PO short text overwrite by Contract

Hi,
I am creating a PO for Service which doesnt have a Material Number. I need to refer the Contract number for those buys. When i am refering the Contract, it is overwritting the PO shorttext with what i have maintained in the Contract.
I dont want to happen this. Please advice this on what needs to be done for making this inactive. Thanks in Advance.
Thanks

Hi,
Try removing Contract source object (Target text - Header text) from text linkages under below path:
In case of Header text --> SPRO - Materials Management - Purchasing - Purchase Order - Texts for Purchase Orders - Define Copying Rules for Header Texts.
In case of item text --> SPRO - Materials Management - Purchasing - Purchase Order - Texts for Purchase Orders - Define Copying Rules for Item Texts.

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.

Long Text to Short Text connversion in IW31/IW32

Hi Experts,
I am working on a requirement where I need to overwrite the short text for material description with the long text while creating the maintenance order in IW31/IW32.
Initially I thought of handling this in a implementation of BADI IWO1_PREQ_BADI in method DECISION_COLL_PREQ.
But this this method is gettign triggered when the paurchasing data is being entered and even before the long text is entered.
Once the order is ready to be saved, and once the user clicks on save I want to write this conversion where I can copy the long text into short text overwriting the material description in component tab of IW31/IW32.
Please check and suggest the BADI/userexits for thsi purpose.
Regards
Kishore

Hi Kishore,
Go to transaction SE24, class name CL_EXITHANDLER, go to methods, double click on method GET_INSTANCE.
Set a break point at
CALL METHOD cl_exithandler=>get_class_name_by_interface
EXPORTING
instance = instance
IMPORTING
class_name = class_name
CHANGING
exit_name = exit_name
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.
CASE sy-subrc.
Now run trasaction IW31, press f8 till you reach bfore save button, enter the long text and all, now press the save buttton, control will break if in case any BADi is there(I think there is), exit name and instance will give you the BADI details.
I think this is one of the simplest way.
Thanks and Regards,
Antony Thomas

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.
bullet points. i will freeze the thread.

Service Short Text is not copied creating Req w.r.t Contract

Hi,
When I try to create a req service item with reference to a contract, short text (TXZ01) is not copied from contract to req. The field is open for input and I have to input manually, or I'll get error ME083.
Is here a way to copy short text from contract to req automatically?
Thank you!
Regards,
Jully

Hi,
it could be due to an active user exit like EXIT_SAPLMEREQ_005 or EXIT_SAPLMEQR_001.
Please check your exits.

Using BAPI_PR_CREATE , but failed to overwrite the item short text

As I want to create PR items and rewrite the items' short text,

Now I try to use 'BAPI_REQUISITION_CREATE' to instead of 'BAPI_PR_CREATE'.
But it still fail , it always give a error message like that 'No direct postings can be made to G/L acct.'.

Report is by defualt picking up short text for variable selection screen.

Hi all,
Reports(WAD/BEX) by default pciks short text of the master data , i want it to pick long text ; any idea ?
Thanks ,
Madhav

Hi Madhav,
The BEx query setting made in infoobject can be overwritten by the settings made in the query .
You need to select Long Text in the query for that characteristic.
This setting will overwrite whatever is made in the info object level and so make will diplay the long text.
Hope it helps:)

Transfer of Service master short text from PR to PO

Hi All,
We have a scenario where we use Generic service number to order one time services. Based on the requirement we keep on changing the short text (description) of the service master in PO or Purchasing requisition. The issue is - Short text on generic service master is changed in PR but it is keep on reverting to original short text as in service master while converting PR to PO. .
For Example :
Service master - Code - 100001 - Description - "Generic Corp Miscellaneous Services"
I created a PR, included service no 100001 and changed the description of short text to - "Fixing tiles at foyer". Now when I converted PR to Purchase order service description should transfer to PO. But it is showing as 'Generic Corp Miscellaneous Services'. After investigation I found it is coming from the Contract that is linked with the PR as source of supply. And if I removed the Contract from the source of supply short text transfers from PR to PO. So Contract get precedence over PR.
The requirement is - short text of service master should transfer from PR even when source of supply is Contract. It means always transfer short text from PR to PO not from contract. Is there any user exit/ config or change to ABAP code is required.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi
If you have document management system active in your system and if it the document type of documnet (which you created in CV01N) has link object PO and PR. Surely it will be transafred from PO to PR. But if you have added document in service object in Me52N then it will never go to PO automatically.
Thanks and Regards

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 .

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.

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

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
Gavar

Dear Arpit,
You can use PO Text field for long description of the material.
