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
S Kumar

Hi Kumar,
Chek with  your ABAPer  to achieve the  Requirement ,  I think most of requirement can be achieve through the form  set up
But i  doubt that you can maintain the long text in Material group level

  • Tracking of Service master LONG TEXT changes

    Hi ,
    I know we have functionality to track changes made in a Service master thru Change Documents .... but it doesn't show the changes made in SERVICE MASTER long text.
    How can we see those changes ?
    Regards
    shrey

    Changes to long text are not stored in CDHDR/CDPOS tables.
    You can only see that there was a change, but not what was changed in detail.

  • Search help for Material long text ?

    Hello,
    A given material code MATNR is linked a material short text ( MAKT_MAKTG for example) which is on max 40 characters.
    Where can i maintain the material long text ( around 100 characters) which is available in a search help in standard SAP ?
    Note : in the material master data, i know the view Purchase order text, but is there any search help for this ?
    Or do you have to develop an own search help ?
    Thank you in advance,
    Isabelle

    Thank you Jürgen,
    OK, i understand that a search help on long text is not a good idea
    Nevertheless, 40 characters to name a material is too short for our users. Do you know any other text field that we can use ? because i imagine it is not possible to extend MAKTG to more that 40 char.
    Our issue is that we upload our material data from some manufacturer material file, and their material description (even the one called " short text" is often more than 40 char.
    Do you see any possible solution ?
    Thank you,
    Isabelle

    Hi
    You have to fetch this Long text of this Material using READ_TEXT fun module by passing the 4 parameters as mentioned by you  by writing some code in the program or by writing the external subroutine using PERFORM statement
    Only Application HEADER and ITEM texts can be included in script using the INCLUDE command
    So write the code for the Read _Text fun module and fetch it into Internal table lines and pass/print those to script
    pass the same 4 parameters
    Test name - material no(MARA-MATNR)
    object - MATERIAL
    text id - GURN
    LANGUAGE - EN
    see the sample code
    data:begin of it_stxh occurs 0,
            tdobject type tdobject,
            tdname type tdobname,
            tdid type tdid,
            tdspras type spras,
          end of it_stxh.
    types:begin of ty_lines.
            include structure tline.

    Edited by: VIKRANT HANDE on Dec 17, 2010 10:10 AM

    Hi,
    There is no standard report for showing that detail.  You have to develop your own report using the function module READ_TEXT where ID = LTEXT, NAME = Activity code with leading zeros for making the total length to 18, OBJECT = ASMD, LANGUAGE = Respective language

  • How to get material long text at user exit EXIT_SAPLMGMU_001

    Dear All,
    I need to pass some material details from SAP to legacy system once user create / edit a material. I have no problems with fields like material no, type, group etc except the long text, I can't find the long text field from the user exit (EXIT_SAPLMGMU_001).

    Dear Brijesh,
    Similar to Shreya, but if I want to set the "Service Long Text" to "display only" when using ME21N/ME22N, is it possible to do so?
    I want this because I want user to maintain the service long text from Service Master and when this text copied from service master to service PO, this text must be in display only. If user want to add text, they should maintain the "Service Line Long Text".
    Is it possible to do that?

  • SAVE_TEXT to implement long text for Material, BOM, documents etc...

    Hello,
    we are working on a process to download longtexts from one system and to upload into another system to add missing long text there for different objects.
    We are using SAVE_TEXT and it is working fine for documents in DRAW/DRAT.
    Here we got what we expected. Long texts are uploaded and can be edited in the
    transaction CV02N.
    But then we started with material and with BOMs (bill of material).
    Result of upload:
    STXH is filled with entries but in MM02 and CS02 we cannot see the added long texts.
    Seems that the connection between material and bom and their texts is missing.
    For BOM we are not totally wrong. If there is a longtext in the BOM we can add longtext (we READ_TEXT the existing longtext and add our text. Then we do a update) and can see the added longtext in CSxx transactions.
    But if there is only a short text, our insert via SAVE_TEXT is not working.
    Is there something we are doing wrong or don´t we understand something?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Best regard

    Hello Naren,
    oh, this answer was bringing light into my confusion.
    My problem is that there will be some import files with any long text for any object in R/3 like
    material with x textids , bom, equipment etc...
    Is there any chance to find out easily which text object combination with textid belongs to a specific long text. The TTXID table is only a listing w/o any explanantion???????
    Update longtext in BOM header -> set STZU-LTXSP
    Update longtext alternative in BOM header -> set STKO-LTXSP
    Update longtext in BOM position  -> set STPO-LTXSP
    And what is the text ID DPO for?
    My other problem now is with Material long text import.
    I checked the SDN threats but could not find the answer.
    This is my abap that is not running for material.
    I can see the long text entries from READ_TEXT, but not in STXH and STXL.
