The Material description on sales order for a particular item is red text

Hi friends,
When I key-in a sales order for a specific material, the material description on the sales order appears in red text. What could be the reason?
Sreedhar

Hi Sreedhar
First of all Welcome to SDN forum
Coming to your query , As the material description maintained in MMR is coming in red colour in sales order , First of all check in which colour you maintained the text in MMR . Secondly check the MAKT table .
As you are telling for a specific material , check for other materials and their material texts & colour in sales order also

Different material description in one language for single material

Hi folks,
Is it possible to maintain different material descriptions (In one language-english) for a single material.
if it so how can u provide me steps.
Thx in advance,

Hi,
For a single material code maintaining multiple text in the same language is not possible,
this contradicts the basic principle of consistancy.

Select query in materialized view with two dblinks

Hi All,
We have oracle 10g On windows.
We are trying to create materialized view. Scenario is we have base table on other database and we are creating mview on different database.
Basa database have two schema's and i am selecting records from that two schema's using two private db links.
But when i am tryin gto create mview its not getting created. After 15 hrs. its still showing creation command and not finished.
Query is :-
Is it good practice to have two db links in select query of materialized view.

If the former, you ideally want the local Oracle db to send the join to the remote database, and for the remote database to drive the join between those 2 tables. There is a hint (<i>driving_site</i>) that can be used - or the join query can be defined on the remote database as a view, and the local materialised view can then use that remote view.
If you have 2 different db links and joining across these - usually a bad idea to perform distributed database joins. There are lots of limitations as to how the tables can be joined. Worse case, full table scans of both remote tables, pulling all the rows from the 2 remote database tables to the local database, and joining these on the local database.
I have seen some severe performance issues in the past as a result of distributed joins. I'll rather use 2 materialised views for pulling both distributed tables's data locally, and then do the join on local data (using indexes, partition pruning, etc)Hi Billy,
My scenario is i have two database database A and database B. Database A is having two schema's SCOTT AND HR. SCOTT schema have select privileges on HR schema.
DB LINK is between Database B to Database A. name is db.link.B.A.oracle.com.
What if i priovide while creating materialized view, the schema name before the table name in database B for this particuler table so it will pick up the table from that schema using same DB LINK(db.link.B.A.oracle.com.) that i am using to fetch records from SCOTT schema.
Above schnario is like two base schema's and one db link using two schema.

Material description is not showing in VL10H

Hi All,
I am running the report VL10H and facing a problem, step which is being followed by me, given below:-
1.Put plant and delivery date and execute.
2.click on label Edit -> Show/hide delivery.
3.Chose the field u201CMaterial descriptionu201D from Layout for output field.
Now here I am seeing that all the materials in this report, having SD Doc i.e. delivery has been created,
Material description is showing and remaining materials which have no delivery (showing in green color),
Material description is not being shown.
Can anybody suggest me regarding this?

Yes there is no issue regarding description maintained in the material master.

> If you run the VL10H as steps, I have given above, then you will see Material descriptions comes only those material which delivery are pending for creation, all those which delivery is posted not showing material description.
now you are just telling it the other way around:
Now here I am seeing that all the materials in this report, having SD Doc i.e. delivery has been created,
Material description is showing and remaining materials which have no delivery (showing in green color),
Material description is not being shown.
I tested it, and all my sales order and STO order items are showing a material description.
I do not have any items shown which have already deliveries created
About which description are you talking, as I can see 2, one at item level and another one at header level ?

Material description VS Purchase order Text when creating a PO

Hi Gurus,
When creating a PO for a specific material, I have to print a purchase order text different from the material description.
To do this, a specific text has be added to the material master data in the tab "Purchase order Text" with the italian language maintained.
But, when i start to create a new PO for this material, the short text that is shown is retrieved form the Material description and not from the Purchase order text that has been added before.
How can I do to have the purchase order text shown in the PO instead of the common material description?
Thanks in advance for your support.
Regards,
Valentino

Hi Rajaram,
thansk a lot for your answer, it has been very helpful.
Could you please clarify me the below points?
1) Could you please confirm me that this is the functionality of the standard SAP System? That means that in case we want to put the purchase order text in to "short text" we would need to create an ad hoc development, right?
2) In case we print the PO with the purchase order text added for the material, is there any point where we can find this information for the material, or we will see just the material description from the Material Master Data?
Thanks a lot for your support.

Roberto

How to prevent error message for material description in MDG material detail screen, when user click on check action

This message 'Material description is mandatory is displaying with check action only, but not with save or submit after i anhance field property as not mandetory.
How to prevent error message for material description in MDG material detail screen, when user click on check action.
Thanks
Sukumar

Hello Sukumar
In IMG activity "Configure Properties of Change Request Step", you can completely deactivate the reuse area checks (but will then loose all other checks of the backend business logic as well).
You can also set the error severity of the checks from Error to Warning (per CR type, not per check).
Or you provide a default value for the material description, e.g. by implementing the BAdI USMD_RULE_SERVICE.

Display mode for Material Description in MM02 for Partucular User/UsrGroup

Dear friends,
I required to set: Display mode for Material Description in MM02. (Configured thruu2019 Maintain field selection to data screen)
For Particular User / User group, it should be Change mode. How to achive this. Please advice.
Thanks and regards,
RAMAN

Hi,
I don't think you can realize it, because in SAP system there are 6 influncing factors:
Material Type
Plant
Industry sector
Transaction
Procurement indicator
SAP Delivery
Field selection is controlled by field references. You can assign field references to the influencing factors material type, plant, and industry sector in Customizing. SAP maintains the assignment of the field reference to the transaction codes, to the procurement types, and for the SAP delivery. You cannot change this assignment of these field references in Customizing.
So from my point of view, you can't use the factors of material type, plant and industry sector to distinguish different users' authorization.
Good day

Field STOFT holds the description of the hazardous material.
Now issue is that as no text table is available for hazardoues material , how the description can be available into multiple langauges ? Also if the text is made available in XYZ langauge in this table on login to XYZ langauge ,then it must be also be displayed in english on login with 'EN' langauge .
Kindly help me in this regard. Also it will be great is someone can tell me how hazardoues material description is maintained in multiple langauages.
Regards,

Hi Ujjwal,
You need to maintain the region code "PT" in SPRO>LE>WM>Hazardous material>Master data-->Define region code.
Once done..relogin into system with "PT" language at login page of SAP.
Use VM01.. give material number and region code "PT"..it'll take you to next screen where you can maintain description in Portuguese.
Hope this will help.

Material Description is not displaying for few records in Report

Dear Experts,
Report Material Description is not displaying for few records in Bex Report but for records it is coming and even the heading of the material Description is also not coming for this report.
Cud u plz suggest a good solution for it.
Regards,
Sai Phani.

Hi Phani,
For the text of the material in records, check if there is text maintained for that material in the master data. also try by changing the text to medium text and long text.
regarding header, you will have same heading for key and text, you may use Materail ID / Description as the heading if you want.

Material description in the SUS vendor screen in MMSUS scenario

Hi All,
We are working on MM SUS scenario with SRM5.0 and ECC 6.0 as the backend.
We are sending the PO and SAR from R3 to SUS. When vendor logs in to create a POR and ASN, he is not able to see the material description rather only material code is available in the screen.
Same thing for the business object BUS2231 ( for ASN) we are able to see the same in BBP_PD in GUI.
What could be the reason?
We are using standard BSP pages for SRMSUS service.
Best regards,
Sridhar

Hi All,
Any clues on this, are we missing any standard jobs which are to be scheduled for bringing material description to the SUS screen?

Sridhar
