Hi ,

I am facing a typical issue. We are maitaining the material master text in English as the parent plant is based in US. recently due to expansion plan a new plant under a new company code was started in Domaican Republic whose native language is Spanish ie ES. Now when we are doing STO between TWO company codes which are having English and Spanish respectively , we are getting the error as ' MATERIAL MASTER TEXT IS NOT MAINTAINED IN ES' .

I went to particular material master and added text in ES in additional data tab. It is working fine, but now there are thousands of material and how to over this issue. Any SAP OSS Note ?

Please advice,

Regards,

Vengal Rao.

Hi Vengal,

you need to translate the according texts from EN to ES.

You can do so via external tools and upload via LSMW (as already proposed by others).

Alternatively, you can directly translate table content of MAKT via SE63 (translation workbench).

Hi Nils,

Thanks for giving the solution. I agree with you of using SE63 will resolve my issue of converting the text. Can you please elaborate more the SE63.

Thanks,

Hi Vengal,

Transaction SE63

> insert in OK field: TABL (object type short cut)

> Object name: Insert MAKT

> Object type: TADC

> Restrict Selection if necessary

> Translate texts

Hi,

You can also do with mass maintenence T code MM17

Tabel MAKT Field MAKTX

Mass maintenance may not be suitable, becuase you would want different text for each material. So use LSMW for mass upload.

Hi,

You have to maintain the language "ES" for all the materials for which you want to do STO.

You can achieve this functionality by using LSMW or create BDC to upload the materials...
