Material Description to be overwritten in PR/PO from material master

Hi,
when we create a PO/PR from ME51n and ME21n the material description field is mandatory hence inspite of making setting as display only  in SPRO the inital screen will except any description and will save it.
Is there any thing else by which the description data can be overwritten from material master so that even if the user enters any xyz description the system overwrites it from the material master.
Regards,
Reena

Hi,
You can very well achieve it by making the field "Material description" a  "Display" field in the IMG path:  Maintain screen layout at document level
However, you have to use the right "Field selection key" to make the screen changes. For eg. for NB purchase order, the field selection key would be NBF and not ME21N.
The field selection key that is applicable for the document type can be found in "Define Document types" img activity.
I have checked this and it works perfectly fine for both PR & PO.
Once you enter the material number in PR (or PO), the material description is brought from material master and then the field is greyed out. (thought initially the matl. description field looks editable).

    Ric,
    LOOP AT ITCDPOS.
    CLEAR V_STLNR.
    V_STLNR = ITCDPOS-OBJECTID+4(11).
    1.Check the records of ITCDPOS.
    2.You are taking a part of OBJECTID and moving it to V_STLNR.Make it sure that any material exists with such a value.
    3.Check the data in object id in cdpos and comapre it with materails in mara table.
    4.check the value of v_stlnr in the where clause of the select statement you are using to fetch the matnr and maktx.

    Hi All,
    I am running the report VL10H and facing a problem, step which is being followed by me, given below:-
    1.Put plant and delivery date and execute.
    2.click on label Edit -> Show/hide delivery.
    3.Chose the field u201CMaterial descriptionu201D from Layout for output field.
    Now here I am seeing that all the materials in this report, having SD Doc i.e. delivery has been created,
    Material description is showing and remaining materials which have no delivery (showing in green color),
    Material description is not being shown.  
    Can anybody suggest me regarding this?

    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,
    Material description is showing and remaining materials which have no delivery (showing in green color),
    Material description is not being shown.
    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.

  • How to prevent error message for material description in MDG material detail screen, when user click on check action

    Dear Experts,

    This message 'Material description is mandatory is displaying with check action only, but not with save or submit after i anhance field property as not mandetory.
    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.

    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

    Table MGEF is the primary table for hazardous material. There is no text table for it.
    Field STOFT holds the description of the hazardous material.
    Now issue is that as no text table is available for hazardoues material , how the description can be available into multiple langauges ? Also if the text is made available in XYZ langauge in this table on login to XYZ langauge ,then it must be also be displayed in english on login with 'EN' langauge .
    Kindly help me in this regard. Also it will be great is someone can tell me how hazardoues material description is maintained in multiple langauages.
    Regards,

    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.

    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.

  • Material description in the SUS vendor screen in MMSUS scenario

    Hi All,
    We are working on MM SUS scenario with SRM5.0 and ECC 6.0 as the backend.
    We are sending the PO and SAR from R3 to SUS. When vendor logs in to create a POR and ASN, he is not able to see the material description rather only material code is available in the screen.
    Same thing for the business object BUS2231 (  for ASN) we are able to see the same in BBP_PD in GUI.
    What could be the reason?
    We are using standard BSP pages for SRMSUS service.
