  • 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.

  • Printing Material Description in Arabic for Smartform

    Hi All,
    I have created a custom smartform for printing the PO, Sales Invoice.
    The material description is maintained from RTL-Arabic language in Material Master(MM02) - محبس بليه بلاكورين 75م.
    I need to print the above material description alone within the Item window in arabic language as displayed above but it is getting reversed when I see the print preview of PO and Sales Invoice.
    Initially, I got to know from some SDN forum replies that we need to enable Arabic Font in our workstation(PC) so that it can be solved and then some suggested that Arabic font should be installed in SAP system.(Tried both the options, but could not resolve issue).
    Even we tried in SE63 to translate the text but we couldnot.
    SE63->Translation->ABAP Objects->Other Long texts->FS(Forms & Styles)->SSF->Smartform Name->Source/Target Lang->Edit. Window with the english version opens at the top and at the bottom, there is an editable window for translation.
    But I could not further proceed as I didnt know how to do translation for the text elements.
    Correct me if I am wrong in these steps.
    Could anyone suggest me a solution to resolve this issue and explain the steps to do the translation in SE63.
    Earliest reponse will be appreciated.

    Jay,
    Yes we tried using the STRING_REVERSE FM. But the thing is the description contain some numerals in between the text, so it get reversed if we use the FM. So it wont suit our purpose.
    Is there any printer configuration to be done to resolve this issue? Or any other settings within the smartform?
    We have to display the text as maintained in Material Master, the variable get populated correctly while debugging but it get reversed when we look at the print preview.

  • R/3 Material description not replicating in SRM CC-Hubwoo

    Hi experts,
    I have an issue with the material description,
    I dont have much knowlodge in EBP and im new to SRM.
    Material description in R/3 and CC-Hubwoo are not matching.
    Can any body help me regarding the issue.....
    Thanks in advance,
    Krish.

    Hi
    In SRM, use Transaction – SM30
    Go to Table - COMCHIERARCHY_
    Amend the setting so that the following is checked:
    Transfer 60 Character Description
    This will now ensure that the 60 character material group description is replicated to SRM.
    The OSS note (455949) SAP has given us long back works around CRM customizing path.
    *To access it in SRM use SM30 on COMCHIERARCHY to use long description instead of short one.*_
    Use
    In R/3 system - T023T has short description (20 char) and long description ( 60 char ).
    The description in SRM COMM_CATEGORYT has 80 char length.

  • Long Material Number ( 18 symbols) within ECM

    Good Day colleagues,
    We have faced the problem after extension of material number length to 40 symbols. Please see detailed description below.
    Preconditions:
    1) Long Material Numbers (>18 symbols) are used in the system
    2) Note 998183 was installed in the frames of support package SAPKA70017(link: [https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1ydSZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=998183] )
    3) Engineering Change Management component is used.
    Problem description:
    In transactions cc01/cc02/cc31/cc32 when processing long material numbers (>18 symbols) system works correctly only when material exists in the system. When trying to enter non-existent material number (with length>18 symbols) in the change master record, system checks that there is no such material exists in the system and truncates the material number to the length of 18 symbols u2013 in other words it puts truncated to 18 symbols material number in the RC29A-MATNR field of the change master record and that is incorrect. Due to this error system transfers the truncated version of material number to AEOI table (field OBJKT) though this field dimension is 40.
    The same problem appears when trying to process such material (non-existent material with long number>18 symbols) in the BOM tab of the change master record. In this case AEOI-OBJKT field has dimension 40 symbols, but positions 19-22 of this dimension are reserved for WERKS value and 23-40 positions are reserved for alternatives numbers. It looks like this internal structure (AEOI-OBJKT) for BOMs was not extended for long material numbers.
    The goal:
    To have an ability to process correctly non-existent long material numbers (>18 symbols) in the change master record (both in the tabs of Material and BOM).
    Thank you in advance for any proposals.

  • 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.
    also see the OSS notes

  • Hai regarding material description

    hai this is swamy in mm material description possiblitie only 40
    charcters only that is sap standerad so how the material determination shall we give manuall in sales order and in invoice it is possiblie plz give the replay

    Hi,
    For detailed material description, what i suggest is for every difference of description of the material, create a seperate material.
    e.g. for a car, if its black color, white color, give a seperate material number for each one of it.
    if 40 char are less, then what you can do is use abbr. for every material, and store that abbr. of every material in a seperate file so that you can just refer it whenever you require.
    generally long description is used in spare parts and services, so use abbr. and make it conv to use it.
    hope this would help, plz clarify if further problem occurs.
    regards,
    Siddharth.

  • Can not see long text description of a characteristics in portal

    Hi experts,
    I designed two queries via Query designer and published them to portal but I can not see the the long text description of "Name" attribute belongs to 0BPARTNER characteristics.
    One of the queries shows only the last name of partner in portal while it is showing full name and last name in Bex Analyzer. The other query shows only the key value in both portal and Bex Analyzer.
    I want to see long text description in both queries.
    For an additional information, I'm extracting data from CRM 5.00 to BW 7.00
    What will be the reason for this and how can I solve it?
    Can anyone help me for this issue, it's a kind of emergency situation.

    Hi,
    we have the same problem.
    We want to change <b>only</b> in the screen variable the hierarchy text (from default to long\medium text) but even if there's a possibility to do this, really it doesn't happen anything - it' s possible when you start query, in the selection screen inside every the variable there's a command "User Settings" in which manage what you want to see (I put display custom, as text, medium text).
    I try to do this also in query analizer, selecting variable (hierarchy) and enter in this (user setting), changing in display custom as text - medium text, but even if I save this settings, really doesn't happen anything.
    It seems the system isn't sensitive to this selection...
    By now, if someone has an answer, please write us!
    Thanks in advance,

    2.click on label Edit -> Show/hide delivery.

    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,

    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.

    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.
