concatenate material PO text MAKT with short text EKPO in a PO

Former Member

Hi

We are experiencing some challenges with the Material PO Text not being printed on the RFQs or POs. The Material PO Text captures the full item description and specification.

This has resulted in an incorrect item being procured as this information was omitted from the RFQ and PO.

They require

  1. The Material PO Text be mapped / printed automatically on the RFQs
  2. The Material PO Text be mapped / printed automatically on the POs

An example of a PO where the item description can be seen on the Material PO Text but this information cannot be printed on the PO.

Is there a way that we could concatenate MAKT (material PO text description) with EKPO (short text) in the PO form?

Thanks much.

Kathy,

The code behind the SmartForm for your PO will determine whether you print the item's material text on the PO.  Configuration (IMG: Materials Management - Purchasing - Purchase Order - Texts for Purchase Orders - Define Copying Rules for Item Texts) determines whether the user needs to use a button to 'adopt' the text from the material item into the PO item.  I can't tell from your screen shot how you've configured it, but if the 'fixed' indicator in that configuration is blank, then it will be adopted automatically.  If it is an asterisk, you have to adopt it by clicking a button.
