how to change screen fields description in an Infotype in SAP?

[Former Member]

Hi Friends,

Could you please tell me how do we change a field description for feilds in any Infotype?

For e.g. if i want to change the field name First name in IT0002 to Fore name - how do it do it?

Can it be done through configuration or ABAP assistance is required in the same?

Any inputs would be appreciated .

Cheers

Hi,

You can do it with the transaction code: CMOD Project Management of SAP Enhancements, follow the steps...

Step 1: Enter transaction code: CMOD

Step 2: Enter the Project name

Step 3: GO TO -> Text enhancements -> Key Words -> Change

Step 4: Enter Data Element 'PAD_VORNA'

Step 5: Change the label from 'First name' to Fore name.

[sikindar_a]

yes ur right

here u can activate or deactivate the feilds

ans some time copy the screen

that is the reason i said in my first response ABAPER will come into the feild

if ur requirement is complicated

Hi,

As Sikinder rightly pointed out, it requires abap assistance. Generally the field names come from the data element descriptions. If you want to change the names, there are two ways of doing that.

1. Change the descirptions of Data Element. ( SE11 and Short text of Data Element)

2. Change the names in the screen itself. (SE51 and change the screen name).

Reward if helpful.

If it is a standard infotype, you can't do it without changing the standard, therefore you will need the SSCR key to make those changes.

How you actually do it, is by editing the layout of the infotype pool module throught tcode SE51.
