IW31/32/33 - Maintain Order Text

Dear All,
I am creating one Order using IW31. I have written one FM to change the long text of the item. I used SAVE_TEXT also I tryed to commit that with COMMIT_TEXT. The text is getting saved in table STXH, but when I opend the same order in IW32 or IW33 it is not visible. But strange thing is that, if I maintain 2 lines of text in IW32 and then execute the same program then it shows the text respective text after 1st line in IW32 and IW33.
Can anybody have ever face this probelm

Hello,
it's simple. Table AUFK contains a field named LTEXT. If it's set to 'X', long text will appear. So if you save a long text from transaction IW32, it's set to 'X'.
So, if you work with SAVE_TEXT / COMMIT_TEXT, you should set this field in the corresponding order.

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.

Roberto

Purchase order text that appear automatically in Goods Receipt Automotive

Hello,
I am looking for a possibility to add a text (header or position) to the purchase order
which than later will be shown as a popup for example before posting in Goods Receipt.
E.g.
The purchase order could maintain a text like "when material arrives please immediately advice Mr. xxx" in order to achieve a certain flow of information in the goods receipt area.
I have seen that you can define many different kind of texts wihtin the PO but I hav not managed
to pass this information through to where I need it , i.e. the Goods receipt posting.
Any ideas.
Thanxs, Volker

Hi Volker,
i think this could not be Possible in MIGO.
Since there are no text feilds Defined in MIGo to copy the same.
you can do the same setting in MIRO,Defined in Standard.
so for you Purpose.
You can achieve te same in Print out of the GRN,where we can link the test in PO to the GRN output print.and user after the GRN can proceed with the note in the po.
Again,i believe ,it could be possible to to copy the text to your Feild presnt in the MIGO.
But it is is Abaper activity ,i am not sure of the Posibility we need to check and work wth the tech guy.
Third thing is you need to customize your requirement,so you need again a tech guy for the same.

Purchase Order text

Hi,
What is the use of maintaining Purchase order text while maintaining the material master.
I had maintained some text in the material master ( Purchase order text view ) in MM01
But while creation of PO, i am unable to see the text getting copied in to the item text of the PO.
Please expedite.
RitiG

Hi,
The Purchase order text is exactly that, it is text that can be copied to the Purchase order. But it does not (and should not) replace the item text.
But if you want the Purchase order text to be printed on the PO in the item text area then this is possible, the program that controls the PO printing can be told to use the Purchase order text from the Material in the PO item text instead. But the display on ME23N etc. would still show the item text even though the PO is showing the Purchase Order text from the material master.
So for printing only, it can be done but it can't be done (without user exit etc.) within the PO record itself.

Item text in Purchase Order getting updated with info. record Purchase Order Text

Hello All,
I am working in a roll out project and facing issue in text repeating twice for the line item in the Purchase Order for the new company code for which rollout is happening
Issue:
Item text in Purchase Order getting updated with info. record Purchase Order Text
01) PO Text is maintained in the material master under "Purchase Order Text" tab
02) The PO text that is maintained in material master is getting updated in the Purchase Info. Record
03) When Purchase Order is created, the "Item Text" gets updated in the Purchase Order automatically only for the new company code for which rollout is happening. when printed, this results in the text getting duplicated twice
03.1) this behavior is not observed in the Plants/ Company code that is already Live
Configurations in the system:
The copying rules for the "Texts for Purchase Orders" is
Source Object = "Info Record", Source Text="Purchase Order Text", Fix="*"
We have modified the Purchase Order form to print one of the condition types maintained for calculating the tax. Other than this there is no change to the plants that are already live.
I could not locate any "Purchase Organization" / "Company Code" / "Plant specific configuration.
Am I missing any configuration or where can I look in what is causing this error.
Request help from the experts in the forum.
with Regards,
Dhandapani R

There is no company/purchasing/plant specific customizing for purchase order text.
The customizing copying rules for the "Texts for Purchase Orders" affects all equally .
If the text in the purchase order in ME23N is already filled different to other plants, then you either have a modification in place, or the texts are differently maintained in the referenced data (vendor, material, info record, contract)

Purchase Order text in Material Master

Hi experts,
A material code ( for ex 10000000 ) is opened in plant X and is also extended to plant Y. We want to enter purchase order text in the same material code 10000000 ( thru tcode MM02 ) for plant X only. At present, the purchase order text which we entered for plant X is also depiciting in plant Y for above material code.
Our requirement is that the purchase order text which we entered for plant X should not appear in plant Y.
Please suggest.
Solutions / suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Regds,

Hi,
You can try doing in 2 ways of keeping Purchase order text.
1. If you do not want the text maintained in Plant X and not to maintain the same in Plant Y , you can delete the same in Plant Y and save so that It wont appear.
2. IF you don want the the text to be maintained in Plant Y, You need not extent the purchase order text view in plant Y.

Purchase order text field

Dear Gurus,
I need to maintain text in some materials in purchase order text view in material master through LSMW.
Please tell field and table where this purchase order text is stored.
I have checked some threads also but not clear.
regards
VB

it is explained in docu how to find the text name object and id, and I explained it as well many many times here in the forum.
Please read docu and search threads.
text fields in the Po are subject to customizing, so I cannot give you the text id you have to use.
What speaks against LSMW?
The docu link I gave you is for LSMW, so it certainly works with LSMW
I am using it at least once a month for loading texts to any kind of object.

Purchase Order Text in MM01, MM02 dependant on Planyt ??

Hello,
In SAP standard, the purchase order text in MM01, MM02, MM03 will not be depedant on the plan , Is there any ways or configuration that allows user to create this text dependant on the plan in MM01 ?
Thanks

Hello,
I am afraid I must confirm you, that the System is working as designed.
Although the System asks for a plant when maintaining the Purchase Order Text view, the text is stored at client level and not at plant level.
The basic data text, the inspection text, the internal comment, the material description and the sales text are as well maintained at client level. The only text that can be maintained at plant level is the material memo in the MRP 4 view.
You can maintain plant specific texts in the purchasing info record.

LSMW - Purchase Order Text in Material Master

All MM Experts,
I tired to create simple Batch Input Recording but the screen does not get recorded for Purchase Order text maintenance in mass for article master data. we are maintaining Purchase Order Text in article master data in basic data screen on additional data button under purchase order text tab.
Any suggestion on creating LSMW for purchase order text.

LSMW has a standard direct input for long texts, hence it is not necessary to do a recording.
help.sap.com gives real good help for loading loading long texts with LSMW, further has this been discussed many many times here in MM and in the data migration forum.
try to search a bit, you dont really need more than the words you already have used on the subject to get a good variety of answers

Hi,
Can you pl throw light on the texts in purchase documents.
We have the following types of texts in a PO.
Header texts
Header Notes
Pricing types
Deadlines
Terms of delivery
Shipping instructions
Terms of payments
Warrenties
Penalty for breach & so on.
In Item details we have
Item texts
Info record PO text
Material PO text
Delivery text
What is the difference between the above & where are they maintained if the same need to populated automatically instead of manually typing for every PO.
Thanks in Advance,
Sarja

Hi
Some of the Purcahse order texts can be Copied from the Vendor master, Material master & Inforecords.
If you are using a contract as a reference for the Purchase order then if you maintain them in the Contrcat the same would get copied into the Purchase Order.
In SPRO-> IMG-> Materials Management-> Purchasing-> Purchase Order-> Texts for Purchase Orders-> Define Copying Rules for Header Texts & Define Copying Rules for Item Texts
Here you can maintain the Copying texts from the Source application .
Thanks & Regards

Purchase order texts.

Hi,
what are the purpose of Basic data text (view "Basic data 1"), Purchase order text (view "Purchase order text" ), from the menu Edit, Long Text, Create Text?
Best regards

Basic data text:
You can use this text as you like, for example, to store additional, general information on the material
If a text has not yet been maintained, the system creates a blank text in the logon language. If you want to create a text in another language, choose Create text and specify the language in the dialog box that appears. Then enter your text as required. For more word-processing functions, choose Editor to enter your text in SAPscript. For information on how to use SAPscript, see the SAP library documentation .
Purchase order text:
A purchase order text is a text describing the material in more detail. This text is subsequently copied to purchasing documents (such as purchase requisitions or purchase orders) automatically, where you can change it if necessary. It is valid for all organizational levels, not for a specific plant. You can enter a purchase order text in the material master record in as many languages as you like, though only one text is allowed per language

Production order text

Dear Experts,
We have a process setup to flow STO demand from comapny A, Plant
1 to Company B, plant 2. When MRP runs in the manufacturing
plant2 from company B, it generates a planned order and can be
converted to production order. However we want to link the STO
and production order. so that we can identify against which STO
we are produced the goods. We dont want to use account
assignment in STO as it could lead to production settlement
problems. So is there a way that we can copy STO number into my
production order text field and then we should be able to get it
onto shopfloor docs and labels. Please advice
Thanks

Hi,
Why do you think that the text is required for production order..???
What is the requirement to have material text in production order..???
You can maintain the text for production order in "long text" tab in production order screen.If u want bring the material text to production order it has to be done through either user exit or some BAPI.

Sales order texts - only printed correctly on repeat print out

Hi all,
We have an issue, where on the first printout through VF31 of a sundry billing document, the material sales text maintained in French is not printed, even though the language in the customer's master data is French, the material sales text in the sales document is maintained in French and in VOTXN the access sequences are maintained for all languages.
I first checked this post Sales order text determination which unfortunately didn't resolve the issue (although a very interesting discussion).
The strange part is, when we do a repeat print out through VF31 selecting procession mode 2 (Repeat Processing) the document is printed WITH the material sales texts correctly. For me even stranger is that the repeat printout uses the same output type as the initial printout. I am now officially lost. Would any of you have any idea, where the issue lies here?
I would try to change some setup in VOTXN, but knowing that the repeat print out does print the texts correctly, let's me think there might be a different issue.
Any idea are very welcome.
Thank you in advance!
Alexis
Edit: when we copy the text and make it "Dutch", for some reason it's printed out correctly on the first printout. Although I cannot find any restriction, where Dutch is specified specifically, nor do I see where French is excepted specifically.

Guys --
Thanks for the help!
Suda -- will try out your suggestion. Gordon - in answer to your question, we actually go from Sales Order to A/R Invoice (Draft) to A/R Invoice.
We use the A/R Invoice (Draft) as our packing slip and skip Delivery module altogether.
I realize this is a bit unconventional but seems to work best for our business practice.
Thanks!
Mike
