Language specific material

Hi
Is it possible to have language specific stock in a plant? As per the issue, an order has to be created in CRM for a material which has more than one language specific stock i.e. 100 qty in english , 100 qty in french.
when tried its taking the sold to party languaged in the order. is it the only way?
Thanks and Regards,
Manu

Hi Manu
Yes you can very well maintain language specific stock. While creating material in above Basic Data-1 there is additional data button, maintain only the language for which that material should belong to. You can maintain multiple languages for a material.
Now while creating sales order if you search for material with match code using language you will get the list of only those materials where the mentioned language is present under the additional data button as maintained in the above description.
In case you maintain language EN for three materials you will get the list of all three in sales order while searching for material with language EN and if there is only one material of language FR then only that one will be shortlisted while searching for material with language FR.
I hope this is what you were looking for.
Thank You
Vinayak.M.G.

How to enter customer specific material description

Tried MM02 - basic data for Language EN, but then all customers with language EN get this description.
Tried MM02 - Sales Text but then all customers created in this salesorganization get this description.
Would like to enter customer specific material description. Unfortunately VD52 is limited to 35 characters, need about 80 characters.
Regards Andy

Thanks RAF,
I noticed I needed to use the button addtional text as well in VD52, though this is limited to 72 characters and not unlimited. Now I'm facing the issue that the commercial invoice is not printing all characters defined in this field, so probably have the layout increase field length.
Thanks for the help.
If there is another solution to define a Customer specific materail description then mentioned above I would like to know.
Regards Andy

Issue with language specific characters combined with AD-Logon to BO platform and client tools

We are using SSO via Win AD to logon to BO-Launchpad. Generally this is working which means for Launch Pad no manual log on is needed. But this is not working for users which have language specific letters in their AD name (e.g. öäüéèê...).
What we have tried up to now:
If the AD-User name is Test-BÖ the log on is working with the user name Test-BO with logon type AD
If the logon Type "SAP" is used than it is possible to use the name Test-BÖ as the username
Generally it is no problem in AD to use language specific letters (which means it is possible to e.g. log on to Windows with the user Test-BÖ)
It is possible to read out the AD attributes from BO side and add them to the user. Which means in the user attributes the AD name Test-BÖ is shown via automatic import from AD. So it's not the problem that the character does not reach BO.
I have opened a ticket concerning that. SAP 1th level support is telling me that this is not a BO problem. They say it is a problem of Tomcat. I don't believe that because the log on with authentification type SAP is working.
I have set up the same combination (AD User Test-BÖ with SAP User Test-BÖ) as a single sign on authentification in SAP BW and there it is working without problems.
Which leads me to the conlusion: It is not a problem of AD. It is something which is connected to the BO platform but only combined with logon type AD because SAP Logon is working with language specific characters.

I have found this article with BO support:
You cannot add a user name or an object name that only differs by a character with a diacritic mark
Basically this means AD stores the country specific letters as a base letter internally. Which means that if you have created a user with a country specific letter in the name you can also logon with the Base letter to Windows.
SAP-GUI and Windows are maybe replacing the country specific letters by the base letter. Due to that SSO is working. BO seems not to be able to do that. Up to now the supporter from BO is telling me that this is not a BO problem.
Seems to be magic that the colleagues of SAP-GUI are able to to it.

FREE check box in PO should be selected by default for specific material

Hi All,
We have a check box FREE in PO creation - ME21N in the item row which is selected when ever we want the vendor to supply those items as free.
- I have a list ot items which are supplied freely by the vendor which I have to mention in the PO. My requirment is when ever the specific material is in the PO the FREE check box should be selected by default. Is it possible?
Please advice.
Thanks ,
Vengal Rao.

Hi Vengal Rao,
I don't think there's such flag in the material master. As far as I know any material can be supplied either free or chargeable - the buyer has to choose the applicable option it in each specific PO.
If however in your business case certain materials shall always be supplied as free, then you can use the BAdI that I mentioned above to analyse which material is being procured and set the FREE flag in the PO accordingly.

How do I surface language specific texts in Integrated ITS?

Hello all,
I'm new to both stand alone and integrated ITS and am researching the upgrade process. In our stand alone templates we used htrc files with our html templates to show language specific texts.
Example.
html template code for a field label
`if (i==2) DETAIL-FLABEL[2]= #KAFN end`
htrc name value pair
z_pz01_en.htrc
KAFN Known As First Name
z_pz01_de.htrc
KAFN Bekannt unter dem Vornamen
I see no hint that htrc's can be used in integrated and am not seeing anything in the way of resource based language texts in integrated. I think I've hit every document out there yet, I have a feeling I'm missing something obvious. Your help is appreciated.
Doug

Edgar,
Thanks so much for the detail!
I have run through the steps for manual creation of translations as well as SIAC_UPLOAD of htrc files and have it working and documented. I will add a few more findings here for others who find this post later.
Some of our old htrc files had duplicate keys (probably from original German version). In stand alone ITS the last key in the file was used so this didn't matter. In integrated ITS this matters for 2 reasons.
1 Uploading/Converting htrc files having logged in in English will cause failures if any of the text being entered in the service parameters has characters that arent consistent with the codepage being used for EN. (Ex. back Azureück). Clean up htrc files to use only the language they should contain.
2 Stand alone ITS was forgiving of htrc files containing duplicate keys. Integrated ITS is not. Remove all duplicate keys.
3. This one is obvious but... if parameters have already been entered in another language you may be prompted to confirm you are changing language and there are several prompts along the way. As these prompts will appear in the logon language itu2019s important to eitheru2026
a. Be fluent in all supported languages , oru2026
b. Memorize button and menu positions.
I do have one additional question.
Our old stand alone setup had an alternate corporate "APCI" design that we used...
File system view -
hostDEV_WWWmimesdesigns"apci"webgui as opposed to the out of box
hostDEV_WWWmimesdesignssap_streamlinewebgui I suppose.
I believe this was then referenced in the global services file ~DESIGN="APCI"
I'm starting research to understand if there is an analog to this in the integrated webgui service or precisely what I have to do to accomplish alternate styles for webgui and our Z_services.
Thanks again, points on the way, If I could award more I would.

508- Document Properties - Disabled ..."All of the text on this page lacks a language specification"

Hi,
When i try to do 508 check. I got the following error message
"All of the text on this page lacks a language specification'
I checked "FILE=>Document Properties". All "Document Properties" are disabled.
We are using Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES2 to create this dynamic for and save it as static PDF file.
Still, we have same issue. I am not sure, how to change or setup the language in adobe livecycle designer es2.
thank you,

Ah, I don't know that. "Tables" is a collection, not a simple array, and some careless experimentation shows that you cannot simply use .concat to paste them together.
I'm pretty sure I've seen a couple of workarounds for a situation like this. Perhaps it's time to read "[CS3][JS] everyItem() and getElements()" -- i.e. Marc Autret's blog posts about this, at the end of that thread.
That is, if you stick to using everyItem()! Perhaps it's easier to build an array "the old fashioned way". This code is based on my earlier assumption you had textframes-in-textframes, but you can rewrite it to cater for groups as well:
t = app.layoutWindows[0].activePage.textFrames.everyItem().tables;
tableList = [];
for (i=0; i<t.length; i++)
tableList.push (t[i]);
t = app.layoutWindows[0].activePage.textFrames.everyItem().textFrames.everyItem().tables;
for (i=0; i<t.length; i++)
tableList.push (t[i]);
alert (tableList.length);

Problem with language specific letters in Translation Builder editor

Hello,
I'm trying to translate some reports from Slovenian to Croatian using OTB, but as soon as I scroll up or down through translation form some Croatian language specific letters (čćžšđ) either convert to c (čć) or d (đ) or become "unreadable" (šž). The latest (šž) are displayed correctly on the report when strings are exported back to RDF file.
According Troubleshooting section in OTB help I tried to change both base and translation font but with no success.
Any experience, any hint or trick?
Thanks in advance.

Naveen,
This is more of a portal problem.
First, you should submit an OSS message to get the <b>best support possible</b> from SAP.
Second, if you don't like that solution, THEN come back and post it on SDN. You will get better answers in the Enterprise Portal forum here on SDN.

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.

Duty calculation for import PO for a specific material group

Hi All,
As per company requirement, we need to do changes in duty calculation for import PO for a specific material group.
Current scenario : Currently duty calculating on MRP with abatement 35% ( We have ABTT condition @ 35% of MRP).
For example:
Material: ABC , Basic Price = 1000, MRP = 2000 and duty is 10%
Duty Amt = 2000(MRP) - 700(35% ABTT) *10%(Duty) = 130
Cess 2 % = 2.6
Ecess 1 % = 1.3
Total duty = 133.9
This duty (133.9) paid to custom vendor and loads in material cost.
New Requirement: For vendor payment purpose duty should be calculate as above but for material cost should be calculated on Basic price.
For Example:
Material: ABC , Basic Price = 1000, MRP = 2000 and duty is 10%
Duty Amt = 1000(BP) *10%(Duty) = 100
Cess 2 % = 2
Ecess 1 % = 1
Total duty = 103 ( It should load in Material cost)
New Condition Diff Duty Amt = (1300-1000)*10% = 30
Cess 2 % = .6
Ecess 1 % = .3
Diff Duty Amt = 30.9 ( It should not be added in material Cost)
Paid to custom vendor = 103 + 30.9 = 133.9
Kindly suggest how to achieve this.
Regards
Jitendra

Hi,
   Please check whether the requirement is logical or not. Did you check the requirement with your accounts team?
   If you have different duty calculation for MIGO and MIRO, how the GL accounts will get balanced? As of my understanding, the requirement is clearly not logical.

Purchase order : sales order specific material to subcontractor.

I want to send a cir specific material to a sub contracting vendor.
Scenario:
Sales Order punched for material A.
To get material A a sub contracting purchase order is made specific to sales order.
Material B is there in the BOM of material A.
Material B is also purchased from other vendor say vendor B with sales order specific purchase Order.
when doing GRN for Material B it is sales order specific.
now i want to transfer material B to vendor specific stock which is already . Can u help how should i do this as my material B is also sales order specific.

Create the sales order for Material A
than this reqmt will be transfer to MM and if the stock is not there than it will be a requirement of Material A in MRP
now if you have set up material A as sub contracting in MRP2 view as Special procurement Key Sub contracting than based on this system will generate the Sub cont PR and mateiral B is part of MAterial A BOM than MRP will, also generate the requirement for Materisl B as external procurement
convert Mateiral B pr into the PO and make delivery address as sub contractor rather receivng in your system.
that way you can deliver mateial B directly to the vendor and once vendor send oyu the Material A than do GR which will consume the material B.

Block a vendor from supplying a specific material to the company

Hi
Can anyone let me know how to block a vendor from supplying a specific material to the company.The PO must not go through for that specific combination of Material and vendor.The vendor is allowed to supply all other material except that.The PO must give a response that this material for this vendor is blocked.
Sundarachellam

Hi
When You want to block aspecific Vendor material Combination ...
There sis provision of Quality infor record where you can block the materila from speific Vendor for PO or GR or RFQ
For this you have to maintain QI through Tcode: QI01
Enter Material -vendor-Plant
In release tab Enter date till which this vendor material combination is valid.
Bellow that there is block condition
Here you can totally block or block for a PO.

Planned order is creating before planning bucket for a specific material.

Planned order is creating before planning bucket for a specific material.
Eg: Planning Bucket future: 12 months & Start date- 01/02/2012, but Planned order Availability/Requirement date is 12/23/2011.
What causes this, how to fix it? Please suggest u2026
Thanks
Ravi

Since your planning bucket start date is in the future, so this is normal that the system is trying to satisfy the demand in jan2012 bucket by creating a receipt on Dec23, 2011.
Reasons for RECEIPT to be generated earlier is
(1) There might be a FIRM HORIZON( SNP PROD HOR)
OR
(2) There might be a GR time and the system is considering that time
In Customizing for Advanced Planning and Optimization -> Supply Chain Planning -> Supply Network Planning (SNP) -> Basic Settings -> Maintain Global SNP Settings, in the SNP:GR for Plnd Ords field, you have selected Processing Time.
Blank out these times and see if it works, else do one of the following:
(1) Set Period Factor(LOT SIZE TAB of PRODUCT MASTER) to 1, so that the receipts get created at the end of the bucket.
OR
(2) Create your demand at the end of the planning bucket period
Thanks

Putaway Block in Storage Bin for any specific Material Code

Hi Experts,
We have a problem, we have allowed mix storage, addition to stock in the storage type, our requirement is this, that we want to block one bin aa-01-01 for some specific material code xxxxx, but we want to allow putaway other material codes to that bin.
How can we achieve this. Can we use LS07 or some other solution. Please suggest at the earliest.
Regards
Ishu

Hi,
In standard system, you can block one specific bin for the specific material with Putaway strategy "Fixed bin" by maintaining this bin in material master. It is unclear that you set "allowed mix storage" and again required material specific putaway in bin.
You can change "Mixed storage" indicator to blank. Which explains "___" Mixed storage is not allowed
All storage units in a storage bin must contain the same material and batch (one quant).
If you don't want to change any of current setting you'll need to use the user exit and maintain custom table where you can maintain specific bin for the material for the warehouse. After determination of the bin to putaway in the standard code you can check if it is conflicting to the entry in your custom table.
Hope this'll help.
Regards,
Sudhir

Credit Limit by specific Material (product)

Dear Experts,
Could you please suggest me any body how to maintain credit limit by specific material (Product).
Let say Customer Pepsi has 3 products i.e X,Y and Z....pepsi (customer) has credit limit 100 USD. Here the customer credit limit is 100 usd but this customer has that credit limit by product wise that is:
X Product 30 usd
Y Product 50 usd
Z Product 20 USD
When they are creating they wont cross credit limit by product wise even though the customer has credit limit if X product credit limit 20 usd exceeded. Could you please suggest me how to maintain this scenario.
Thanks in advance,
VS

hello, friend.
credit management focuses on the customer. credit info centers on the customer/credit account. materials are not directly controlled by credit management.
however, it is possible to do credit management per material by assigning different divisions to your materials. then, you define and assign different credit control areas to your sales areas. indirectly, materials can then be controlled by the different credit control areas. you can have different credit limits for a customer pre credit control area, all controlled in turn by a central credit limit (total).
however, this is not recommended as it complicates your credit management. it may also pose problems in your sales order processing, despite the ability to process several divisions in the same document.
regards.
