Table Field Short Descriptions

If you go into the Repository Information System (SE83), then drill down to ABAP Dictionary->Fields->Table Fields, you are allowed to enter a table name to display its fields and short descriptions. I need to know what table the short descriptions are stored. I assumed it was DD03T, but I'm not able to locate most of my field descriptions for the MM module. Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Sheshu... The DD03M seems to be missing some positional data even though its viewable in SAP TCode ZSE16R.
Check this out as an example:
Look at table CSKS fields by using ZSE16R, then go to the choose fields option in the Settings>List Format menus. Then compare that to the data that is in DD03M.
Examples of missing fields form DD03M for table CSKS:
MANDT
PKZKP
VERAK
WAERS
Can you tell me why this data isn't present in the DD03M table?
Thanks

How to change the standard Fields short description in KNVV table

Hi All,
Our system is recently upgraded from 4.7 to ECC 6. When we compared both versions we found the KNVV table fields descriptions are changed in 4.7(customer modifications done in 4.7) and same these customer modifications are not copied to ECC 6 from 4.7 version.
So I tried to change the short description at domain level with the help of access key. But the description is not changed. Can you please let me know is there any procedure that how can we change the fields description for standard tables.
KNVV table in 4.7                                                        ECC 6
Fields                       Short Description                     Short Description
1. KVGR1               Gen.Bus.Terms print                Customer group 1
2. KVGR2               VAT on FOC                            Customer group 2
3. KVGR3               Confirmation status                 Customer group 3
4. KVGR4               Collect Billing                           Customer group 4
5. KVGR5               SC Surchge Excl                    Customer group 5

You need not use access key to change field labels
Transaction CMOD -> Go to -> Text Enhancements -> Keyword -> Change.
Here you can change all data element KNVGR1 to KVGR5

Finding tables with their short descriptions or finding short descriptions

Is there any Tcode at whose screen I can find the short explanation / description of the tables (for example short description for VBAK: Sales Document - Header Data). Also is there any Tcode at whose screen I can make search with keywords for finding the tables that I need.

Is there any Tcode at whose screen I can find the short explanation / description of the tables (for example short description for VBAK: Sales Document - Header Data).
Check the tables in T.Code SE11:
DD02L : ALL SAP TABLE NAMES
DD02T : DESCRIPTION OF TABLE NAMES
DD03L : FIELDS IN A TABLE.
Also is there any Tcode at whose screen I can make search with keywords for finding the tables that I need.

Regarding Material Master Field Makt-maktx(Short description)

hi ,
i have one requirement, i want to make Maktx (short Description)
for material Field as optional, i had tried , by going in group 20,
and tried to change it optional, but things are not working as per.
Can anybody help me out for this.
Thanks,

Hi,
Field MAKTX is a mandatory field. You cant make it optional I suppose.
Pl note the following from SAP HELP:
Enter all required information. Fields in which you must enter data are
prefilled with a checkmark or question mark ("?") by the system. If the
current screen contains tabs, check all tabs to make sure you have
filled in all required fields. Then restart the action.
