Direct delivery: language problem

Former Member

Hi,

The context of the process: a PReq is created directly from sales order direct delivery item, PReq is assigned to a vendor and then converted into PO.

Additional information:

a. An NLAG material has a generic desciption maintained in material master in languages FR and DE,

b. This generic decription is overriden manually by the user on sales order item to make the direct purchase customer-specific,

c. The customer's language is DE,

c. The vendor's language is FR.

Issues:

a. The specific description is copied into PO item only if customer's language = vendor's language, otherwise the description in vendor's language is copied from the material master.

b. PO's output form ignores PO item description, it systematically uses the description in vendor's language copied from the material master.

Question:

Are both points expected Sap standard behavior? If yes, what standard action margin (customizing, user exit, etc.) do I have to avoid users to maintain manually the same information (i.e. material description) twice in the same continous process?

Hi

Check in your copy rules the subroutine that it uses and how is populated the field LIPS-ARKTX. Search other VOFM whre ARKTX is not determined by the source document. Surely you are using routine 302 (see it in tcode VTLA)

I hope this helps you

Thanks Edouardo,

My issue is not related to delivery (LIPS) but to PO (EKPO).

Thus not concerned by VTLA copying rules.

The copy takes place between sales order item (VPAB) and purchase requisition (EBAN).

Hi

Try to modify it with USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_ME_REQ (include MV45AFZB)
