Then you could write your own program to achieve this.

Otherway is you T-code : MASS, but if you have more material number it will be very difficult to do mass change.

transactional data like a PO is never updated automatically if you change master data.

Just imagine your system is several years old, and you have thousands of orders for one material, then you change the material master and SAP would change all your thousands of POs . the data in SAP would not anymore match with the data that was printed and submitted to your vendors and customers.

and a material description is not only used in a PO, there are several other objects,

if SAP would have to update all these dependend existing data, than you may have to wait for several hours until the hour glass would disappear and the updates are all made.

Dear,

System is New. But This data is abt Rollout Data(from old system to SAP). No. of PO's are there. which the material description is incorrect.

Any possibilities to do this.

Hi,

If you have already created the PO then it cannot be reflected automatically. So first you change the description in material master recor in MM02, then in PO delete the line item which you have already created and again call the same material. Thus you will get changed description in PO

You could change it in the MM02->Additional Data

You need to aware, which language it will pick is decide by Vendor language

its correct even entering in additional data system will not capture the description

you need to delete the P.O line item and then make a changes in material description and then reenter the material in next line item of P.O then and only then system will capture the new description of material

Dear Neha,

To delete the PO line and then make a changes in material description and then reenter the material in next line item of P.O is the last option.

It's a Rollout data(from old system to SAP) the PO is already made and out of these PO some material description is incorrect.

Is there any way to short this out?

when you migrate the data from legacy to new system, then there should not be any issue to exchange the text at that moment.

at least technically I had never a problem doing it.

please describe exactly where you are in the process.

It is currently not clear if you have already migrated the POs or not.

if you have already migrated the POs with a wrong text, then you have to delete those PO items and create new ones as already suggested by others.

Dear,

It's already migrated. Out of all some material Description's are not correct.

Basically I want when I change description of Material Master, The change reflects in PO.
