Hi

The field has to be made optional in client level, plant level and transaction level. then only it will work. if at any of these levels, the field is kept reqired or suppressed, it will take precedence over the 'optional" . Please try in these lines

Hi,

Field MAKTX is a mandatory field. You cant make it optional I suppose.

Pl note the following from SAP HELP:

Enter all required information. Fields in which you must enter data are

prefilled with a checkmark or question mark ("?") by the system. If the

current screen contains tabs, check all tabs to make sure you have

filled in all required fields. Then restart the action.

Hi Yes,

the short description cannot be switched off it is core data for the material master record.

Why would you want a material with no description anyway?
