  • Material PO text not copying to Purchase Requisition

    Any assistance would be gratly appreciated...
    When creating a Purchase Requisition (ME51N) text from the Material Master - Material PO Text automatically copies to the Material PO Text of the Purchase Requisition line item - as expected
    However, when a Purchase Requisition is created via MRP, the Material PO Text is not copied from the material master to the PO.
    In config, copy rule is set as follows for PRs:
    Sequence   PR Text                     Source
    01               Material PO Text       Material Master   Set to always adopt
    We have a custom program to print PR data and the material PO text is not showing up when generated by MRP - because the PR itself does not have the text.  We could change the custome code to read directly from the material maste, but would prefer a standard solution to get the text onto the PR.
    Thanks,

    this is SAP design, for performance reasons the PO text is not copied to the requisition in MRP run.
    SAP issued an OSS note about this .

  • Creating structured texts for purchase requisitions

    Hello,
    I would like to know if it's possible to define structured texts for purchase requisitions. By example, the item text would be like this :
    Building :
    Room :
    and the user should only complete the missing information.
    Does anybody have an idea on how to realize this ?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    It is not a simple thing to do.
    The item text comes from the material master (if you are using one) and so you could easily have the text for that as "Building   Room" and the material text can be changed (if you configure the system correctly) so they could just add the information.
    But you are limited to the size of the material text and so many people just use a non-material approach and manually key in the information in the text options rather than the Item text on the requisition line on the main screen. But in this case it is not a standard option to preformat the text as you require.
    It is almost as if configurable materials may help, these use the classification function and so they have characteristics, it would be easy enough to have a characteristic for room and one for building. The user would then be prompted to enter just the values for each and so it would do exactly what you need.
    But I don't have enough detailed experience of configurable materials to know for sure that you could use them like this, perhaps someone who knows them well could confirm if this would work?
    Whatever happens it is not a simple standard option, but SAP is very flexible and so there may be a reasonable work-around option.

  • Incorrect characters in material PO text after upgrade

    Hi there,
    We have just upgraded from 4.6c to ECC 6.0 and have a problem with invalid characters on material PO text.
    On the material master there is a long text description with the character "-". in ECC 6.0, these have been replaced with the character "?" or "#". Also, there are entries such as "&#13;" and "&#10;&#13;&#10;&#13;" included at the end of lines.
    If you manually change the text via MM02, there is no problem, it saves the correct character.
    Does anyone have any ideas what may be causing this?
    thanks
    Donal

    Check the config in Materials Management --> Purchasing --> Purch Req --> Texts for Purch Reqs --> Define copying rules.
    For your text, see the linkage with Material PO text. The fix indicator will be N. This means you cannot change it in PR. Change the config setting to blank and you will be able to change it in PR.
    Hope this resolves,

  • Converting material PO text from Plnd order to Preq after MRP run

    Hello;
    I would like to know how is it possible to convert material long text to the Preq after the planned order is converted into Preq after MRP run.
    I've checked in the text linkages in SPRO but didn't the option for copy rule for plnd orders to Preq.
    Can someone tell me if it's possible, if so how.
    Ibou

    Hi
    There is no settings in standard for this, but this can be achieved by development. SAP does not provides this functionality in standard SAP because of performance issue. Please refer to SAP note 27136 on this.
    To get the text copied, you can ask ABAP programmer to implement Badi MD_CHANGE_MRP_DATA and put a logic to read text from material and copy in PR.
    Hope this will help.
    Thank you

  • Material PO Text in PR needs to be edited

    Hi all, I have maintained Purchase Order Text in the Material master for Material A and hence whenever I create a PR with Material A, the PO text gets adopted from Master, but its not further editable. Is it possible to make this editable after the text has been adopted from the Master.
    Thnx & Regards,
    G. Coelho

    Check the config in Materials Management --> Purchasing --> Purch Req --> Texts for Purch Reqs --> Define copying rules.
    For your text, see the linkage with Material PO text. The fix indicator will be N. This means you cannot change it in PR. Change the config setting to blank and you will be able to change it in PR.

  • Material po text repeating in a table loop for delivery schedules

    Hello,
    i am displaying a purchase order in a smart form. In the main area of the table(where i am displayin the material and the delivery schedules) after displayin the material i have created a loop node in which i am displayin the delivery schedules(against each material). Inside the loop i have a text node in which i am displaying a 'material po text'. What is happening is, the 'material PO text' is repeating for every delivery schedule (cuz its inside the loop, so every time the loop iterates the text is repeated).
    I want to have a condition or an event by which i can display the 'material PO text' once for every material.
    NOTE: the 'material PO text' to be displayed is inside the loop(for delivery schedules)
    i know its a mess , but i hope u have understood ...
    thanks..

    Hii,
    please reward points if the post helps you..
    Ok just forget whatever is written above:
    Just follow the steps below:
    1. declare a global variable called Last_material.
    2. Inside the loop in the text node where you are printing the material PO text -> goto the conditions tab -> give a condition -> itab-matnr ne last_material.
    3. create a code node(program lines) just after the loop node. Assign the material number you are printing(itab-matnr) to Last_Material.
    This should solve your problem..

  • Copy Purchase Requisition - Material Short Text

    When creating a new purchase requisition by copying an existing purchase requisition using the document overview in ME51N, the material short text is always copied from material master (makt-MAKTX) instead of the line item (eban-TXZ01) from the source purchase requisition.
    Is there a way to set up copy control for short texts as there is for long texts ?
    using ECC 6.0
    thanks in advance

    Hello Thomas,
    Unfortunately no, when you copy the PR from another PR the System redetermined some  fields from the material master,these fields are :
    Planned Delivery Time,
    Unit of Measure,
    Material Short Text  
    Goods Receipt Processing Time,
    Material Category,
    MRP Controller...
    This system behaviour is intended since many companies more often change the data in the material master rather than copying a purchase requisition that contains changed material data.

    Mauro

  • Upload of purchase order text in the material master

    Now we have information of Purchase order text for all the material.
    Is it possible to upload the Purchase order text using LSMW.
    Some friends were telling that LSMW is not possible for Purchase Order text.
    Can anyone suggest how I can upload this purchase order text for all 1000
    material using LSMW program.
    /if not LSMW is there any other method to upload it
    thanks in advance
    deepak.s.goura

    Dear Deepak,
    there is standard direct upload i believe
    go to lsmw
    Execute 1st option
    then inLSMW:Object Attribute screen
    in standard batch/ direct input
    firsr radio button
    select object 005
    and method 003
    Program name RSTXLITF.
    Then go by normal process i.e source field , field mapping...
    In this way u can also upload Text in the Material master.

  • Authorisation object for "PO text in the material master"

    Hi,
    My requirement is as below:

    Please let me know, How to map this.
    As per my knowledge thsi is possible only thru authorisation. But I want to know what is the authorisation object for "PO text in the material master" (Pl note that only for PO text in the material master field). we want control on "PO text of material master"

  • Validation for PO text in the material master :- BADI implementation

    Hi experts,
    I am trying to do a validation on the Purchase Order Text (long text) which must always be filled in Language EN and DE.
    Thus if a user tries to edit a material in MM02 or creates a new one in MM01 - this box of long text (PO text) must be filled, else it should throw an error.
    i created a BADI and inside that i am calling the FM read_text , but it check for only existing text already saved in the database.
    WHAT ABOUT THE RUN-TIME (ex creating a material).
    or what if the user purposely deletes an existing PO long text and then tries to save it (database might already have a PO long text saved for that material).
    Kindly help me if there is any FM which can be called to check in the Runtime if the PO long text is filled or if we can do some customizing and make that PO long text Mandatory.
    Please not we need this field mandatory only for only 03 plants, that's where the problem is coming.

    Hi,
    You can maitain the PO text of material master record in english and german. To do this goto POtext view below languages maintained create icon will be there select that give the english language, enter the text in english and save. Again select german and enter the PO text.
    To get the PO text view mandatory , go to SPRO, logistic general, material master, fielld selection,define plant specific feild selection and plant specific screen selection. For 3 plants you can configure here.Hence the POtext view will be mandatory and gives error if not maintained. I hope this will resolve your issue. Thanking you.
