchasing > Purchase Requisition > Define Document Types > Here get the Field Selection Key for PR Doc Type
SPRO > MM > Purchasing > Purchase Requisition > Define Screen Layout at Document Level > Here for that Field Selection Key, for Selection group "Basic data, item", make field "Short text" as display.
Similarly do for PO also SPRO > MM > Purchasing > Purchase Order > Define Document Types > Here get the Field Selection Key for PO Doc Type
SPRO > MM > Purchasing > Purchase Order > Define Screen Layout at Document Level > Here for that Field Selection Key, for Selection group "Basic data, item", make field "Short text" as display.
Note: - But in case of text Purchases, you need to create a new PR and PO Document Type. So that this config. will not have any impact on Text Purchases.
