Hello,

The facility of changing Material Description in Sales Orders is necessary in some cases.

Say for some Customers you need a slight modification in the Meterial description & this only for a couple of transactions. Thus rather than changing the Material master, which will impact all the Sales order, you can change the material description in Sales Order.

Regarding comtrolling the same, other have already given suggestions above.

Thanks,

Hi,

This is the feature from SAP, to provide the possibility to change the description of line item.

In some cases, you may need to know the actual purpose of the item only during selling.

eg:

1. Business selling services to its customer. They might have various types of service items to sell.

For this, they want to go for single material instead for each service. Only during order creation, they have freedom to give exact service description by entering in material description field, else it requires to create material master data for each service which is unnecessary loading master data.

2. In some cases, material description is ony meant for internal, doesnt make any sense to the customer. If business wants to give some meaningful description by which customer can understand. Then it can be changed.

Hi Rekha,

Before post a thread , please try to execute the same in you sap system so we will get some idea on the issue( most of your case you will get answer ).

Comes to question , you can manually change material description at sales tab, however this change is only applicable to particular sales order , it will not impact on master data. its is very similar like partner details change at sales order level, if you want the changed details in output, explain the same to ABAPer so he will do necessary changes in output program.

Please try to execute the same in your sap system and let me know whether it is possible or not.

Regards,

Patchala.
