Presentation of material texts in purchasing documents

[Former Member]

Hi Everyone,

I am creating a shopping cart with an item that is stored in SRM product master. This item has basic texts, such as internal note and inspection text.

However, when the item is presented in the shopping cart, none of these texts appear.

Actually, the inspection text isn't even listed as a text field for the shopping cart. The internal note field is there, but is empty.

What do I need to do to have these texts presented in the shopping cart?

Best Regards,

Eduardo

Hi Eduardo,

before SRM 5.0, you have only 2 text types available at SC item level:

- vendor text

- internal note

Both are available for manual entry (sometimes, vendor text is defaulted from catalog item long description).

Vendor text is supposed to be printed on the PO.

Internal note is used to pass comment in approval WF.

There is no interaction with SRM product master, from which only description is displayed (with UOM).

To present product master data texts in those 2 standard texts, you could use BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI (but check that it has a parameter for longtexts).

Otherwise, create additional text types and populate them from your product master (via modifications of standard code).
