PO Line Item Short Text to be Restricted to English

Hi ,
Whenever the user tries to change the short text (material description) in the PO line item(TCode ME22N), we want to put a check that the descriptions should only be in english. At the same time if the user wants to extend the short text to make it more descriptive and relevant he should be allowed to do so as long as the user uses english  or numbers.
How do we achieve this?
Thanks in advance.
Mick

Thanks Anji.
But what is required is say for eg PO No 90012345, line item 10 the material no is 100123 and the short text (Material Description Table EKPO Field TXZ02) is "Place Holder".  now the user changes the short text in ME22N to "Place Holder Dry Cont" and then saves the PO. Now if the extension to the short text is in english then the PO should get saved (in this case it is in english ie "Dry Cont"). If the short text is not in english or contains any characters in language other then english the short text saved should be the original text, in this case "Place Holder".
How do we acheive this?
Regards,
Mick

  • Change PR item short text when created from Work Order

    Hello,
    Is there a way to edit the PR item short text when the PR is generated from a Work Order. When we open the PR, the item short text is grayed out.
    We have created Material Master Number for Contract/ BPA items. When we input that particular material number under the components tab on the WO then release it ,it creates a PR. The Material Master description gets transfered to the PR.
    Our issue is that the Material Master is to generic and we would like to change the description on the PR level.
    Is this possible?
    Thanks,

    Hi
    I think neither there is any way to change the Material Description in PR nor its a good SAP Practise as it is having lot of implecations of stocking , physical inventory , reconciliation etc .
    If Item codes are generic suggest if u can use the PR or PO long text to enable the buyer for the procurement & supplier for supply the material as per long text specifications .

    Hi,
         Header Long texts will be different from Line items long text, i think you are passing the long text for line items, so check how the long text is coming in debugger of the sapscript for each line item.
    Look at the Text Element ITEM_TEXT in the Main window of the sapscript. It has the INCLUDE which holds the text you are talking.
    INCLUDE &T166P-TXNAM& OBJECT &T166P-TDOBJECT& ID &T166P-TDID& LANGUAGE &

  • GL Line item text mandatory

    Hi,
    We have a following requirement:
    1. Client needs that during MIGO/MIRO & release to accounting (SD)  transaction, in GL line item text field , standard text should copy i.e. in accounting document, under GL line item field that standard text should populate. Do we have any user exits to meet this?
    2. In all finance transactions i.e. F-02,F-51,F-52,F-53,F-28,F-48, GL line item text field should become mandatory. To meet this, we have written one validation rule that when for tcode Fb01, system should check GL SGTXT field & if found blank then system gives an error message. I would like to know is it viable as a long term solution or is there any other way to meet this requirement??
    Kindly suggest.
    Regards

    Hello mate,
    Standard line item texts or formats for the line item text field can be defined.
    You can define under IMG / FI Global settings / Document / Line Item / Define Text for line items (transaction OB56).  The 4 digit abbreviation (abbr) can then be used when entering a journal line item either by typing "=abbr" or clicking on the dropdown arrow in the text field.
    Text field then is text which is to be copied during the entry of documents in the line item text. The text may contain variables which are replaced in each case by current value.
    Procedure
    In the case of document entry, the text variable is entered in the line item text with prefixed equals sign (=xxxx).
    The corresponding text is then copied automatically
