Better Option is when we create a  Purchase Requisition and in  material description  , we can add the things required and from that PR we can create PO .

In the PO , what the description we are maintaining in PR that will come in PO and also in the printing .

Thanks for response,

Using FM read_text through, we can fetch the text data from material memo.

But we can’t understand or write the logic to this text data, how to show in PR text.

Please help me, how to write the code?

the right place for plant specific text without need to change anything in output programs is the info record

Is it possible, any Function Module or any other option through pickup in PR in material PO text which have maintain in MRP4 view - Material Memo.

this would require a modification, and a modification would have a negative impact on the performance of a MRP run.

Please read also OSS note 27136 - Purchase requisitions from planning: Text not copied

Hi,

Thanks for response,

We are using the material memo field for text. As suggested, we have checked the exit: MEREQ001 and the BAdI: ME_PROCESS_REQ_CUST, but not getting the logic for fetches the material memo text to PR Material PO text.

Please guide me.

All long text is stored in table STXH and STXL. The key of this table is Text object , the text ID , the language, and a combination of material number and plant in case of material memo.

Just create one text manually, in the text editor choose from menu GOTO > header and you will see all those info that you need.

To fetch this data you have to make use of function module READ_TEXT

Hi,

   You may use the FM: Read_text for fetching the text. You can use the FM using the text id: LTXT, Language: EN, Object: MDTXT and name as your material code (in 18 digit length) and plant as shown below:

   Foe the "Name" field format, you may check the table STXH with object name MDTXT and ID: LTXT.

Hi,

We have gone through the reply given by you and our requirement is in MRP4 view of material master there is a button labelled material memo in this we can give the text required example specifications.

After that using Above mentioned Bapi we need to display that text automatically from material memo in purchase requisition material po text in item level.

Using the above given we can fetch the data using FM read_text by giving required fields and my requirement is how to make it display in that particular material po text field.Can you provide me a sample code to read text and then write in standard PR particularly.

Many Thanks,

Devendra.

Hi,

   The PO text in material master in client specific.

   If you want plant specific text in material master, you can maintain it in MRP4 view - Material Memo (Text ID: LTXT). The same can be pulled to reports / Printout using the FM: Read_text with text ID: LTXT

Hi,

Thanks for response,

As suggested, I have maintained the text in MRP4 view - Material Memo but that text isn’t pickup in PR in text tab. And which you have given FM: Read_text this is using for report / printout.

Info records also checked and maintained the text in purchase info records by vendor, plant and material number, but same text isn’t pickup in PR in text tab. Info record it isn’t work here because Vendor not fixed.

But client requirement, that text details it is pickup in PR in item text because putting the requirement they should be check.

no way without modification, PR is internal, and if your material is already internally different, then you better create 2 different materials.

The memo field will not go to the PO without modification either

The info record text is taken in the PO, you may only check once if the info record is maintained properly, then you can usually trust your masterdata

I hope you can't achieve this via material master as plant level.

Because material master is client level data.

In PR, text in only copied from material master-purchase order text.

[Prasoon]

Hi,

   The material memo wont be defaulted in to purchasing documents automatically in standard. You may go for development to copy the material memo from MRP4 view to PR text. You may check the exit: MEREQ001 and the BAdI: ME_PROCESS_REQ_CUST.

We have a similar conversation about this.

Check the thread

It is not possible in sap standard.

Because the view is not dependent on Plant level data.

You can go for a development to achieve this..
