Change the description of standard element
Hi,
I need to change the description of (VBAP-MVGR1 'Material Group 1') field, which system is using in Transaction Code VA01,VA02 & VA03 (Additional data as per item level). Pls suggest me how to change it's description. Clients wants to add his own description here.
Should i change the description of data element directly with access key?
pls suggest.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
gothrough this, it will help you..
Creating Your Own Keywords and Short Texts
You can use the enhancement concept to create your own keywords for data elements stored in the ABAP Dictionary. The system uses keywords on screens to identify entry fields. Data elements can have up to three keywords of varying lengths.
The data element BBBNR, for example, identifies the first part of a customers international company number. The standard keywords for this data element in the ABAP Dictionary are:
Company no. 1
Comp. no.1
Company number 1
You might want to change these keywords to reflect your companys own terminology. Instead of Company number 1, you might want to identify the field as Corporate ID. If you change the keywords using the enhancement concept, your new texts will appear in all SAP screens where any field directly refers to the data element your altered. If SAP deliberately modifies a keyword on a standard screen, direct reference to the original data element is dissolved. Any changes you make to a keyword with the enhancement concept will not appear in standard screens that do not retain a direct reference to the modifed data element.
You can identify such screen-specific modifications by looking in the Screen Painter. Display the fields screen attributes and examine the field Modific. If an x appears, the SAP developer modified the data elements key word. Your own keyword will not appear.
The enhancement concept also allows you to alter a data elements short description (short text). This brief text appears whenever a user calls up online help for that field with F1 . To create your own keyword and short text documentation, proceed as follows:
Enter the Project management transaction by choosing Utilities ® Enhancements ® Project management from the ABAP Workbench menu
Choose Text enhancements ® Key words ® Change.
The system displays a dialog box.
Enter the name of data element.
If you want to see a list of all the screens where this data element appears, choose Ref. to screen before proceeding to the next step. The reference list shows you how many standard R/3 screens your new documentation will affect.
Choose Change from the application toolbar.
Edit the data elements keywords and short text.
Save your changes.
If you want to list all the data elements in your system that you have created customer-specific key words for, return to the main screen of the Project management transaction and choose Text enhancements ® Key words ® Display. The system displays all altered data elements and shows which changes were made.
Restoring SAP and Customer Versions
At some point you may want to restore all standard SAP keywords and short texts for data elements that you may have altered. You can restore the standard texts from the main screen of the Project management transaction. Choose Text enhancements ® Key words ® Restore SAP version. Specify the SAP release from which the texts are to be restored.
The restoration function is carried out by a special program that runs in the background. This program goes through all data elements in your SAP System and restores the standard texts where required.
Creating Your Own Online Documentation
The enhancement concept allows you to create your own online documentation for all data elements in the ABAP Dictionary. The system displays this documentation whenever a user chooses F1 to get more information about a screen field.
The standard documentation for the R/3 data element BBBNR reads: Here, you enter the first 7 digits of the international location number. You can enhance this documentation with additional information that your users may need. To write your own field documentation, proceed as follows:
Call the Project management transaction by choosing Utilities ® Enhancements ® Project management from the ABAP Workbench menu.
Choose Text enhancements ® Data elements ® New DE cust. docu.
The system displays a dialog box.
Specify the data elements name.
If you want to see a list of all the screens where this data element appears, choose Ref. to screen before proceeding to the next step. The reference list shows you how many standard R/3 screens your new documentation will affect.
Choose Change from the application toolbar.
On the next screen, ensure that the checkbox labelled Make available SAP documentation in the form of an INCL is activated.
Choose Create.
Write your own documentation.
Save your changes.

How can i change the sequence of text element in standard driver program ?
Hi,
can u tell me how can i change the sequence of text element in standard sapscript driver program.. without making a zcopy of standard driver program.
My problem is when MEDRUCK form is getting printed for PO print , header text is coming before item. But the requirement is to come it after item.So how cani do that without making the zcopy of SAPLMEDRUCK program..Is there any enhancement point in SAPLMEDRUCK driver program..where i can put my customise code for changing the sequence of text element ?Hi,
Just copy the MEDRUCK to ZMEDRUCK. No need to copy the driver program.
1) SE71Menu > Utilities > COpy from Client
MEDRUCK ->>Client 000
New formname ZMEDRUCK
2) Now open the ZMEDRUCK in DE language in SE71
3) Menu > Utilities > Convert original Language
Change DE to EN, save and activate
4) Now open the ZMEDRUCK in EN language
5) Goto Pagewindows > Main window,
Look for the HEADER text Text element, copy the whole code under this Text element just after the ITEM text Text element, and comment the HEADER text above.
Now the Header text Text element will be below ITEM text only. This will full fill your requirment.
Now goto NACE transaction and add the copied ZMEDRUCK to the EF application.

Change the description of a field in a SAP QUERY
Can i change the description of a field in a SAP QUERY report in the output of the report.or only the standard descriptions can be displayed.
Edited by: mysap query on May 12, 2009 7:23 AMHI,
in query maintenance (sq01) you can change the text of the field at the selection screen (change the selection text in the screen where you choose the selection fields) and the header text in the output list (basiclist maintennace , go to "basic list header", double-click each header field to maintain the text). This change is only for the particular query. No ABAP-er required to do so.

can any body tell how to change the description of the field in the sales order.ex pricing date to customer date some thing like that(same answer) for the same question
Hi,
to modify the description of field :
SE38 with program : RSMODWRD
Enter your field (data element) + language.
Another way :
TCode : CMOD and in menu bar Goto / Text enhancements / keywords/Change
I think, a direct transaction exists but i don't find.

Change the description of the change request number" in SE10 after release
Hi All
Is there way to change the
"description of the change request number" in SE10
after releasing the change request number?
appreciate your feedback
Thanks you
IverHello
I do not know a way to do it in se10 but a simple program could do the trick.
Include the following code in your program.
update e07t set as4text = 'your new description'
where trkorr = your_cr and langu = 'E'.
Of course you will have to wrestle with the 'moral issue' of directly updating SAP delivered tables

How to change the properties of individulal elements in an array?
Hi all,
I have an array (size is 25) of string and I want to disable and grayout half of them. But how do I do it? How do I change the properties of individual elements in an array? I have tried to use some of the examples given in the discussion forums, but it didint work for the task mentioned above. Anybody would be able to help me with a suitable example that can be specifically used for disable or enable the individual array elements?
DevTelemaque wrote:
The user will see the first half of the string elements filled-in and the lower half grayed-out (to be filled in later). Make a test VI, play around.
... except that all elements "greyed out" with this method contain the default string for the array element (blank by default, but changeable). There is no way to have meaningful, unique text in the greyed out elements.
I would suggest to use a listbox as control/indicator. Here elements can easily be disabled programmatically.
