Material Description is presented on the Purchase Requisition's language and not on the user language in the transaction MIGO

Material Description Language difference in ME53N and MIGO

When you create a Purchase Requisition (ME51N), the document is created in the logon logon language (field EBAN-SPRAS).                                      

The language is not displayed in the document. You can only see it on the database.                                                 

 Example:                                                                     

In ME51N:                                                         

->if you are logged on ‘DE' you will see the material short text in ‘DE'

->if you are logged on 'EN' you will see the material short text in 'EN'

                                                                

But once the Purchase Requisition has been created, in ME53N:                                 

-> if you are logged on ‘DE' or 'EN' you will only see the material short text depending on what you have in EBAN-SPRAS field.

This means that if it was created in 'EN', even if now you are logged on ‘DE' you will see in 'EN'.          

                                                        

The program will select the following fields:

EBAN-MANDT                                                    

EBAN-BANFN                                                             

EBAN-BNFPO                                                              

EBAN-TXTZ01                                                             

EBAN-SPRAS                                                       

                                                             

So if you created in 'EN' you will only see the material short text in 'EN' in ME53N. If you created in ‘DE' you will only see the material short text in ’DE' in ME53N.

As a consequence, the document creation language will be considered in subsequent postings like the Purchase Order (ME23N) and the Goods Receipt (MIGO), even that logon language is another one.
