PO Error No short text maintained in language ES - Short text in MM01
Question: I have a short text maintained in Material master in EN. The vendor master has a language set as ES( Spanish)
I logged in EN
When I try to create a PO i get a error "No short text maintained in language ES (please re-maintain material 106)" error number is ME095.
If I change the vendor lang to EN & maintain the ES lang in Material master, I am overcoming the error.
Can any one throw light on the importance of these texts & their effects.Vendor language is responsible for Po Prints I suppose & entry & display of text
Answer:
Basically, you need a communication strategy.
- What languages will you use to communicate to your vendor.
- Do not think theoretical, do it like it is done in real life.
- If you talk to your vendor in Spain, what language do you use?
- If you use English then put EN as communication langauge in your vendor master.
- You need to have material descriptions and many customizing settings available in the desired communication languages.
We usually use the local language for local vendors and English for all foreign vendors. If we have plants e.g. in Germany and Spain, then the spanish plants uses spanish for his local vendors and the german plant uses german language for the local vendors in Germany.
Both are using english for their foreign vendors. Shared vendors will have english too, as a german buyer is not able to talk in spanish or an spanish buyer is not able to talk in german language. Hence they would not know if it is accurate what will show up on a PO they create. They both can only validate the accuracy in a english written text.
Vendor language is responsible for PO Prints and I suppose also the entry and display of text. The language that SAP will be taken is from the Vendor language (Communication section) if I am not mistaken and this is the standard functionality of SAP. Of course, you can be able to manually change the language directly in the PO.
