Bom massive change of item category

dear
can you suggest a valid tool for a massive change of item category.
I need to change the item category of many bom component.
The old value is L , the new value is N.
In transaction CS02 is very difficult to change the item category of a component.
Thanks.

Hi,
It is not possible to change the Item Category. You would need to delete the line & re-create back with the new item category.
You may use CEWB as suggested above, or you may go for a Z program.

In PM order, can we change the material description for item category N?

Hi,
In Plant Maintenance work order, is there a way to change the material description while purchasing material (item category N) using a material master number? In config. the material description field is open for input. However on the work order components screen it becomes grey as soon as one enters a material master number.
Background: We want to maintain generic material master records in the system and use them for purchasing materials (item category N) on work orders so that the purchasing data defaults from the material master. But we need to be able to change the description per the specific requirement.
Similar functionality works on sales orders. Are we missing anything?

Hi there,
One solution would be to have some generic materials created and used them during work order processing. These generic materials needs to be extended to all the required plants.
Hope this works,
Cheers !!!

How to control item category in ME21n via authorization

Hi,
When creating/changing PO in ME21N/ME22N how can I give access to only certain item categories via authorization objects.
Many thanks for your help.
Alain.

Hi,
Please check the following:
If to a certain document type is assigned the 'blank' item
category (Category Text : Standard) for the document type in customizing ( Transaction olme ->
Purchase Order -> Define Document Types -> Select Document Type 'ZSVC'
-> Click Allowed Item Categories ), the system therefore would allow for the
item category to be left blank when the PO is created/saved, even if the
field selection key specifies it to be mandatory.Please note that in
case of the item category, the field selection key customizing is
actually not considered here but only the item categories defined.
If you would like to require an item category to be entered for the PO,
then kindly delete the standard item category type and other item category types rom the customizing of
the document type you use.

plz let me know if there is any enhancement or exit for this net price to be displayed if the item category is consignment.
plz let me know what r the ways, i can display the net price in ME21n for the consignment item category?it is urgent.
any idea is highly appreaciated.
Thanks & Regards

Hi Pabitra
I guess the price is taken from the material info record. Here the item category might be a part of the access sequence.
To get the same info, follow the below steps:
1. Go to Transaction: MEK3
2. Give the condition type as PB00
3. Click on Key Combination from the application toolbar
4. Select Material Info Record
5. Next selection screen shows you the list of mandatory fields. If item category also exists here, give '0' & 'K' for Item category and other fields like vendor number, purchase orgranization, material.
6. Execute.
7. In the next screen if you can see only one record for item category '0', it means that condition record for item category 'K' is not maintained.
Hence the price will not be extracted.
Hope the above info helps you.
Kind Regards

My question is :
Is there a way to edit/change the Item category field without deleting the item?
Whethere is it possible to do it in bulk update for group of items in SA?
If it is possible, pls provide how to do it with steps.
Kindly advice.

Item Usage in Item Category Determination?

What is Item Usage in Item Category Determiantion?

Hi Farhan,
Usage field will tell what is the purpose of Particular Material
Example
FREE: For free goods Material
CHSP: Batch Items
TEXT: Text Materilals..etc
Item Category Usage: It controls system response during document processing. The line item has an specific usage according to that usage it has to respond. Free for free items, text for text items etc.
Usage field will covney the material details.
The usage field tells whether it is related to the higher level of item category. and how that material given usage should behave in the partifular sales order line item. for example in free goods we give this usage as free and in text items and in material determination and in BOMS. u can also view this in CMIR.
Item category Determination: Sales Document type + Item Category Group + Usage + Higher Level Item Category
TA + NORM + FREE + TAN = TANN
Hope this will solve your problem.
Reward Pts if it solve your problem.
Thx & Regards,
Pankaj

Item category in a return order

Hi Gurus,
The scenario is like : We created the sales order and completed the Goods Issue and then the invoicing for the sales order. When a return order is created, (return giving reference to the original sales order), can anybody please tell me how the item category in returns order is determined.
We have checked the item category assignment in SPRO, but couldnt get the link between the original sales order attributes and the return order item category.
Any help in this regard would be of help to us.
Regards,
Krishna Mohan

Hi Krishna
In standard SAP, "Return order(RE)" can be created either with reference to "Billing document" OR "Sales order" and there is no Madatory reference for Return order (RE).
Therefore, Return order can be created without any reference also ,in standard system.
In Copy control (VTAA), you can find OR to RE as source and target document pair.
Similarly, in copy control (VTAF), you can find F2 to RE as source and target document pair.
If it is required in your organisation, then you can mark "reference mandatory" for Return order (RE).
When you create a Return order(RE) with reference to Sales order(OR),in Copy control (VTAA), no Item category has been proposed for the Target document RE, therefore it is determined from the assignment in the customisation ,as below.
Sales doc type + Item category group + Item usage(if any) + Item category of higher level item(if exists) = Item category.
e.g, RE + NORM + (blank) + (blank) = REN
If ,you create the Return order(RE) with reference to the Billing document (F2), then in copy control(VTAF) at item level, Item category(REN) has been proposed for the target document, so system copies that to target document RE.
So, as beacuse you are creating the Return order(RE) with reference to the Sales order(OR), you have to check the assignment in customisation as above.
Beside this, "Credit for Return(RE)" is always created with reference to the "Return order(RE)" and NOT with reference to the "Return Delivery(LR)", in standard SAP.
That is why ,if you check the Item category REN, you will find the "Billing relevance" as "B"(Order related Billing docuemnt).

Item Category and MRP type for material is not allowed

Hello all,
I got a Error Message:
Transaction Z113 is not defined (Message no. V1347)
Diagnosis
This combination of item category Z113 and MRP type for material is not allowed.
System response
The system does not allow further processing of this item.
Procedure
Check your entry.
You can display the combination defined in table TVEPZ, which controls scheduling line category determination, and change it as required if you have the authorization to do so. The MRP type for the material may be changed in the material master.
The SD Configuration seems all right, I have:
Sls Doc Type (VOV8) ZA9 (no delivery type assigned)
Item Category (VOV7) Z113
Assigs Sls Doc & Item Ctgry (VOV4) ZA9/ZNOR/blank/blanl/Z113
ZNOR = Std Item-Av. chck Del
ZNOR defined in MM03/Sls Org 2
Define Schedule Line (VOV6) = Z7 (without delivery)
Z7 has FLAG on Prod Allocation
Assign Schedule Line (VOV5) = Z113/ND/Z7
At table: TVEPZ
I have the entry: Z113/ND/Z7
Guys, what would?
Please help me out because I am stuck in this issue.
Thanks a lot,
Barbara

Barbara, this may be tied to Strategy Group on the Material Master (I can't read enough into the detail)
Item Category determination + MRP Type for your schedule line type ties to a Sched. Line category(this you know)
New Rqmts class gets tied to a Rqmts Type
New Rqmts Type gets assigned to rqmts class
Strategy, assign the Rqmts Type to it
Strategy Group, Assign the Strategy to it
MM02 [MRP3 view] strategy group should be the one that ties together (all the other ties
It may be something in this area that you need to trace through ?

Item category to control the sales qty?

Hi experts
I hope to query how item category works ? Now we found if the high level matieral item category as A, low level matieral item category as B.
In BOM, we set 1 A = 2B . When we place quote or sales order, it will say " the B item only could set qty as 1" .
Does it control by item category ? In BOM, it could set B matieral qty as 2. but in sales order, it give error when we do ATP check and check the productuion order.
How to solve it ?
Thanks
ALICE

Dear Alice
I donot understand your requirement fully
Header level TAQ u2013 Pricing applicable to header level
Item level TAE- Item level only components ( no pricing)
Header level TAP- No pricing
Item leve TAN- Pricing (Only components have pricing)
Similarly for free goods. TAN & TANN.
This can be determined by sales order type + item category group + usage + higher level item category

PM - Task List Components with "Non-Stock" item Category

Hi:
I am setting the PM module, in concret the preventive task lists. For a certain operations I have to assign some components to certain operations, but the system only allows to add "Stock Items", I mean the item category of the material row is set automatically by the system as "L" (Stock Item).
I am very interested in to assign "Non-stock items" (Item category = "N").
Is it posiible??
If the answer is yes, what I have to do? Have I to change some customizing settings?
Thank you very much in advanced,
Kind regards,
Jordi Palau.

hi
In task list you cannot able to assign item category other than L which is stock item.there is no customization to allow the same
but you can indirectly assign the material with item category N.create BOM for the equipment then while adding the material you have to select from the BOM which is having item category N

Ill give you other function used with item category T in one of our latest projects:
They have contracts and PO generated through SRM. so if you need any addition or revision to the PO/contract, they created another document type as PR called revision PR for contract and revision PR for PO, to let the SRM know that the current contract/PO needed revision, so in this document they first create a line with item category T and put in short text and quantity 1, then automatically through customizing the system asks for contract/PO number, you input the number and the value gets inputted from PO/contract, thus created a link with the exisitng PO. Then second line follows with the revision required e.g. quantity or value added and then document is saved, and then this document is trasmitted to SRM and through document type and item category T they know that which PO/contract revision is needed and the revision of quantity/value is added to the PO/contract.
Same goes with integration which means a PR already exisits and another PR is created to integrate with the already exisitng PR.
