Restriction by material description.

Hi all,
We have an urgent requrement .. Basically we are trying to group materials based on their descriptions . So i wil have all aroung 50 groups .. What iam thinking this can be possible by writing a bex exit code in which i will populate all the materials based on their description to one BEX exit variable (Multiple single values)..
But here i will have to create 50 different variables which i suppose is not a good option and also will affect the performance..
Can anybody please help me in this , if there is any other way..
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Write a simple program in R/3 to get the Material code and it's grouping code according to desription .Here take one material per one line. And down load the output to excel sheet.
And now create zinfoobject to store the Grouping code (according to description) and add this to 0MATERIAL as navigational attribute.
Now upload the data from flat file through Flexible update method.
Same logic you can implement by enhancing the )MATERIAL_ATTR Ds.
With rgds,

Material description limitation on accept only English language

Dear All,
Is there any user exit / program which not allow user create material with Non English description in MM01?
But we still need unicode support for system.
we are facing export material problem with external system out from company.
thanks.

what do you think is the difference here?
All descriptions you see in additional data are stored in table MAKT field MAKTX. this table is language dependend.
Based on your logon language SAP will present the logon language in the description field that can be seen above each tab in material master maintenance.
IF you restrict the material description to english only, but allow e.g. German as communication languae in vendor master, then SAP will give you a message that the description in German language is not maintained and will not allow creation of the PO.

Hi,
Fetch the records from DD03L. Pass the table name and retrieve names of all the fields. Use table DD03T to get Text for fields.

Material Description View Only Access

We are trying to restrict the ability to change the material description for any transaction other than MM01 to the Basic Data 1 and 2 views. Due to business concerns, locking that field is not an option. We attempted to customize the subscreens to set the field attribute to output only, but it is set at a global level and setting the field to output only everywhere. This has been attempted through both Screen Painter and by following the documented subscreen customization process.
I would greatly appreciate any input or suggestions.

Dear Jeff,
You could do this with Transaction Variant - Transaction SHD0.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_webas620/helpdata/en/eb/5fab41d79b11d296190000e82de14a/content.htm
In the SAP Reference IMG, you can create transaction variants. Choose Basis Components -> Application Personalization -> Tailoring of Application Transactions -> Configure Transaction-Related Display Values for Fields (Transaction SHD0). Transaction variants allow you to preset values for fields in a transaction, set field attributes, or hide entire screens.
To execute a transaction variant, you define a variant transaction using the Transaction Maintenance transaction (SE93).
Once you have entered a transaction code and short description, choose transaction type Transaction with variant (Variant transaction).
To define a variant, enter the name of the transaction and the name of the variant. You can then use the new transaction code to start the special variant of the transaction.
Hope this will help.

Naveen.

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?

> 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.

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

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
