Looking for a userexit changing VBPA-data in VA01

[former_member622098]

Hi together!

I´m looking for a very special userexit in SD. We need a chance to modify the language of the partners in VBPA at the point of order entry (VA01).

Background for this request is a globalization issue. All our companies are working on the same SAP system with the same customers, and we don´t want to have duplicates of the customers (just did a consolidation project....). But now we have the problem, that e.g. an Taiwanese customer is used by the Taiwanese subsidiary and therefore language ZF is needed by them on KNA1, on the other hand we have European companies dealing directly with the same customer, so they would need language EN. It´s no option for our Taiwanese people to use only language EN, we already discussed all the organizational possibilities.

We now would like to implement an add-on table where we could "customize" a standard language for business transactions between company A in country A delivering to customers in country B. The plan is to switch the language of the partner depending on this Z-table.

We found solutions for a lot of details as getting the right language in the delivery, in the invoice, and for single topics as e.g. the language of texts in order/delivery/invoice, but that´s a lot of exits in a lot of places. What is still unsolved is that we need to change the language of the sold-to-party in order to get the material descriptions in the right language.

Smartest way in our opinion would be to change the language of the partners AG, WE and RE in the order, just as if changing the language manually on header level of the order, and then all problems for the document flow would be solved.

Has anybody here any recommendations for a matching userexit to change VBPA-data in the order? Or has anybody had the same problems and found another solution?

I guess we know a lot of the standard exits and we checked on SPRO for the available documentations if there was an up-to-now unused userexit, but none of them seems to match.

And hints and tricks would be appreciated!

Thank you in advance!

Regards,

Petra

Hi

Userexit_save_document_prepare should be helpful to you. The include is MV45AFZZ. The system can will access the Ztable and picks the required language when this userexit is triggered.

Hi

The best solution is to use the Language of the Sales Organisation (VKORG - SPRAS).

Thank you both for your answers, but they do not solve the problem.

The language key of the user does not influence the data, only the appearance of the screens. And the language of the Sales Org helps for e.g. text determination of SU10-texts, but not for the rest as getting the correct material description from the material master.

Hi Petra

Just a suggestion - when a user logs on to SAP, he / she needs to provide Language key - have you used this to see any visible difference?

cheers
