Dear Dhiraj

I believe you are asking about the material description, please go to VD51, input the customer code and execute. There maintain material code that is created in manufacturing plant and to the right you can assign the customer code. Now block this line item and click on blue lens on top so that a screen will appear where you can see a field "Customer description". Maintain the required description here.

thanks

Yes

you can achieve it thro CMIR in T code VD51

Go to T code VD51 choose that customer and material combination and click on to its details blue lens on application tool bar

In the screen which is coming ,enter your description in the CUSTOMER DESCRIPTION tab the second one and save

Now create a sales order and see

Your requirement will be fulfilled

If a material is pen description is ball pen in material master and for customer A you have defined it as Pen 1 and description as Super ball pen in VD51

If a material is pen description is ball pen in material master and for customer B you have defined it as Pen 1 and description as VerySuper ball pen in VD51

Now in sales order the description will appear as Super ball pen for Customer A

Now in sales order the description will appear as Very Super ball pen for Customer B

Hence the material pen whose description is ball pen in MMR will appear as super ball pen for customer A and very super ball pen for customer B

Hope you have checked the field info record in VOV8

I have tried this tested this and getting it

Regards

Raja

Dear Dhiraj,

Are you asking for Different Material-Code for same Material, or your requirement is just to change the Description?

If, its the description, Change it in to Sales Document (Item-Level) in to Field: Description.

Best Regards,
