Short Text/Material Description in PRs and POs

Hi Freinds
My client has a requirement that except for Item cat. D for all others the text feild should be greyed out and Material no. is mandatory. How to go about in customising.
Regards

First you need to define Z* doc type & in the Allowed Item Categories only allow "D".
and create new field selection key and assign it to Z* doc type..
and for Standard Doc type in in the Allowed Item Categories remove "D", then Pls do as below
Spro>Materials Management>Purchasing>Purchase Order>Define Document Types
Here check the "Field Selection Key" against the PO doc type
(ex: Standard NB doc type the "Field Selection Key" would be "NBF")
Then go to
Spro>Materials Management>Purchasing>Purchase Order>Define Screen Layout at Document Level
Select the " Field Selection Key" of ur doc type..Just Double click on that
then click on "Basic Data, Item", there you can see the "Short text" field..
and make it Display.
You need to use Z* doc type for Services , there you can enter short text.
and for Standard the Short text will be in Display mode.

How to use OTR short text for description of select options

Hi Experts,
Can some one guide me how to make the description of select option language independant.
Can't I use OTR text for description? if yes, how is that?
    WD_THIS->M_HANDLER->ADD_SELECTION_FIELD(
    I_ID          = 'SEL_OPEN_LINES'
    IT_RESULT     = LT_RANGE_TABLE
    I_AS_CHECKBOX = ABAP_TRUE
    I_READ_ONLY   = L_READ_ONLY
    I_DESCRIPTION = 'Select Open Lines' ).
how can i pass OTR text for the string type I_DESRIPTION export parameter of ADD_SELECTION_FIELD method?
or is there any other way of doing this.
Any clue is highly appreciated. Thanks.
Regards,
Ajay

Hi,
Try this out -
Use cl_wd_utilities=>GET_OTR_TEXT_BY_ALIAS get the alias text into a string and pass this string variable to the I_DESCRIPTION.
DATA:
lv_str type string.
CALL METHOD cl_wd_utilities=>get_otr_text_by_alias
   EXPORTING
     alias      = 'ZPKG/header'
     language   = sy-langu
   RECEIVING
     alias_text = lv_str.
WD_THIS->M_HANDLER->ADD_SELECTION_FIELD(
    I_ID          = 'SEL_OPEN_LINES'
    IT_RESULT     = LT_RANGE_TABLE
    I_AS_CHECKBOX = ABAP_TRUE
    I_READ_ONLY   = L_READ_ONLY
    I_DESCRIPTION = lv_str ).

PO Line Item Short Text to be Restricted to English

Hi ,
Whenever the user tries to change the short text (material description) in the PO line item(TCode ME22N), we want to put a check that the descriptions should only be in english. At the same time if the user wants to extend the short text to make it more descriptive and relevant he should be allowed to do so as long as the user uses english or numbers.
How do we achieve this?
Thanks in advance.
Mick

Thanks Anji.
But what is required is say for eg PO No 90012345, line item 10 the material no is 100123 and the short text (Material Description Table EKPO Field TXZ02) is "Place Holder". now the user changes the short text in ME22N to "Place Holder Dry Cont" and then saves the PO. Now if the extension to the short text is in english then the PO should get saved (in this case it is in english ie "Dry Cont"). If the short text is not in english or contains any characters in language other then english the short text saved should be the original text, in this case "Place Holder".
How do we acheive this?
Regards,
Mick

Creation of short text and long text?

Hi,
We create short text by using oe_fnd_attachments_pub.create_short_text_document and oe_fnd_attachments_pub.add_attachment API and to create long text we use fnd_documents_pkg.insert_row .
Why is it that we have different approaches for creation of short text and long text?
I know that oe_fnd_attachments_pub.add_attachment is used to attach a short text to some entity,but then why we dont do the same for long text?
Please lemme knw urgently ...
Thanks and Regards
Amar

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?

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),

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 ?

Cannot enter German Umlauts in Short text of Purchase Requsition ME51N

Dear All,
We have one problem in entering short text in PR in German and Russian language , User created PR and can not insert special characters ME51N: e.g. ä ü ö Ø in German and it gets deleted and special characters in Russian language are converted to # symbol for a Russian user in PR short text. Also if German user try to select F4 entries in UOM field , they get message like "keine eingabehilfe verfügbar" (no input help available) ,same with Russian user, but this message is intermittent and this issue is happening since our ECC 6 go live. Pls let me know if this problem is due to Unicode conversion or Basis problem or any related SAP notes to fix the same.
Thanks in Advance
Benny

Dear Benny,
1) ME51N
Please have a look at SAP note 493318 > point 14
Excerpt(begin):
Why do special characters disappear from the item overview of the
purchase requisition if you use the ALV grid?
Answer:
According to Note 508854, the editable ALV grid is not Unicode-enabled.
If you want to use special characters, use the table control. To do
this, set the "Item overview as grid control" flag to blank in the
"Personal Setting" on the "Basic settings" tab page.
Excerpt(end).
2) Units of Measurement
Please check SAP note 43800.
Alternatively you can also look at SAP note 451720.
Best regards,
Nils Buerckel

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
Edited by: Valentino Rosso on Sep 9, 2009 10:58 AM

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.
Regards,
Roberto

Material short text difference

Hi Gurus,
my client has created a Po having 2 line items with the same material no. (packing material)
the short text of the material is differ for the one line item.the confusion is how it will happens coz.. the material code is same for the both line items.it should be the same.
I checked in the item changes of the Po.. but no data is appearing regarding the short text changes
please help me how to find out the route cause of the issue..
regards
subbu

Hi,
It is possible to change the Material Description while creating PO (ME21N), which will not get recorded as changes for that document. User might have changed during PO creation (in ME21N).
Or check whether 2nd line item has been added later in PO, in change mode and check Material master changes in MM04. It might also happen that before adding 2nd line item in PO, somebody would have chnaged material description in MM02.

Avoid users can change Short Text of Material Id in Purchase Requisitions

Hi
We have a problem with purchase requisitions.
Users create a purchase requisition. In the field material, type the ID of the Material but then, change the description in Short Text, for example Material 1000 is a Bearing, and the user can change this description for Nut for example, causing problems and confusion in the following steps.
We want that if the user use Material ID can´t change the Short Text
Thank You very much
Sergio

Hi,
You can control this via tcode OLME. go to Purchase Requisitions and then 'Define Screen Layout at Document Level'. Select appropriate field selection key (NBB if using standard one), go to basic data, item and maintain required settings.
