Hi,

Material description flow from material master with material number  to purchase order after entering material in it.No way you can achieve  it which serve your purpose as it will affect standard behavior of system and no business will allow you to do it.

Yes, you can maintain vendor master number in info record  which server your purpose.

But if you have little more requirement, having manufacturer number  you can go for MPN process.Refer link:

why not using the standard?

the purchasing info record has a field for vendor material number.

when this field is maintained, then you can even use the vendor material number to search for your material in F4.

..and this number is usually printed in the PO item line 

so there is actually no reason to add it in the text.

Hi,

As manoj has explained, u can use info record and the same will be visible in PO -> Item Details -> Material Data Tab -> Vendor Material field.

If u want the same to be seen in line item texts tab or if your requirement is like, u want to have same vendor number regardless of the vendor u can maintain the text in material master PO text. so that the text is always copied to PO line item texts.

Hi,

Maintain the Text in the Purchase Info Record for the Vendor/Material/Purchasing Organization combination in ME11.

This will help you achieving this.

Hi Kiran,

The Material PO Text is fetched from the Material Master Record. So, you cannot maintain Vendor specific texts in the Material Master Record.

But if you maintain generic text in the Material Master Record (MM02) at Purchase Order Text view this will be copied into the PO.
