3676654 - Material visibility issue in APP "Stock - Multiple Materials" application in S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Symptom

When user logon the system in Chinese, in APP "Stock - Multiple Materials" , for a specific material, it can not be seen when user searching it in the "Material" filter column.

Environment

S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. When user logon the system in Chinese, APP: 库存 - 多种物料 (Stock - Multiple materials).
  2. Input the reported Material number in "物料“(Material), press enter directly,  the system will give red prompt: 输入唯一描述或从列表中选择项目。
  3. The system didn't recognize/locate this material. Users then can not press "Go" button to check material documents for this material. 
  4. The same issue doesn't happen when user logon system in English.

Cause

The functionality of the "Stock - Multiple Materials" application has correct/standard behavior, which offers a comprehensive search feature (collective value-help) for filtering by "material." Most of these search options, such as "Material Number/Material Description (物料编号/物料描述)" and "Material by Old Material Number /物料(按旧物料编号)," might face limitations when retrieving materials depending on your system's language settings.

For example, the material "7xxxxxxx" is currently available only in English within the system. Consequently, if the system language is set to Chinese, the search option "物料编号/物料描述" will not be able to locate this material.

Resolution

If user primarily work in Chinese, it is suggested adding the Chinese language data to the material master record.

This adjustment will ensure that all material searches align with the language preferences, thereby enhancing user application experience.
