Product Description as alternative ID

Dear All,
Is it possible to make the product description as an alternative ID? and How?
I tried to make a new ID type with Database table COMM_PR_SHTEXT and field SHORT_TEXT but when I click generate type it says that Table COMM_PR_SHTEXT no longer exists or has no field with the name SHORT_TEXT
Regards,
Ahmed

I think you should try to use expert mode for building Alternative id for your requirement.
Select the expert mode in the initial screen , then in the expert mode select the Do Not Generate check box.. Next build your own class by copying the CL_ALTID_PRODUCT_CUSTOMER_ID and in this class try to modify the methods to read the product descriptions for alternative id. You may look at the standard class for more details.
The idea  is to create an ID that needs to reference particular table  ( in your case , the product descriptions table )
I guess you have to  explore more on this.  It is not straight forward.
Hope it helps.

Shaik

  • Product description in Alternative language

    Hi,
    I have a requirement to CIF to APO, the material description maintained in alternative language in R/3 material master .
    However, even after re-creation of the integration model and activating the new version on IM does not bring the alternate language description to APO. I have checked & did not find any blocked queues.
    Could anyone please let me know where should I check for the problem and steps to resolve the same.
    Thanks & Regards
    Ankur Shrivastava

    Hi Ankur
    The language that are you are trying to bring in needs to be installed in your APO. Unless the language is installed I dont think you can see the description in any other language except English (or whatever may be the language installed). Please check with your BASIS team and see what language is installed.
    If I am not mistaken till that time, the characters will appear as junk in your description if you try to CIF in description other than in English (or your installed language)
    You may check in transaction SMLT and see what languages are installed in APO.
    Let me know if this helps.

  • Product Description too short

    The product description in the back end is too short! When you have multiple attributes for a product, it is impossible to view which the customer chose when you open up the order.
    Where can I view each attribute(which are in the form of dropdowns on the frontend) that the client chose?
    I have attached an image for you to view. You'll see the description only allows for certain amount of characters!
    Thank you!

  • Adding modules to a product description

    Hi guys
    Just wondering why is it not possible to add a module (such as an image gallery or media downloads) to a product description area?
    See screenshot. there is no module toolbox.
    Thanks
    Micha

    Hey studiomigo,
    It is possible to use modules in the product description. It's true that no toolbox is available when viewing the product description, however just place the appropriate module tag into the layout and it should render when viewing the product on the front end. The module tags can be found in the following article: http://kb.worldsecuresystems.com/134/bc_1345.html. Or alternatively, navigate to a page, insert the module then copy the code inserted into the page onto the product description.

  • How to create a (product) description field of 250 car length?

    Hi,
    I need to create a specific field for the product description with a length of 250 car. (standard product desc field is only 40 car long), and this field will be added in the Product search screens.
    So, i tried to create an attribute (tx COMM_ATTRSET) , but there is an error indicating that the max length is 75 for the PCUI, but the help states that this limit can be bypassed by replacing the error message by a warning one in table T100C.
    But , i can't edit this table, though i have got SAP_ALL authorization.
    First question : how to edt this table?
    Secondly, if i manage to create an attribute with 250 car length, will it be displayed correctly by the Web UI ?
    Would there be other ways to create this field (append z-Field in COMM_PRODUCT table? using EEW or AET?)
    thanks for yr help
    Ludovic

    well, I have found at least how to replace the error message (length of max 75 car  for PC UI) . Instead of trying to edit manually table T100C, there is an entry in customizing SPRO (cross appl/SAP Product/basic settings/Define Characteristics of System Messages
    ) which allows to customize standard messages , and so change from Error to Warning.

  • Text table for long text of product catalog area and product description

    Hi experts,
    I'm a new comer in CRM, what my current job is to do the translation for CRM system and its portal, e.g. webshop.  Now I met some questions as below, Could you please give me some advices?
    1. Long text for product catalog area (t-code: COMM_PCAT_ADM; Product Catalog: PCSHOP)
    I found a  table named STXL(STXD SAPscript text file lines), maybe, it is related to the long text(product catalog area), but I can not get anything from the field CLUSTD of the table STXL as  its data type is RAW. Maybe, there is a text table in CRM to store these long text information, but I dont know, Could you please give me some ideas?
    2. Long text for product description (t-code: COMM_PCAT_ADM; Product Catalog: PCSHOP)
    I found a table named COMM_CFGLNGTXT(Long Texts for Different Objects),  I can find some long texts(product description) in this table, but some others, I can not find them. I dont know why? Maybe it is not a correct text table. Could you please give me some advices?

  • HTML tags in products description

    Hi,
       We use HTML tags in CRM products description for our B2C application. We now have a problem when we make a search in the application for the word TABLE, TREX find all references of the word in the HTML. Is there a way to solve this problem.
    Regards,

    Hi,
    I remember to trying this also by myself, and as far as I remember I didn't manage to get it working. In my case I wasn't even working with third party solution, but with "normal" SAP workflow tasks. This doesn't mean that it wouldn't be possible.
    As a workaround, you could add an additional button (=action) for your task. By pressing the button a new browser window would open. Just take a look to the UWL DTD and actions + UrlLauncher handler.

  • How do I keep product attributes from floating over product description on ecommerce site?

    When MistyAcresAlpaca.com went live, the site was working perfectly.  Over the past week, I've seen changes to the site's menus , footers and products pages that were not initiated by myself.  It appears to be a software, JS or JQuery issue.
    To clarify, catalogs have been rearranged on menu, product attributes float over product descriptions and foot information has been rearranged. 
    Customers who try to order products using IE as a browser are unable to do so.  Using Chrome or Firefox, customers are able to order products but attributes (size, color) are still floating over the product. Most of the sites customers use IE as a browser.
    Please advise on how this can be resolved and the website stablized.

    Think you may have a missing end </div> for your <div id="nav">, as it appears to be currently encapsulating the entire page including the footer.
    As a result styling for the menu #nav ul li is being adopted further down on the product details.
    Regards

  • Product description and Customer ship description to should be visible in R

    Currently we are able to see the Customer ship to number and Product number in SNC Responsive Replenishment (RR) screen. We want to have Customer Ship description and Product description in addition to Customer ship to number and Product number  to be displayed on  Responsive replenishment screen.
    Current display of RR screen in SNC:
    In this we can see the 7529000 and 23100.
    The Product description and Customer ship description to should be visible in RR screen.
    Product 7329000: Brass coil
    Customer ship to 23100: Evershine company

    Hi Vaibhav
    we have faced similar problem in case of SNI monitors where SNC does not provide the product or location description and our users used to remember those things by their description. Std. SNC does not provides descriptions on SNI monitor and I think its the same case with RR monitors also.
    SAP suggest us that time is that they will try to include this thing in next releases. Other option remains for use is to go for the customization.
    Hope this will help you.
    Thanks

  • Search function for Product description in shopping cart

    Hi,
    We are using SRM 5.5 version. We have a problem when we are searching the Product with the Product description.
    Shop -> Create Shopping Cart -> Internal Goods/Services
    Enter a pattern between the stars such as
    *cap*
    and then Click Start.
    System is not restricting the search output with the pattern
    *cap*
    . Instead it is displaying all the Products and search is not getting restricted by the search function.
    When I was searching for an OSS note to fix this issue, i found the note(1322462) to fix a similar issue with the Product ID.
    Do we have any SAP note to fix the issue with the Product Description? Please guide me.
    With regards
    Krishna

    Hi Muthu,
    Current service pack  is SP 13(SAPKIBKT13).
    I believe this SAP note 1322462 can resolve the issue with search function for the "Product ID". I will implement this note and let you know the result.
    Do we have any SAP note to solve the issue with the search function for "Product Description"?

  • How to change product description in CRM

    Hi gurus
    I need to chage the product description in de CRM oportunity  and in CRM quotations.
    The product description is composed for every customer, for this reason I need to change the standar product description in the opprtunities and in the sales order
    Could you help me

    Hello,
    In CRM, product is considered to be a master data and hence product description for the same product should be same
    in opportunity as well as in quotation, or else it might create inconsistencies later on.
    You have the option to maintain produce descriptions in difference languages but not for different txn types.
    Hope this helps!
    Best Regards,

  • Product description- is not getting updated..

    Hi APO Expert,
    I am getting error in description of product - it is not getting updated..
    Material description is changed in R/3 same is not getting extracted in APO. However, other forecast data and transaction data of extracted successfully. Please note Product start data is maintained from few days onwards.
    Regards

    Hi Rushikesh,
    Go to CFC9 in R/3 and check what value do you see for material master change transfer:
    1) If it's blank, you won't get changes from R/3 to APO. If your CIF jobs run daily, then change the value of 1. Changes will come to APo after CIF job for material will finish.
    2) If it's 1, then you need to re-CIF the material to get the changes in APO
    3) if it's 2, only then the changes are supposed to happen immediately when you change the description in R/3. If your setting is 2, then you need to check if an active integration model (IM) exists for your product or not. Go to CFM5, give your product and check if an active IM exists.
    PS: not clear regarding your comments about forecast. Forecast could go from APO to R/3, and not the other way around.
    Thanks - Pawan
