Extend material description

Hi Guru's
1.How can i extend material description from 18 chracters to 40 characters?
2. How can i change the customer into BOLD?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Govind.

HI
WITH RESPECT TO WHAT (bdc,script AND report) you are asking this?
In report output we can't increase/change the font.
Only in Scripts/smartforms we can change the font of the customer.
Extending the material description
Generally Material description is 40 characters.
See it may be displayed only for 18 characters previously due to space or sometother problem
if you want you can increase the space for it to 40 char and write and see

In PM order, can we change the material description for item category N?

Hi,
In Plant Maintenance work order, is there a way to change the material description while purchasing material (item category N) using a material master number? In config. the material description field is open for input. However on the work order components screen it becomes grey as soon as one enters a material master number.
Background: We want to maintain generic material master records in the system and use them for purchasing materials (item category N) on work orders so that the purchasing data defaults from the material master. But we need to be able to change the description per the specific requirement.
Similar functionality works on sales orders. Are we missing anything?

Hi there,
One solution would be to have some generic materials created and used them during work order processing. These generic materials needs to be extended to all the required plants.
Hope this works,
Cheers !!!

Material Description getting truncated in LI04 print

Hi All,
When we print Physical Inventory document in LI04 and using standard report RLLI0400 the system takes on 20 char in material description and truncates rest of the description.
However SAP given Note 538759 - Modif.note to extend material Desc. in report RLLI0400, which is a modification note to allow a 40 char description to be displayed.
We have carried out the correction as per this note still system is printing only 20 chars, did any one used this note, or any subsequent notes are required. Pl let me know.
We are using ECC - 6.0.
Thanks in advance

Can pl tell me little more detailed on what you done and how u running transactions to let this report show complete material description.

Change material description at plant level

Hi,
can material description be changed for only one plant.

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,

Regarding material description length

hi experts,
client needs material description more than 40 chars so how can we extend because in standard table material descp is of 40 chars only.
*can we do with the help of userexit or badi if yes how .........
thnx in advance.

Hi
I don't think it is possible to increase the length of MAKTX more than 40 char.
What for he needs.
If he needs to enter some extra text let him use the Material LONG texts which are available in MM01 etc. (which we can fetch afterwards using READ_TEXT fun module and use )
generally when the lient needs to enter some extra data which is of more length we advise them to do like that.
If the client still insists in the material master of MM01 in SPRO You can try by increasing it.
Because there is no screen exits for MM01.

Material description is not showing in VL10H

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?

Yes there is no issue regarding description maintained in the material master.

> 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,
Material description is showing and remaining materials which have no delivery (showing in green color),
Material description is not being shown.
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 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.

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

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.
