Dear

Earlier we use to bill material A,bt now we are billing material B for specific customer.Condition record maintained for material B.

Requirement is customer wants name of the material A in invoice bt we will be billing material B.

If you do not like to do what other said, then straight away go to mm02 for B and in the place of material description type the name of material A.

Or keep the material B as A1

You can change material descriptions from sales orders as well.

Otherwise you may go for condition tenique for material determination.

Pls revert for any further query

Thanks

As suggested by SAP2020, maintain customer matwerial info record in VD51 with the desceiption required by customer. Regarding Printout, as Aparer to code suchthat priority should be to pick description of Customer Material Info Record. If Customer Material Info record not maintained or blank, then pick the regular desbrption.

Hi There are two ways to do

Option 1: kindly maintain the description of the article B as same as Article ,but for u r identification maintain the customer master information record. or Vice versa.

Option 2: Maintain the description in material master of the text field and the same thing can be mapped in the invoice printout.

If you have any further clarifications let me know

Hey, this is not Mc Donalds

 Earlier we use to sell material A but now we are selling material B..we want the change in the name in invoice.

Use Customer description of material in the customer info-record. This is standard functionality.

Copy/paste from SAP Help:

If you include the customer's description as short text in the customer-material info record, the system automatically uses the text 

during sales document processing. When you create a sales order, for example, the customer's description appears instead of the short text from the material master record.
