Hi
06474 is a MM-PUR error . It will also have effection to MM prochase order process.
Error message 06 474 with item category W and M contracts occurs if the
material on the PO has the same short description (text) as a non-stock
item from the referring contract.
If you change the description of your short text on the PO item (ex.
text1) or you insert a material master with a description the error
message will not appear.
The error message that is generated is part of standard functionality.
It is designed to prevent you from having a duplicate material.

is the same as the short text on the contract (KEKPO-TXZ01) and the
contract is item category M (PSTYP-MUNB) or W (PSTYP-WAGR) then the
error is generated.
You can set the message to 'W' in SPRO t-code:

I hope this information will help you.

Note 371796 - Msg 06474: Please specify short text more precisely
ME21N, ME22N, ME23N
Message 06474: "Please specify short text more precisely" for a purchase order with reference to a material group contract.
Additional key words
ME21, ME22, material description
Cause and prerequisites
In the new transactions for the purchase order, the system displays the message for a material group contract with reference, which is correct, if there is an assigned material without a material number and the short text, which was copied to the purchase order from the contract to help you, was not changed to the actual material text. In this case, the short text of the material should be more specific in the purchase order than that for the material group in the contract.
For situations in which the specification of the purchase order text does not need to be checked, the message could be made adjustable in Customizing.
In Transaction ME21 and ME22, the text is not copied and must be entered manually. However the system then no longer carries out a check.
Solution
For situations in which the specification of the purchase order text for contracts with the item category material group should not be checked, this note enables you to set error message 06474 in Customizing.
See the advance corrections.
any impacts what itcause damage to business.

Upgrade to SCM7.0 DP info objects (Characteristics) long/short text issue

Hi All,
We have upgraded from SCM4x to SCM7.0. The info objects characteristics customized long and short text is not updated in SCM 7.0.
Example: Info object 9ALOCNO standard long/short text is APO location. But in SCM4x they have changed to Plant. After upgrade this text is set to APO location, not the plant. Like this many chars text have been changed to SAP standard.
When I try to change text of info object creates transport request.
Is this standard behavour when we upgrade?
Please share your thoughts and let me know for more information.
Thanks,
Sreeni

Sreeni,
With every upgrade the customization is lost. We will have to make a list of all customized objects and make the change again in the upgraded system.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Uploading Short Text Attachments to Assets

Hi,
I need to develop a script for batch uploading short text attachments to Assets in Oracle Applications. I googled and find there are a number of API recommended but I'm not sure which one is better/correct, need only 1 of them or a combination of some of them.
So far I found these API mentioned in blogs and posts:
1. FND_ATTACHED_DOCUMENTS_PKG.Insert_Row
2. FND_DOCUMENTS_PKG.Insert_Row
3. FND_DOCUMENTS_PKG.Insert_tl_row
4. OE_FND_ATTACHMENTS_PUB.CREATE_SHORT_TEXT_DOCUMENT and OE_FND_ATTACHMENTS_PUB.ADD_ATTACHMENT
Can anyone share their experience of using API to upload attachments? Thanks a lot!
Best Regards,
klai

Thanks,
HusseinThanks Hussein,
I modified the script from the first link and successfully upload the short text. I just have 1 more question:
After the upload, the short text is in view only status. Is there any parameter in the script I can change so after the upload the text attachment can be edible?
Many thanks!

Updated:
I solved it now. I set the x_usage_type to 'O' then I can edit the text. Thanks!

Texting more than 160

Maybe this has been answered but i cannot find it through search. When will BB support auto brakin up of sms texting longer than 160 characters. I have 6 smart phones in my family, all from different manufacturers plus another for my work and all of them will automatically send out any sms message longer than 160 characters as seperate texts with a 1 of 2, 2 of 2 listing. No annoying field is full message. I know beyond 160 can be purchased but this should be fixed already. Does version 5 OS resolve this? If so i will have to wait for sprint to get off thier butts and approve it for the BB curve. Thanks

Anyone who's texting more than 160 characters is either using a third-party app (such as is available in AppWorld) or is using BlackBerry Messenger. The 160 character limit is a carrier-imposed limitation which is pretty much industry-wide (the shorter the messages, the more messages need to be sent, the more money they make).
I'm not sure of any such apps by name, but if you go to AppWorld and search under IM & Social Networking>Instant Messaging, you should find some that will accomplish getting around the 160 character limit. I believe what they do is to split your long message into two smaller messages, but atleast it saves you from having to stop typing after 160 characters.

Enter short text error when creating a purchase requisition using ME51

Hello
I would be grateful if someone can help. I am currently trying to raise a purchase req using ME51. The purchase req is for one item so i enter details of this item on line 1. However when i try to save the purchase req i get an error message stating "enter short text" on line 3 and it does not let me continue. Line 3 however does not contain any item information so i dont understand why i am getting this error message.
Another user created the same purchase req and it worked fine for them so i am not sure why i am getting this message.
I would be grateful if you can please help.
Thank you

Error: "Message short text 26 107 does not exist"

Hi DS Expert,
We've upgraded our DS from 3.2 into 4.2.
But sometimes several jobs fail with error: "Message short text 26 107 does not exist".
This error does not occur in DS 3.2.
Please help...
Thank you.

Hi,
Such a message seems to be SAP/BI related.
check wether you had shortdumps in your connected SAP system.
In DS there are no "long/medium/short-" texts stored.

If we can increase the length of the Short Text field in a purchase order?

Hi Experts,
Please suggest if we can increase the length of the Short Text field in a purchase order?
If yes, How? and what will be the impact?
Thanks

Dear Arpit,

Make short text field in Purchase order creation only display..

Sir,
Yeah my requirement is quite unusual, but such is the situation.
I want to make the short text field in purchase order creation "only disply". what is happening is that user while creating PO is able to change the text of material in short text column. I want to make it only for display.
Can it done on document type level, since for service type, and Text type of account assignment cat, only text field is filled up. so how to do it.
Please assist...
Rahul

Dear Rahul,
If you want to have the short text display only for standard item but not service item, you may check below customizing.
Transaction SPRO:
MM-PUR-PO
-> Define screen layout at document level
Field Selection group: Basic Data, Item
Field Selection Key: PT0F Standard item purchase order
Field: Short text -> set as display
Hope this help.

Display GL Account Short Text in FBL3N report line

Dear all,
I have one issue here. I would like to display the GL Account Short Text while executing report FBL3N.By default system will display each GL account and it's short text at the header before the list of all entries for the specific GL account. But user would like to have it at every line item (in the table line) in the report. This is because they need it during excel extraction.
May i know how do i go about this?
Many thanks.

Hello,
Please check the following.
You cannot assign vendor or customer number to sales/purchase GL account with standard settings.
You must do some development for it.
You can add additional field to FBL*N reports with using BTE exit.
First of all, if you don't use BTE before, you must create a product on FIBF.
Call FIBF transaction -> Settings -> Products -> ...of a customer
Create a new line,
Product: ZFI
Text: BTE Products for FI Exit
Product active: tick checks from activation.
Then you must call SE11 for structure RFPOS.
You must use append structure function for this structure and you can define ZFI_RFPOS append structure
Define 4 fields.
Component: KUNNR - Component type: KUNNR
Component: NAMED - Component type: NAME1
Component: LIFNR - Component type: LINFR
Component: NAMEK - Component type: NAME1
Then save and active your RFPOS structure.
After that, you must do same step for structure RFPOSX.
Then go to SE37 and copy from SAMPLE_INTERFACE_00001650 to ZFI_INTERFACE_00001650 FM.
After copy action, you must uncomment this line on ZFI_INTERFACE_00001650 FM's source code. It's very important;
E_POSTAB = I_POSTAB.
Then you should add some ABAP code for getting customer & vendor details.
I give you some examples, you can use it. (Next message on this thread, please check)
Then save and active FM.
Call FIBF transaction again.
FIBF -> Settings -> Process Modules -> ...of a customer
Define a new line.
Process: 00001650
Function Module: ZFI_INTERFACE_00001650
Product: ZFI
and this customizing.
Then you go to SE38 transaction.
start report RFPOSXEXTEND. After starting, a pop-up appears, you must click YES.
After those operations, you can see customer/vendor code and their names on FBL3N.
ABAP source example,
TABLES : bseg, kna1, lfa1.
IF sy-tcode = 'FBL3N'.
CLEAR: bseg.
SELECT SINGLE *
FROM bseg
WHERE bukrs = i_postab-bukrs
       AND belnr = i_postab-belnr
       AND gjahr = i_postab-gjahr
       AND koart = 'K'.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
    e_postab-lifnr = bseg-lifnr.
    CLEAR: lfa1.
    SELECT SINGLE *
    FROM lfa1
    WHERE lifnr = bseg-lifnr.
    IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
      e_postab-namek = lfa1-name1.
    ENDIF.
ENDIF.
CLEAR : bseg.
SELECT SINGLE *
FROM bseg
WHERE bukrs = i_postab-bukrs
       AND belnr = i_postab-belnr
       AND gjahr = i_postab-gjahr
       AND koart = 'D'.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
    e_postab-kunnr = bseg-kunnr.
    CLEAR: kna1.
    SELECT SINGLE *
    FROM kna1
    WHERE kunnr = bseg-kunnr.
    IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
      e_postab-named = kna1-name1.
    ENDIF.
ENDIF.
ENDIF.

Hi,
Use FM 'READ_TEXT' to get this values.
Say for exampele my material is 1900001 and batch is 0000000517.
Then my parameters to the FM will be as follows:-
Text Name       000000000001900001    0000000517
Language        EN
Text ID          VERM
Text Object     CHARGE
This information you can get as follows.
Open the short text window in the text editor.
Here you can enter the long text.
In the editor Go to Header and you will find the details.
Please note that the text name will comprise of
Material
Batch
Plant
Stor. Location
if all the details are given.
I hope this helps you.

Service Entry Sheet Short text in GR accounting document

Hi All,
Once we Accept the Service Entry sheet then a material document will be created in background.What ever text we are assigning in SHORT TEXT (ESLL - KTEXT1) will automatically appearing in Material document in "WHERE" tab TEXT field.
I think this is a standard functionality in ECC 6.0.
Whereas in previous versions the short text in the ESSR - TXZ01 field will appear in material document.
We are using ECC 6.0 but the text is not appearing in GR.. Hence please advice what are the things to check to resolve the same?
Thanks & Regards,

Hi,
there was no new development in the release 600 in this concern.
In case of service based inv. verif. (EKPO-LEBRE) used in the PO item the short text of the service item (ESLL-KTEXT1) should appear in the material document.
If this indicator (EKPO-LEBRE) is not set then the text from SES
header (ESSR-TXZ01) is transferred to all GR document items and
FI document items.
In the case when in the PO item EKPO-LEBRE is NOT set so the text from the entry sheet header should be transfered into the material document.
Regards,
Edit

Please specify short text more precisely
