Changing describtion in GI

[former_member383831]

Hello,

When I am doing  GI MvT 201 I would like to use one material and have a possibility to change material description, but now when I want to change the material description system is trying to find material with such description  not allowing me to change the descirption and leaving the same material number.

Could you please advise on it ?

Regards

Hi,

   Please use MIGO - Goods Issue - Other;  with 201 movement type. Enter the material and other details and go to material tab. Here, you can change the material description, so that system will search for similar description materials and give the pop up. You can choose required material code, which will replace the material number as well, before the document is posted.

   Please check and revert back.

I think you have misunderstood the question. He wants to keep the same material number with different description.

Hi,

   If you want to use a different text with same material, use item level text ( MSEG - SGTXT ) in where tab in MIGO.

   Also check the note: 860619 - MIGO: Displaying short text from purchase order

Thank you for your input

But in this case can the field MSEG-TXT be seen in report for example MB51?

MSEG-SGTXT is not visible in MB51 t-code. If you will use MKPF-BKTXT (Document header text), then you can see it in MB51.

Hi,

   You can add the field MSEG-SGTXT in MB51 in the path: OLMB - Reporting - Define Field Selection for Material Document List. Here, add the field as shown below:

    Now the same will be available in the layout in MB51. Please check and revert back.

    Refer the doc: for more details.
