Use T-Code SHD0 to create a Transaction Variant (e.g. ZMM02).

In this Transaction Variant, make Material Description field as visible only.

Remove Authorization of MM02 to the required Users & Authorise them for ZMM02.

Hope this helps,

Hi,

transaction variant is the only way to achieve this, if you do not wish to complicate things.

Hello Manoj,

If your business requirement is to prevent the material description change at Sales Order level then the best approach would be to implement User exit which will only consider the Material description present at Material Master.

1. USEREXIT_FIELD_MODIFICATION

2. USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_VBAP

3. USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT

But if you want to prevent at Material Master record level then my suggestion would be to take the help of BASIS consultant and restrict the authorization for MM02 t-code so that changes are not updated.

Kindly update the forum based on these above suggestion.

You can control this while saving material master in MM02 - through a userexit.

For userexit see -
