Change Material Description in PR through Reference Characteristics

[Former Member]

Hi All,

The basic requirement is to change the material description at time of creation of Purchase Requisition.

I have created a configurable material and assigned a class with reference characteristic as one of the characteristics.

Reference characteristics refer to the Table EBAN and TXZ01 field which is Short description of the material in PR.

Created a Object depedency as follows

$self.Reference Characteristic = 'HR Black'

Assigned this OD to the configuration Profile of the Material. So when I create the PR then ideally it should replace the existing material description with 'HR Black' but it is not happening.

Please let me know where I am going wrong.

Regards,

Amit

Hello Amit,

Not all tables/Fields can be changed via reference characteristics. Please review note 935885 , that provides fields that can be read and changed.

I am afraid what you are looking for is not possible.

Hi Amber,

Thanks for the reply . I am relax that I got the solution. It is possible to change the material description. We have to use three reference characteristic.

1. Table EBAN and Field TXZ01

2. Table VBAP and Field ARKTX

3. Table VBAK and Field MILL_APPL_ID

Infer 'HR Black' for TXZ01 and ARKTX reference Characteristic.

It seems you are using IS-MILL. IS works differently and it is possilble in MILL environment.
