3576902 - Missing Material Description Post-Migration

Symptom

After a migration of materials, the material description field is found to be blank.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Navigate to the Product Data work center.
  2. Enter the Materials view.
  3. Search for the relevant Material.
  4. Notice that the Material Description field is blank.

Cause

  • The materials are migrated with Language Code GB, which corresponds to English_GB, an available Additional Communication Language. This does not match the scoped language English, EN.
  • As a result, the records are imported as an Other Language which can be found under the corresponding tab within the Material.

Resolution

Perform the migration again, this time using the EN Language Code.
