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

Incorrect Language picked for Material Description

Hello,
While creating an order from VA01, under the line items, we are entering a material which has a description maintained in two languages - Chinese and English. We choose the F4 help to get the list of languages. We are selecting English and clicking on ok. But the text appears in Chinese on the VA01 screen although we have selected English.
What could the problem be? We want the text to appear in English when we choose the English description.
Thanks and Regards,
Reena

Hi Reena,
Please check this and update
The system determines the language of the material description in VA01
in three steps (FV45PF0M_MAAPV_SELECT):
DA_SPRAS = KUAGV-SPRAS.            <= comm. language of sold-to
IF DA_SPRAS = SPACE.
    DA_SPRAS = TVKO_SADR-SPRAS.      <= language of sales organization
ENDIF.
IF DA_SPRAS = SPACE.
    DA_SPRAS = SY-LANGU.             <= logon language
ENDIF.
So , you first take the sold-to party language and if a description
of the material exists in this language, you get the material
description in that language.
If no material description is maintained for the sold-to party lang.
the system will use the language of the sales organisation.
If no sales organisation language is maintained, the system will
lastly use the login language.

Customize iw13 for Material Descriptions for one time buys

Hello,
I'd like to make a customer report zpmiw13 using iw13. I'd like it to do everything the same as iw13 except I'd like it to get the material description for the one time buys to show up on the report.
I'm pretty sure this has been done before so I was hoping someone has a code sample I could look at to do this.
Somewhere in the code I need to do a select statement to find the Material Description in EKPO(?) when the Material Number field is blank (one time buy = no material master record).
Any help?
Thanks,
Matt

In this case we are going to use iw12 to show the data.
Thanks,
Matt

Screen Display Language of Material Descriptions in PO vs Output Documents

Greetings Experts,
We have the requirement to display material descriptions in purchase order screens as well as other screens in language dictated by user setting and not the business partner preference. Currently, when we log on as user with English language setting and create purchase order for vendor with a Korean language setting, the material description in the screen is displayed in Korean. So it appears that system ignores the UI preference and displays the material description in the vendor's language/comunication preference. We see this same behavior in other SAP transactions as well. Is there a way for display language for material description to be dictated by user logon preference while retaining ability to output documents that are required in vendor's preferred language?

Hi
The material description will come from the material master record, so whic language you are entering in the material master it automatically pick to the purchasing documents.
If you need material description in different language you can do this in material master itself goto additional data and maintain there.

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.
