MM17 is usually to replace a field value with a new value, which does not make much sense for material master description, if you distribute one new description to 2000 materials, as you expect o have 2000 different descriptions.

if you want to add a certain character like the TM sign to any of your materials, then you can do this by adding a formula

alternative is to just do a copy and paste from Excel to the description in MM17

Please clarify your requirement, then I (or others) can give you a detailed instruction

select your field MAKT-MAKTX in MM17 and click the formula button.

In the pop-up for the formula hit button ABAP.

Just add a lttle coding above the endform clause like:

concatenate segment-maktx '®' into X.

SEGMENT is the "table" that you currently process and X is the field that takes the new value back.

Hi,

I tried to change the material description using MM17 , it worked successfully.

What error message are you getting or are you looking for the steps to be followed for MASS.

Thanks,
