Copy Purchase Requisition - Material Short Text

When creating a new purchase requisition by copying an existing purchase requisition using the document overview in ME51N, the material short text is always copied from material master (makt-MAKTX) instead of the line item (eban-TXZ01) from the source purchase requisition.
Is there a way to set up copy control for short texts as there is for long texts ?
using ECC 6.0
thanks in advance

Hello Thomas,
Unfortunately no, when you copy the PR from another PR the System redetermined some  fields from the material master,these fields are :
Planned Delivery Time,
Unit of Measure,
Material Short Text  
Goods Receipt Processing Time,
Material Category,
MRP Controller...
This system behaviour is intended since many companies more often change the data in the material master rather than copying a purchase requisition that contains changed material data.

Mauro

  • Copy purchase requisition with me51n

    Hi,
    I have a problem when I want copy a purchase requisition in me51n.
    I have two documents types in specific and I use a variant of transaction who fixed the document type.
    I execute me51N
    I search a purchase requisition with other types.
    I do a drag & drop to copy the purchase requisition.
    But in the first copy, there is a document type present on header level was copied and in the second copy it is a document type comes from reference that is copied.
    I want for the first copy, the document type comes from reference in the copy.
    What am I doing ?
    Thanks.

    in order to perform a Purchase Requisition-Upload from R/3 Backend system into another system there
    are several steps necessary.
    When I am creating a Purchase Requisition at the Backend regarding a valid material-number,
    the Purchase Requisition will be automatically inserted into the table EPRTRANS.
    But not in case of if you create a Purchase Requisition without a Material-Numnber.
    e.g. Purchase Requisition with free text and account assignment.
    Function Module BBP_EPRTRANS_MAINTAIN is reposible for transfering of Purchase Requisition
    into table EPRTRANS.
    I need these PR in the EPRTRANS in order to perform the report BBP_EXTREQ_TRANSFER finally.
    It trnasfers all Purchase Requisition from EPRTTANS to the external system.
    I hope it clarifys some of the confusion .

  • Making material short text grade out while creating PR

    dear all
    while making pr for materials,by t-code me51n, the system does not make the material short text diable/grade out.
    eg if i select material from material master say material code 1000055-----& short text is --cement 53 grade.
    then at the time of creating pr i can change the short text cement 53 grade to any off my choice.
    logically this should not happend, as then their will not be any trace of PR in system.
    pls let me know how to come out of this problems.
    as we want that when ever we select the material from MM master, the system should make the short text grade out while creating the PR, so that further complication can be avoided.
    thanks in adv
    regards
    pairkshit

    hi manohar
    this process does not work. beacause with this process the system disable the entire coloumn of short text in ME51N.
    which is not our requirement.
    the system should only grade out the material short text cell while we create the PR for material, so that one could not able to change the material short text which has come from MM master
    is their any other solution for this.

  • Updating purchase infor record short text (EINE-TXZ01)

    Hi all,
    I am creating a purchase info record through BDC where i have to update the purchase info record short text manually(CREATE_TEXT Function module) with some default values'XXXX'.
    Can any one provide me some information how to achieve that??
    Thanks

    Hi,
    you can use screen fields in BDC to update short text. you need CREATE_TEXT or SAVE_TEXT function module to update long text. Transaction may any. You have to pass some parameter to update long text.First try to use READ_TEXT to get existing text for practice.You will get some idea of long text, then create your own long text for any transaction

  • Copy Purchase Requisition Header Text to Purchase Order

    Hello!
    I will like to copy the Header text of the Purchase Requisition to the Purchase Order.
    I have read that SAP does not allow to copy it to the Header Text of the PO but it allow to copy it to the Item text of the PO.
    Can you give some hint on how to do this.
    Thanks.
    Regards,

    Hi
    You can't copy the header text of PR to PO header
    because Sometimes you need to convert different PRs to one PO.So each PR will have different header text, how the system will identify in PO header text.
    So whatever the item text you maintained for PR will be copied to item text of PO if you create the PO with respect to PR.
    So for this reason SAP has not provided the option for link the PR header text to PO header text.
    Hope you understand,

    Hi Ram
    In SWI5 transaction, check whether a work item has got generated for director and VP or not.....
    You will find the work items in SAP Inbox if system has generated a work item for director or VP....
    That will narrow your analysis

    Hi,
    It is possible to change the Material Description while creating PO (ME21N), which will not get recorded as changes for that document. User might have changed during PO creation (in ME21N).
    Or check whether 2nd line item has been added later in PO, in change mode and check Material master changes in MM04. It might also happen that before adding 2nd line item in PO, somebody would have chnaged material description in MM02.

  • Purchase requisition material price

    Hi all
    My understanding is that the valuation price of a material (In my case MAP) is defaulted into the purchase requisition valuation price.
    I have a bit of a funny scenario here. 
    I have a plant WB00 (requesting plant - no stock is kept in this plant) (we manually update the MAP for release purpose on the PREQ)
    I have another plant (SWB0) (Supplying plant - this plant holds stock and seen as vendor.  Requsting plant will create order against this plant).
    I have now activated Split Valuation on plant SWB0.
    I have the following
    Material 1 - SWB0 - Val Type "" - R200
    Material 1 - SWB0 - Val Type New - R300
    Material 1 - SWB0 - Val Type Reclaim - R100
    Material 1 is in Plant SWB0 and Sloc WB52.
    On Plant WB00 there is no Split valuation.
    In the account view of Material 1 in plant WB00, the MAP price is R300.
    When I create the PReq for this material and enter the plant WB00, the price comes as R300.
    However when I put in the Sloc WB52 o nthe preq, it then changes the price on to R200.
    I require it to stay at R300.  What could I be doing wrong.
    Thanks

    Thanks
    But as you will see, that is not happening.
    The MAP price on plant WB00 is R300.
    When I create the purchase requisition it initially has R300, but when I populate the sloc, it changes the price to R200. I cannot understand why.
    R200 is the average price on plant SWB0, and Plant SWB0, SLOC WB52, is the supplying plant for the material.
    It seems to be taking the price from there, which is WRONG.
    WB00 should be independant?

    hi,
    > I strongly recommed you to not to change the field settings for the requirement....Because if you this, then you may face problem in near by future...
    > For eg:

    For your requirement, i think you shd take the help of ABAP consultant...
    This is because, you can ask the ABAP consultant to make the new field to enter the general text for the normal standard PO and even when you press enter this field will not affect...and don't make the above field as display...

    hi Diptasya,
    I think for consumable PO ie. with account assignment catagory, we can NB document type and Do use NBF indirectly i suppose....
