Document type and item category

Hi All,
I have created two document types in MM for creating Purchasing Requisition. One for material and for service and material. But when i am selecting service and material document type, the item category at item level is automatically converted to D(Service) even though i dont select any thing(material). I have not done any settings for iterm category based on document type. Pls let me know why i am facing this problem.
Thanks,
Raju

Hi Amit,
For both the document types (Material and service, service) the item category standard and service are assinged. I have checked in SPRO--->MM-->Purchasing->Purchase requisition-->Define document type--->Check Allowed item category assingment and Link purchase requisition document type.
Hi Raghavendra
If SAP standard service document type then we cant take material and can take service only for creating PR, but in my case i have created one document type and named it as service and for this document type i have assigned item category of service and standard. In this case it should allow me to create PR with standard item category, but its not allowing me to do so. Pls let me know how can i solve this issue.
Thanks,
Raju

  • Order type and Item category group

    Can anyone tell me which is the relation between order type and Item category group from material master ??
    In fact the problem is that I have created a material and when I want to create new sales order it gives me this errror:
    "No item category available (Table T184 ZORDER ZITGR)"
    Is there a tranzaction where I can assign Item category group ZITGR to sale order type ZORDER or something like that??
    What should i do?

    Hi Dan,
    Goto T-Code VOV4 and maintain the table
    Sales Doc type + Item Category Group + Usage + Higher level Item Category = Item Category
    TA + NORM + Nil + Nil = TAN
    If you have Customized your own Document Type and Item Category Group and Item Category then give your
    Sales Doc type (ZORDER)+ Item Category Group (ZITGR)+ Usage + Higher level Item Category = Item Category (ZTAN)

    Hi,
    One thing please note that once you select the document type and draft the PR and save the PR, you will  get the doc number.
    Once you get the document number you cannot change the PR document type .
    The reason is document type is linked with number range so it cannot be changed because different seriers of document number is assined to differentdocument type. 
    And moreover document type is linked with the screen settings also. So I would request you to check the settings for each doc. type

  • Link material type and item category.

    Hi,
    Can you brief me on how following setting in SPRO works?
    Plant maintenance - Maintenance and service processing - Maintenance and service order - General data - Define default values for componenet item category
    When i checked, this setting is to link item category with the material type and item category is defined based on the material type and maintenance plant. But what is the relation in term of the order type i.e. whenever i create any order with a specifica order type, the default item category should get reflected on the componenets tab of the order?
    Is it possible?
    Can you guide me how to do this setting.

  • Reqirement type and item category

    dear friends,
    can u please tell me the link between requirement type and item category?
    i want to use the special stock for the delivery and as well as purchase requirement in case stock is not there...
    i m getting the right combination.
    plzz help....

    Hi Deepak,
    This is strategy for Determining the Requirements Type
    .  First, an attempt is made to find a requirements type using the  strategy group in the material master.
    .  If the strategy group has not been maintained, the system will determine it using the MRP group.
    .  If the MRP group has not been defined, the system uses the material  type instead of the MRP group when accessing the corresponding control tables.
    .  If no requirements type is found here, the system assumes a special rule and attempts to find a requirements type with the aid of the  item category and the MRP type.
    .  If this is not possible, a last attempt is made to find a requirements type with the item category only.
    .  If the last attempt fails, the system declares the transaction as not relevant for the availability check or transfer of requirements.

  • Disable the Item Availability Button based on Order type and Item category

    Hi ,
    My requirement is to disable the Item availability check button in VA01 based on the Order Type & Item category. Is there any user Exits/ Badi / FM available for this.
    Thanks in advance.
    Srinivas.

    Hi,
    Although it is an old post I need to answer for people who search an answer to the same type of question. To hide a field
    you can use transaction variant 'tcode:SHD0'. But it is not based on Order type and Item category. May be you can use
    USEREXIT_FIELD_MODIFICATION form in user-exit MV45AFZZ. You can loop at screen and set screen-active = 0 in fields
    where you want them to be inactive.

  • Difference between Material type and Item category

    What is the difference between Material type and Item category?
    We can differentiate different kind of materails according to material type then why do we have Item category which is also more or less on the same lines.
    Both can be considered as a terminology in SAP to group similar kind of materials.
    Please let me know the exact difference between the two?

    Dear Christino
    We can list out so many differences.
    When you create a material master record, the material type you choose determines:
    - Whether the material is intended for a specific purpose, for example, as a configurable material or process material
    - Whether the material number can be assigned internally or externally
    - The number range from which the material number is taken
    - Which screens appear and in what sequence
    - Which departmental data you may enter
    - What procurement type the material has; that is, whether it is manufactured in-house or procured externally, or both
    Together with the plant, the material type determines the material's inventory management requirement; that is:
    - Whether changes in quantity are updated in the material master record
    - Whether changes in value are also updated in the stock accounts in financial accounting
    In addition, the accounts affected by a material entering or leaving the warehouse depend on the material type.
    -Most importantly, Users can be authorized to create materials of specific material types but not based on item category
    - Item category will define whether the material should be valuated for stock or it should be considered as non-stock
    - Pricing is carried out based on Item Category and not based on Material type

  • SAP Best Practice for Document Type./Item category/Acc assignment cat.

    What is the Best Practice for the document Type & Item category
    I want to use NB -  Item category  - B & K ( Blanket PO) , D ( Service)  and T( Text) .
    Is sap recommends to use FO Only for the Blanket Purchase Order.
    We want to use service contract (with / without service entry sheet) for all our services.
    We want to buy asset for our office equipments .
    Which is the best one to use NB or FO ?
    Please give me any OSS notes or reference for this
    Thanks
    Nick

    Thank you very much for your response. 
    I hope I can provide some clarity on how the accounting needs to be handle per FERC  Regulations.  The G/L balance on the utility that is selling the assets will be in the following accounts (standard accounts across all FERC Regulated Utilities):
    101 - Acquisition Value for the assets
    108 - Accumulated Depreciation Value for the assets
    For an example, there is Debit $60,000,000 in FERC Account 101 and a credit $30,000,000 in FERC Account 108.  When the purchase occurs, the net book value for the asset will be on our G/L in FERC Account 102.  Once we have FERC Approval to acquire the plant assets, we will need to enter the Acquisition Value and associated Accumulated Depreciation onto our G/L to FERC Account 101 and FERC Account 108 respectively with an offset to FERC Account 102.
    The method that I came up with is to purchase the NBV of the assets to a clearing account.  I then set up account assignments that will track the Acquisition Value and respective Accumulated Depreciation for each asset that is being purchased.  I load the respective asset values using t-code AS91 and then make an entry to the 2 respective accounts with the offset against the clearing account using t-code OASV.  Once my company receives FERC approval, I will transfer the asset to new assets that has the account assignments for FERC Account 101 and FERC Account 108 using t-code ABUMN or FB01.

  • SharePoint search using Term-IDs doesn't work as expected for various document types and items

    If items or documents are tagged with managed metadata terms from the term store (no social tags, but pre-defined terms), you can find this content later on (after crawler has finished) using the following URL query:
    http://myserver/search/Pages/results.aspx?k="85f915a2-bd9e-4c94-a840-4323d37e8df9"
    The guid is the term ID (from the term store).
    Issue:
    That works great for office documents. It seems to be not working for several file types like txt, zip, aspx (inside page libraries) etc. All file types are generally registered with search crawler and are found correctly using the normal search, e.g. for
    the term name or other content. It also not works for me with custom lists that are tagged with a term.
    Questions:
    1. Is using this type of search url a documented and advised feature, to find content that is tagged with terms?
    2. How to setup search to find this items and documents consistently with "normal" search AND by term ID?
    Thanks, Frank
    Thanks, SharePointFrank http://www.layer2.de/en/products/

    Hello Frank,
    SharePoint contents tagged with managed metadata Terms can be searched by doing a search on “TermName”, and the search result could be refined by managed metadata. Please ensure your SharePoint site content source was crawled and Managed Metadata
    Service Application was running. Personally, using a TermID involved in the URL to search items tagged with metadata isn’t advisable due to difficulties when manipulating a ID number.
    Fabian Williams has included a managed metadata search section in his informative walk through:

  • Material and item category relationship

    For a given material, how can I get item category and higher level item category.
    I know mara stores item category group and t184 stores item category group and item category
    Thanks.

    Think you are going wrong way.
    Item Category and High Level Item Category are not assigned to Material, but they are assigned to Sales Document Type and Item Category Group. As you mentioned, you can get the details from table T184.
    Table T184 gives the options on how the system has to react in various scenarios.
    Combination of Sales Document Type in Sales Order, Item Category Group which is from Material Master and... result in the Item Category that is populated for the Item.

  • Item:000001.Order type ZBBK and Item category TAN not customized for

    Hello all,
    I got the following error message when trying to create an order. Please suggest.
    Item:000001.IP type ZBBK and Item category TAN
    not customized for
    Thanks,

    In config, you have to have assignment of the document types to the item category groups.
    In SPRO you can Assign Item Category Usage for a combination of -
    1] Sales Document Type
    2] Item Category Group and
    3] High level Item Category etc.
    The path in SPRO is Sales and Dist --> Sales --> Sales Documents --> Sales Document Item --> Assign Item Categories.
    Just below "Define Item Category Usage".
    Hope this helps.

  • Order type, Invoice type and Item categories for Nota Fiscal Brazil

    Hi eveyone,
    we have a company in Brazil implemented in SAP using a different SD Order type, Invoice Type and Item categories
    as our mother company in Switzerland. Reason of that is because of the nota fiscal customization for Brazilian legal requirements.
    We startet with a Project worldwide to rollout a global template within sales and distribution and are facing now exactly
    the problem with those different order type, item categories and Invoice type.
    Our local SAP partner in Brazil told as based on best practise we should have different types.
    I checked the customization and it seems I can't use e.g.: the same Order type for Brazil and Switzerland because
    the activation flag for nota fiscal is linked to the order type and no sales organization can be setted to slplitt the different processes.
    Someone knows if there are some possibilities (maybe trough user exits or badi's) to use globally the same dovument types, item categoreis... globally?
    Thanks in advance
    Gaspare Guttadauro

    Hi Gaspare Guttadauro,
    I would strongly recommend to use the different document types and item categories as suggested by SAP. Since Brazil do have one of the complex taxation process in place hence to determine correct pricing the different document type will be required. Also functionalities  like CFOP determination and nota fiscal relevance can be maintained.
    Please feel free to revert the forum in case of any doubts.
    Cheers

  • PO - Document Type FO and Item Category B - Can they be transferred to SUS?

    Hi SDN
    We are using R/3 4.7 with SRM 5.0 - Classic Scenario and XI 4.0.  We are just about to launch an SUS project to put our PO's on SUS for our suppliers.  Our organization is dealing with PO's for both Goods and Services.  As we know that there are no problems about putting the GR-Type PO's (NB type) on SUS but I would like to know if it is possible to transfer PO's that would be from the Document Type FO and Item Category B (Blanket PO) to SUS and ensure that our suppliers can do the entire PO Acknowledgement, PO Change and post the Invoice via SUS.  If not, what are the options for our R/3 - SUS installation?

  • A/c assignment category and item category fields purpose

    what is the importance of account assignment category and item category fields in po(me21n).what is the impact of that fields.

    Hi,
    Account Assignment category is a vital field in purchasing document &  has many control functions and helps in determining the object that will be charged in case of an ordered material which is procured for direct usage or consumption. By using the
    account assignment category in the purchasing documents the cost of the material can be apportioned to a single Controlling object or it can be apportioned among various Controlling objects.
    The account assignment category determines:
    a.The nature of the account assignment
    b.Which accounts are to be charged when goods receipt is posted
    c.Which accounts are to be charged when the incoming invoice are posted
    d.Which account assignment data you must provide
    Item category is vital field in the purchasing documents & has many control functions and helps in determining whether an ordered material:
    a.Requires a material number
    b.Requires an account assignment
    c.is to be placed in stock
    d.Requires a goods receipt (GR) and/or an invoice receipt (IR)
    In addition to the above it is also used for differentiating the different types of procurement processes and the types of stocks including special stocks available.
