Service Material Description

When creating Credit Memos and Debit Memos in SAP - TCode VA01-upon issuance of the Invoices, the Description field is truncated and does not pick up the value that is entered on the sales order line item.
The work around is to have it manually corrected. It appears to only occur when Service material codes are used

  • 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?
    Best regards,

  • Service / Material Long text Repetation in PO Print,

    Dear ALL,
    I have a requirement where in the Service activities do have a Long text going up to 1 or 2 paragraphs, these long text gets printed in the POs getting created using this service activities,
    but we mainly have many service activities having the same long text  description, so when i use these 5-6 service activities in the PO, the service activity long text gets repeated 5- 6 times in the POs, it is filling the PO print page,
    can we have a check to restrict PO long text appearing in PO print so that it is not repeated, can we have a check and option to choose which text from Service activity to appear and which can be restricted, any check or tick box which allows to have or not have a specific Service / Material master basic data Long text in print outs.
    alternatively can we maintain Long Text at Material Groups level or is there any way to maintain and bring Long texts inside POs
    Thanks and regards

  • Hai regarding material description

    hai this is swamy in mm material description possiblitie only 40
    charcters only that is sap standerad so how the material determination shall we give manuall in sales order and in invoice it is possiblie plz give the replay

    Hi,
    For detailed material description, what i suggest is for every difference of description of the material, create a seperate material.
    e.g. for a car, if its black color, white color, give a seperate material number for each one of it.
    if 40 char are less, then what you can do is use abbr. for every material, and store that abbr. of every material in a seperate file so that you can just refer it whenever you require.
    generally long description is used in spare parts and services, so use abbr. and make it conv to use it.
    hope this would help, plz clarify if further problem occurs.
    regards,
    Siddharth.

    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?

    > 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.

    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.

  • Creating a service material.

    Hi All,
    One  of the user has sent a request to create a service material (Security Software). This is mainly for to improve security of the current billing  cycle. I used T-Code MM01 to created the material but later on instructed to create this material using T-code AC03. What is the difference of these two t codes when we create service material.Please explain.
    Thanks,
    Ama

    Hi,
    Service Material: Service is an intangible material. Since services cannot be stored and regarded as non-transportable and non-stockable. Typical services are commercial services, transport services, bank and insurance services, goods from cultural organizations and the mass media, as well as services provided by the public security forces or the education and health sectors.
    In case of Service ( if vendor providing to you)
    To map in SAP, we do maintain Service master (AC03) and create purchase order (ME21N) to vendor mentioning Cost Object and Item Category (D).Then service receipt in ML81N, Invoice verification ( MIRO ) and payment to vendor (F-53)
    In case of Material:
    We do create material (MM01), Purchase order; receive goods (MIGO) physically and Invoice verification and then payment to vendor.
    Note: Also Services are managed in the SAP R/3 System with DIEN material type (if you are providing service to customer)

  • Issue in generating Invoice with standard and service material

    There is one scenario where along with standard material (i.e Tube bending machine) they charge the customer for the Design and Development of a machine (which is a service). Is it possible to make a standard order with the standard material(with excise and cst/vat) and service material (with service tax only) in one single order?
    I have tried with both the material in a single order but while making invoice system is taking only the standard material as in  item category we have mentioned Billing relevance from delivery document. And service material will not have the delivery.
    I would be thankful if you could spare some time and check the exact problem.

    Hello,
    Yes.. this is a common problem when you use Delivery relevent material and service material in the same order. Why don't you use the service material in differnt order and invoice it? or do you have any restriction like the delivery relevent material and the service material should be billed in one invoice?

    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.

    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
