Copying the BOM Long Text 

Use

In the planning run, the system creates a purchase requisition directly for non-stock items without a material master. The system thereby copies the BOM long text into the purchase requisition.

Prerequisites

  • The component does not have a material master record and is set in the BOM as a non-stock item in the Item category field.
  • You have entered a long text in the BOM item.

Procedure

  1. From Customizing for Purchasing, choose the IMG activity Define text types and copying rules.

The screen for maintaining the text types now appears.

  1. Choose New entries.
  2. Enter a text ID for the text type and enter BOM Item text as the meaning.
  3. Select the line with the newly created text type and double-click in the left screen area on Links.

The screen for maintaining the text links for the selected text type now appears.

  1. Choose New entries.
  2. Enter a sequence number and choose BOM as source object and BOM item text material BOM as the source text.
  3. Save the text link and text type.

You see the newly created text type, when you choose Goto → Texts → Text overview in the item overview or the item details of the purchase requisition.

The Customizing for text types is cross-client. The Customizing for links is dependent upon the client.
