Material group long description

In the item overview section of a PO we're only able to see the short description of a material group when a search is done. However, when we go to the item detail section of the PO and do a search on the material group field there, we get both the short and long description. Is there a way to get both the long and short descriptions when you do a search on any material group field?

Hi Eric;
I'm in version ECC 7 - and both the short/long description are available at the item search by material group in the PO. What version are you on? Have you looked through SAP Notes (p.k.a. OSS Notes) for the patch that may resolve this issue?
Good luck!

Show Material Group Long Description in SRM Product Category ?

Hi,
We have entered Short and Long Decriptions for Material Groups in R/3 and we have run the replication too. We want to show the Long Description of the Product Category to the users on the web screens.
We know there is a setting in SRM to do this but we don't know what it is.
Please let me know if any one has idea.
Thanks
venkatesh p

Hi Venkatesh,
You can only transfer one of the two descriptions, if you want Long desc, go to
SM30
COMC_HIERARCHY
NEW ENTRIES
SELECT TRANSFER 60 CHAR DESC.
Thanks

Material group search list

Hi Expert,
I have a very simple problem but i cannot find the solution.
When we go to MM03, we are able to search material code by material description for eg: place your cursor on the material code field, press F4 and enter " jett ", list of description with JETT will come out regardless it is capital or small letter.
But however, if you search for material group list, for eg: place your cursor on the material group field,press F4 and enter " raff ", it will only list out the material group and description with "raff" . Other material group desc which also contains of raff but with capital letter will not come out. Means it is a case sensitive. Is this standard or we can set it somewhere so that it can ignore case sensitive, just like material code and material description?
Thanks,
Crystal

Hi Crystal,
The behaviour you are seeing is per standard design.
For the Material Group, the standard generated search help H_T023
is used. You may see this in transaction SE12.
H_T023 browses through table T023 where all the Material groups are
kept. The Search Help automaiticaly inherits the attributes of the
fields in it from the Data Dictionary.
The Material Group Description Example (WGBEZ) which belongs to Domain
TEXT20, inherits the Case-sensitivty flag from TEXT20 which is set.
The options which exist are as follows: (None of which are Supported
by SAP as standard
- You could change all descriptions for all you material groups to be
Uppercase. To facilitate this, a small ABAP could be written.
- You could create your own Search Help for Material Group, using its
own view, and here specify that you do not want case sensitivity.

Thanks & Regards,
sanjeevkumar

Hi Sanjeev,
If you wanna search for BADIs, you can follow this method:
go to SE80 transaction and select the class/interface CL_EXITHANDLER, then you have to select the Get_Instance method and put a break-point in the following call:
call method cl_exithandler=>get_class_name_by_interface
exporting
instance = instance
importing
class_name = class_name
changing
exit_name = <b>exit_name </b>
exceptions
no_reference = 1
no_interface_reference = 2
no_exit_interface = 3
data_incons_in_exit_managem = 4
class_not_implement_interface = 5
others = 6.
the value of exit_name will give you the name of the BADI that is been call from the transaction. Then you have to execute the transaction MM01 or MM02 and it will stop on each Badi's call.
Regards,
Eric

Language specific replication of material group description not working SRM

Hi All,
We have backend R/3 MM system from which we replicate our materials,material groups. For Italian language the replication of the material groups description is not working. Though the description is available in backend R/3 system when i run the DNL_CUST_PROD1object in R3AS tcode, there is no replication log in SMQ2 but still the Italian language is not replicated into SRM.
There are no logs in SMW01 tcode also.
Please suggest.
Best regards,
Sam

Hi,
As david explained,you need to set the filter for the LANGUAGE field in trascn R3AC3 before replicating the product categories.
In R3AC3 select DNL_CUST_PROD1. Go to table structures tab . Click on the filter next to T023T table. This will take you to the filter tab. Select source site name and filter options. In the field put "SPRAS", in op put "EQ" and in low value the value 'IT"(for italian) . You can also describe a range here instead of individual material group numbers.

R3AS Load Objects - Changing Material Group Descriptions

Hello,
We use SAP ECC6 and SRM 5.
We currently have some R/3 Material Groups descriptions that need changing in our ERP system.
I am concerned with doing this as it appears that the material groups are replicated in SRM in the COMM_HEIRARCHY, albeit that they are not actually used in SRM.
The issue I have, is when using R3AS to load the material groups, which load object should I use to just amend descriptions?
It states in our documentation:
DNL_CUST_BASIS3 - BASIS CRM Online. We use this for the initital load, i.e. a new build
DNL_CUST_PROD1 - Product: Categories. We used this one for new product categories
DNL_CUST_PROD0 - Material Number Coversions. I don't know what this is used for
MATERIAL is for R/3 Material Master. I don't know what this is for
Can someone please advise which load object would be relevant to use, and also clarify what DNL_CUST_PROD0 and MATERIAL is used for.
Many Thanks
Lisa Pallas

Hello Lisa,
Customizing object DNL_CUST_BASIS3: for data as Units of Measurement, currency, etc.
Customizing object DNL_CUST_PROD1: to replicate R/3 product categories
Customizing object DNL_CUST_PROD0: linked to customizing ( IMG: SAP Implementation Guide > SAP Supplier Relationship Management > SRM Server > Master Data > Products > Define Output Format and Storage Format of Product IDs
Business object MATERIAL: to replicate R/3 materials
According to your need, you have only to reload customizing object DNL_CUST_PROD1.
Regards.
Laurent.
