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.
Rgds, Sandeep

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.

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!

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!

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?
Thank you very much.

Hi Uwe,
Implement the BADI DOC_PERSONALIZE_BCS and use method PERSONALIZE_DOCUMENT. In this method therz an parameter FLT_VAL, this can be used to derive the description.
Award points if its useful....

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.

Cost Centre Description in Multiple Language

Hi,
Can we able to maintain Cost Center Discription in Multiple Language like GL Description ( in FS00-- Keyword/Translation).
If can, can you guide how we can do same.
Regard,
Venkat

Hi,
I understand...
As far as I'm aware, there is no such a possibility. In order to maintain the description in different languages, you will have to simply logon in different language and create a description. The other way, is to update directly the CSKT table.
