How to get material group description, not its key, in a CDS View?

[SAPSupport]

Material group description is required in the PO smart form, and we don’t find any CDS for the material Group Description.
The requirement is how we can find the Material group description concerning the material group.

Hi there,

You can use the "I_ProductGroupText_2" datasource, it has ProductGroupText name field, which is the Product Group Description.

PS.: Product and material are basically the same thing.

You can retrieve this data with "API_PRODUCTGROUP_2" too! Its documentation is available at Product Group Data - Read | Business Accelerator Hub

Hope this helps you out!

Kind regards,
Ícaro
