Hi,

You can change the field label for this data element.

In SE12, select data type radio button and give the input as PRAT1. It will take you to the Product Attribute 1 Data element. In the field label tab you can change the description of the same.

For this you will require access key. Seek the help of ABAPer to achieve it.

Fouth - Required Customization Settings

Follow the below menu path to determine how the system has to behave if the Product Attributes of the Material and Customer

is well matched:

SPRO - SD - Sales - Sales Documents - Sales Document Header - Define Sales Document Types:

OR Transaction Code - VOV8:

Here, select the appropriate Sales Document Type for which you need this Product Attribute functionality.

If needed for all the Sales Document types, then the following Customization has to be done in all the Sales Document Types.

Go to Transaction VOV8 or to the above said Menupath:

Here, select the appropriate behavior for Product Attributes Field as per your requirement. In the Sales Order, for this

Sales Document Type, the system will carry out a check on the compatibility of the Product Attributes selected in Customer

Master (Ship to Party) and in Material Master. If the Product Attributes of the Customer and Material matches, then depending

upon the indicator set in Sales Document Type for the Product Attribute Field, the system will behave. For example, the

Product Attribute field in Sales Document Type can be set with the following available options:

None - No Messages will be displayed

A - Displays a Warning message.

B - Displays a Error message and blocks further processing.

Hi,

Product Attributes are used when you want to restrict certain materials to a customer. For example, a customer doesn't want to purchase a imported material and wants to purchase only local material. you can mark the product attribute 1 for the imported materials and you can mark the product attribute 1 for the customer also.

When product attribute 1 is marked for both customer and material, it will trow an error message "this customer rejects this material".

This is how you can use the product attributes.

Regards

Vijay

You can configure in VOV8 that how you want the system to react, whether to throw a warning message or an error.
