MM02: Updating characterstics in PO text and Material description

Hello Experts,
I have a requirement wherein, I have to update the characterstics of a material
to the Po text and Material description as soon as they are changed in MM02.
At present there is a custom program doing the same,but I need to automate it,
directly from MM02.
Please help me with your views.
Thanks,
Sumit Mittal.

Try using the customer exit EXIT_SAPLMGMU_001 for this purpose.
Good Luck!

Service Text and Material PO text

Hi All,
We are facing problems with SAP Texts in ECC 6.0
We have maintained some texts in Service long text and material PO text in respective masters. While creating PO we can change the Material Po Text. But when we try to edit the service long text in PO, system says it is password protected. The same is the case for material PO text while creating PR.
Can some one highlight what is the password for changing the text or how the same can be changed.
Regards,
Prashant Tawde

You can do by using the FM SAVE_TEXT.
Just populate text into table i_tline.

l_wa_thead-tdtxtlines = '1'.

   l_wa_tline-tdformat = c_slash.
   APPEND l_wa_tline TO i_tline.

l_wa_tline-tdformat = c_slash.

Info Record Text and Material Text not displayed in Subcon. PO printout

Hi,
I have this scenario, where the Info record text from Info Record PO text does not appear in Print out but appears in Print preview.
Also the Info record text for standard Purchase order is displayed in Print preview and Print output.
The config settings for texts for Purchase order is the same for Purchase order with no Item Category (Standard) and Subcontracting (item category L).
Also the texts in Purchase order automatically copies in Standard purchase order (adopt button not present) but not in Subcontract purchase order (Adopt text is present).
I have checked the config for copying rule, for Info record text is automatically adopt.
I am unable to identify the missing config for this.
Also the same problem exists for Material text from Material Master PO text is not displayed in Fax output but appears in Print output.
Please let me have your inptus,
Regards, Muthuvel

The solution to this is SPRO->SAP Reference IMG->Materials Management->Purchasing->Messages
->Text for Messages->Define Text for Purchase Order.
Select Texts for Document Item folder - There will be a list by Document Type and Item Category. Make sure there are entries for your combination, otherwise they will not be part of the output message.

                        ( 4700000011 + 00010) = 470000001100010
Text object       EKKO
Text ID             F01
Language          EN
but its failing to fetch the same....I guess the problem is with var6 value...not sure

Text name         &G_ZEKPO-MATNR& ..
Text object       MATERIAL
Text ID           BEST
Language          EN

Purchase order item text and material valuation class

Container element in task item text and task description inconsistent

We use the purchase order release workflow 20000075: Workflow for release of purchase order
The container element Release indicator (&_WI_Object_Id.ReleaseIndicator&) is used in the PO release effected task TS20000168 in work item text (title) and task desription (body text).
When we release the PO a workflow notification is send to the PO creator, the title text shown Release indicator = Z (released) and task body text shown release indicator = Z (same).
However, we do a cancel (undo) to the release of the PO, now when we view the same workflow nofication again the task work item text (title) shown Release indicator = Z (released) and task body text shown release indicator = X (blocked) -latest status.
In this scenario the title text does not updated with the latest release indicator value, the task body text does. Task work item title text and task body text is inconsistent for the release indicator. When we view the workflow notification at this point is confused with the release indicator Z and X (approved in task tile and Blocked in task body text).
Please help how to resolve this issue, any way to make the body text release indicator does not change once the notification is generated??

This is very weird!!!!! I will suggest you to check the binding such that the PO Object is binded from Workflow to Task and viceversa.
Thanks
Arghadip

KE24 and Material Description

Hi,
It is possible to have the Material Description (MAKTX-MAKT) in the KE24 tr., instead of the Product Hierarchy (MARA-PRDHA)?
I have the Product (number) that it is the Material (number), but I can´t see the material description (or product description, in KE24)
Regards
Francisco

Hi
Never tried in KE24... you can change the layout and see if Description field is available
however, in KE30 - you can choose menu Settings > Char Display and choose Key & Description
This will display both mat code and its name

A report for MM where basic list will contain the material no and material

how to develop a report for MM where basic list will contain the material no and material description for the range of material no chosen by user. ...plz help me...how to do this step by step..

Hi Raja,
Firstly declare a select-option for material number.
write a select query specifying the required field and specify a where clause
as
WHERE MATNR IN S_MATNR.
Obviously you will select the records into internal table and so loop that internal table and display the records...
The records will be displayed on the basic list.
Hope this will solve your problem.

Length of Material Description

MM Experts,
is there a way to increase the size of Material Description (now its 40 characters) in material master ?
Cheers
Deepal

If you change any standard feature in SAP ex: Material Code Length, Material description Length etc...
SAP AG will not support at Free of Cost, either they will refuse to support or Charge very high..
So it is better to adjust with the Standard settings/features..
in your case Define a New Item text as Material Description and use the same in the Purchasing output documents..

How to stop material description changed after changing customer on SO

I have updated material description on a SO. However after changing the Sold-to, the material description refreshed back to original.
Anyone knows how to stop system to change material description back to default?

Hi
In standard SAP when we change sold to party in sale order system redetermine prices and taxes but this is new thing for me that system also redetermines material description. Amitesh Anand I have also chcked this in my system and material description is getting changed after changing the customer.
Field is VBAP-ARKTX and you can ask your ABAPER to write the code in userexit MV45AFZZ and
USEREXIT_PRICING_PREPARE_TKOMP. I have checked this system is calling this exit. Give it a try and update the status.
