Material Description in different language

Hi Expertsl
We have to show material description on the label. As of now the label description is displaying in English. Material description is also maintained in a language calledd 'Z1'.
So the present requirement is as below
1. If the material description exists in English language and Z1 language then the 'Z1 language' description is to be shown
2. If the material description exists in English language and not in Z1 languae then 'EN' language description is to be shown.
Please suggest on this with the code if available with you.
Regards,
Rafi

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.

this contradicts the basic principle of consistancy.

How to integrate Material Descriptions with Custom Language codes

I am working on the materials integration - ECC to C4C.
The material descriptions have additional custom language codes (Z1, Z2, etc) to store additional descriptions.
1. How can we adjust our integration in C4C to take those additional descriptions ?
2. Specifically, can we even create custom language codes Z1, Z2, etc ?
3. Will the integration (mapping, idocs, webservices) need any adjustment for extra language values to pass along ?
Thanks ahead,
TC

Hi Tim,
in the integration ECC to C4C only ISO language codes are supported. Furthermore custom language codes cannot be created in C4C. In your case you have to store the additional information in the C4C material master using extension fields.

Different descriptions in different languages

Hello,
Can somebody tell me whether is is possible to have a different description when a user uses a different langauage and if so, how to set this up?
What I mean is: We will be using PeopleSoft in 4 languages (English, dutch, french, german) and we want to have our values to have a description addapted to the language.
For example a user signing in as dutch should have the account descriptions in dutch, a user signing in in french should have his descriptions in french etc.
Kind Regards,
Stijn

If this is a delivered record where you have description stored, then it should have a related language record attached (look into record properties in application designer).
when creating these accounts, you should login into peoplesoft in different languages and change the description according to the language for the same account. This will populate the related language record (you can also do this by SQLs).
If this is a custom record, then you will need to attach a related language record to this and then populate it with right values following the same approach as above.
Once the related language record is populated with the right values, you should be able to see translated values when logged in with a language other than the base language(which in a normal installation is always kept as english)

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.

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.

Ramana
