Suppresing Delivery note prints for certain sales order types/item category

Hi
I need to find a way of suppressing some delivery notes from being printed.
Relating to orders for consignment fill up and consignment issue.
The delivery notes are needed to be printed for 'Consignment fill up order' type, BUT not for Consignment issue - as this is confusing some of the warehouse staff at month end.
All have the same delivery type, the only difference i can see is the item category types are different
Is there a way i can use the sales order type, with customer number as an access sequence for the Output type ?
- Or the Item category type ?
Is it possible to add sales order type or Item category into the FIELD CATALOG :- output for deliveries
Your help would be much appreciated
Cheers
Tony

Hi,
I can suggest you something, but do remember that I've never done such kind of thing till date.
>> Copy LF and create new delivery type
>> Assign this to your consignment doc. types
>> Kindly remove the Header output determination procedure assigned to this new delivery type
>> Then assign output det. procedure at Item level {according to Item category}
>> Then check if will cater to your requirment or not.
Please keep one thing in mind that I am giving you a proposal by thinking in one logical way and I can't confirm the practicality of the proposal.

Order type & Item Category

Dear SAPers,
i used to work with the standard Order Type and Item Category. Now i decided to copy and change them. By raising the sales order (with my order type 9OR) i don't get the item category 9TAN that i created. How can i solve that.
Thanks

Hi
Go to (VOV4) and do the Item category Determination for your Sales Document Type, Item Category Group & Default Item category. if this assignment is done, then once u raise the sales order then u can find your item category.
Hope this will help.
Thanks & Regards

Split Charging for PO-Framework Order with Item category B- Blank Item

Hi,
how can i make the system split the qty percentage/charging for Framework Order ,Charge to Project and Item Category of B- Blank item during PO creation/change. This functionality is behaving normal for a standard PO charge to P and item category is standard.
we are using ecc6 and we dont use any material master..
Thanks in advance..
She

Hi,
This can be controlled through account assignment category,
In SPRO > Materials Management > Purchasing > Account Assignment > Maintain Account Assignment Categories > Double click on account asignment category > Fill the field distribution according to your requirement.
During PO creation, in item details, account assignment tab, you can give the split.

Added custom field to VA01 should be mandatory for a particular order type

Hi experts,
I have created a custom field in Additional Tab B (Screen 8459) in VA01 at the item level. Now that field should be mandatory for a particular order type. If a sales order is created with that order type then the user cannot save the sales order without putting any value to the custom field. Please can anyone suggest me how to do that?

Hi
Sap_wiz is right. It's the same that in this [post|Re: Enhancement in VA01 Additional data B tab].

Payments based on inventory type, item category...

Hi,
I am trying to develop a report to show unrecorded liabilities - basically, I need to find out if there are payments/accounting documents/invoice number existing in the system, that has no connecting documents in purchase or sales side. I am able to do this using REGUP/BSEG/VBAP/EKPO (and corresponding header) tables.
I am stuck at one requirement though.
"Segregate payments in to inventory, non-inventory, no-link categories based on product/service (item type/item category) or/and vendor type (inventory/non-inventory)."
Can someone please tell me how to divide payments as mentioned above? Is it based on material type?
Thanks in advance!

If FI postings for inventory and non-inventory are posted to different G/L accounts then you should be able to filter that using HKONT field in BSEG. On the purchasing side, if G/L account number won't suffice then check if you can use cost element field KOSTL. On the sales side you should be able to filter this using PRCTR.
If this approach cannot be used then you have to drill down to VBEP table and check if there is a movement type attached to this order item (for third party items, check for VBEP-LFREL = X). This will be accurate depending on how sales configuration was set up.
On the purchasing side, use a combination Item category and Account assignment category in table EKPO to identify and segregate the totals.
Raj
PS: The first approach is the best approach and I hope that is how they have configured it in your system

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.

Hi,
I am facing some new situation. The user is trying to create Consignment Issue order. After giving evrything when it is "ENTERED", the pop up coming "You can not enter Schedule line data for Item 000010". I checked that the schedule line has been defined for this Item Category and this item cayegory is showing against F4 and it is taking but the moment "ENTER" is pressed this item category vanishes and the quantity field becomes empty and Grayed. Even it is not possible to keep the curser on the field of material quantity.
Please guide me to ivercome the situstion and to create the consignment issue order.
Thanks,
Jans

In normal consignment process, system wont give this pop up message during issue order stage. Please let me know the message number and also you have to update whether you followed standard document types, item category and schedule line category. If you have zee types, then you need to compare with standard settings.
thanks

Returnable Packing - Sales order maintainance / Item Category determination

Gurus,
I have question about returnable packing regarding sales order entry and item category determination
1) Sales order : Should we do entry of returnable packing in Sales Order as a regular item
Example : The material M1 - 100unites needs returnable packing materials PK1 5 unites.
Therefore in sales order it should be entered as below
M1 - 100unites
PK1 - 5unites
Please commnet.
2) Item category determination should be done at sales document level
Sales document type + Item category group (LEIH) + Usage (PACK) + Higher lever item Cat (???) = TAL
Please commnet.
Regards,
Ashish

Hi
Yes Ashish you need to enter the returnable as a separate item in the sales order
For qn no 2 the item categories of higher levelitems can be TAN and TAX
Sales document type + Item category group (LEIH) + Usage (PACK) + Higher lever item Cat (blank) =TAL
Sales document type + Item category group (LEIH) + Usage (PACK) + Higher lever item Cat (TAN) =TAL
Sales document type + Item category group (LEIH) + Usage (PACK) + Higher lever item Cat (TAX)=TAL
Note returnable packing items are creates as a separate materials with material type as LEIH and item category group as LEIH
How to bring back the returnable packaging stocks to your plant
Creating a Returnable Packaging Pick-Up
Create a sales order using order type LA /AT.
Enter the required data on the customer, the returnable packaging, and the plant to which the materials are to be returned.
Enter all other relevant data and save the order.
Create a returns delivery for the sales order when the materials reach your company.
The system proposes delivery type LR automatically. The transaction is completed by the goods receipt posting which initiates a transfer posting from the customer's special stock to your plant stock.

Subcontracting Order with Item Category L from Sales Order

Hi ,
I am looking for the way to create an Purchase requisition automatically from a sale order with Item Category "L" Subcontracting.
I tried but it is creating a PR with Item category "S" Third Party.
Can any body tell me where I am missing.
Thanks ,
Lekhram

Hi,
From the sales order look at your schedule lines to find which Schedule Line category is being called for your master data and document type of Sales Order.
Go to config for schedule line category and change the item category assigned in its details. This item category is not to be confused with your SD item category. This one is of purchase requisition that gets generated from SO# in the case of Third party.
IMG> Sales and Distribution>Sales>Schedule Lines>Define Schedule Line Categories
It would be 5 - Third Party. Change it to 3 - Subcontracting.
Reward if helpful.

How to Find Out The Production Order Number For The Sales Order Line Items

Hi All,
I want to know the number of production orders for each sales order line item. I know the sales order number .Can anyone tell me how the tables can be linked to get all the production order numbers for each sales order line item.

I think it depends on your configuration. But check fields KDAUF and KDPOS in table AUFK. or in table AFPO.

Delivery Output determiantion using Delivery type & Item category

Dear all,
I am facing a problem while triggering output using Delivery type/Item Category access in access sequence xyz. I have maintained the condition record for this access and did all the necessary customization settings.
When i maintain the condition record for other access in Access sequence xyz the out put is being triggered.
After some analysis i found that the Delivery type/Item category is using different communication structures.
ie. Delivery type is using KOMKBV2-LFART. where as Item Category is using KOMPBV2-PSTYV. The output is a header output.
can any one explain the problem here in maintaining different comm structures for an access for generating header output.
Thanks in advance for your inputs.
Best Regards
Satish

Hi,
You mean to say its not triggering the output automatically.....
If that is the case then goto the condition type in IMG and in tab "default values" make the dispatch time as "send immediately when saving the application" this will automatically triggers the output based on the condition records.....
