Hello,

When I am doing  GI MvT 201 I would like to use one material and have a possibility to change material description, but now when I want to change the material description system is trying to find material with such description  not allowing me to change the descirption and leaving the same material number.

Could you please advise on it ?

Regards

M

Hi,

   Please use MIGO - Goods Issue - Other;  with 201 movement type. Enter the material and other details and go to material tab. Here, you can change the material description, so that system will search for similar description materials and give the pop up. You can choose required material code, which will replace the material number as well, before the document is posted.

   Please check and revert back.

I think you have misunderstood the question. He wants to keep the same material number with different description.

Hi,

   If you want to use a different text with same material, use item level text ( MSEG - SGTXT ) in where tab in MIGO.

   Also check the note: 860619 - MIGO: Displaying short text from purchase order

Thank you for your input

But in this case can the field MSEG-TXT be seen in report for example MB51?

MSEG-SGTXT is not visible in MB51 t-code. If you will use MKPF-BKTXT (Document header text), then you can see it in MB51.

Hi,

   You can add the field MSEG-SGTXT in MB51 in the path: OLMB - Reporting - Define Field Selection for Material Document List. Here, add the field as shown below:

    Now the same will be available in the layout in MB51. Please check and revert back.

    Refer the doc: for more details.

Can you tell me a reason why system will allow to change material description during a stock movement ?

Whatever you are facing, it is a standard behavior. Here, Material description will always come from material master. When you will change the material short text, then system will take it as a search option of field MAKTX in MAKT table.

Hello,

I don't find this explenation as a rule as when I create a PO I can change the material description which is taken from table as well MAKT field MAKTX without any problems

You can see the field short text in PO is not a search field. Its a free text field, there are no F4 list for this field.

So, here you can enter a free text.

But The short text field in MIGO is containing the F4 list.

So you can't enter a free text here. You have to choose a value which us exist in search help or F4 list.
