Hi,

I completely agree with Mr.Jignesh,that is only one way in standard sap has provided.In T.code VD51 you will maintain the customer details as well as material,here you can give the material description as per customer convenience, then the material description will come in to sales order.

Thanks

Hi

I agree it comes in change mode and we can change the description. there can be multiple reasons for it

1. Is there a BOM for the materail

2. Check the item category configuration

3. Or is there a development for the same.

Another Option.

In Sales Order, Go to LIne Items Details, Order Data Tab.

Here you have Customer Material Feild. Here you can enter a different Descripton & write a code in your ABAP program to check here first & if found blank, print the Material Description for normal Material description.

Thanks,

The standard SAP does not seem to have this option of disabling the modification of Material Description on the Sales Order Item Level. I think it most likely is a customized authorization on the description field. If that is the case, having authorizations to what Ramakrishna mentioned 1. M_MATE_MAN, 2. M_MATE_MAR, 3. M_MATE_STA will not help.

If you have all the access go to PFCG ->Enivronment->Authorization Objects -> Display and there you can have a look at the authorization objects assigned. Your SAP BASIS person should be of help.

Not possible in SAP Standard.

Instead why not create a Customer Material Info Record in T-Code - VD51?

Alternatively it the requirement to change the Description is only for few Sales Order then create a Text ID & Enter the Description in Text Feild. Then in Smartform program wrie a code which will check for Material Description in the Text first & if not found then take from normal material Description in Sales Order.

But Customer Material info Record seems to be the best solution.

Hope this helps,

Thanks,

dont think this is possible, if you want the description in the output needs to be changed, change the form parameters for the output to refer the field from customer material & have the description as per your request. if the requirement is for a different situation, please detail out.

Thanks & Regards
