Material description length increase

[sridhar_narayanan2]

Hi,

1.)Is there any possiblity to increase the length of Material Description more than 40 character?

2.)If possible, how to do it

3.)What will be the problem if increase the length of description.

Client not interested to maintain the details in other fields and they wanted to maintain in description field only.Since they are into electrical they required detail description for operating purpose.

Regards,

Hi,

The description is 40 Characters and it cannot be increased or decreased in size in standard SAP system.

In Standard SAP the Material Description Standard Length is 40 Charecters Only. You cannot Increase the Description Length.

Why Dont you use Purchase Order Text Field.

Try to Convince your Client.

hi,

is it not possible to add any userdefined field.

bcos one client is refusing to hold description in other field.

they want to view long description in all transactions.
