Material Name, Material Number (SAP Library

Material Name, Material Number

Determining the material name is dependent on the shipping reason.

Triggering report shipping manually

If you have maintained a long text in the R/3 component Material master, the first 132 characters of the basic data long text are displayed in the logon language.
If no basic data long text exists, the material short text is displayed in the logon language.
If no material short text exists, the identifier that the R/3 System determined in accordance with the identification listing D_MATNAM is displayed.
If no appropriate identifier exists, the substance key is displayed as the default value.

Determining the material name is done in the same way as determining the default parameter value (see Default Parameters for Reports).

Triggering report shipping automatically

When shipping is triggered from the R/3 component Sales and Distribution, the material sales text is displayed if you have set the environment parameters SRE_DS_TDID_DELPOS and SRE_DS_TDID_ORDPOS accordingly. For further information about the environment parameters, see the IMG activity Specify environment parameters in Customizing for Product Safety.

If you have not maintained a material sales text, the R/3 System displays the article short text.

For further information on maintaining the material texts for triggering report shipping manually and automatically, see the IMG activity Check external prerequisites.
