Item Categories Display in Contract

Dear All,
In my contracts
1) In the development I am able to see the item categories ( through F4) assigned to that contract Type (No Restriction).
2) While in Production I am not able to view any Item categories ( through f4) unless I enter material in that line.
Can anyone tell me why is the entry restricted in production?
Configuration is checked. All assignment has been made. It is same as development.
Regards
Ashish

Hi Ashish,
I have understood your issue now.
I do not think it is an aauthorzation issue. In item category determination(vov4) for the contact type if you have assigned item categories that should be populated automatically in the contract when you click F4 on item category you are going to get dropdown menu with the concerned item categories.
Check once again VOV4 Settings for your contact type both in Development and Production.

Ravi Duggirala

  • SRM Item Categories for Consignment, S/Contracting and STO

    Hello All
    We have a requirement centralize the bulk of procurement activities from ERP to SRM, but this includes making provision for Sub-Contracting, Consignment Stock and Stock Transfer Orders.
    The thing is that requisitions with the Item Categories 'K', 'L' and 'U' are not made available to SRM (EBAN-EPROFILE remains blank).
    Has anybody out there had a requirement for these types of procurement to be handled in SRM and, if so, what approach was followed?
    Thanks for any input
    Regards
    Dave

    Hi Dave
    SAP dont support this functionality since there is no inventory stuffs handled by SRM
    Only you can try enhancement but SAP will not support this functionlity if you implemented this.

    http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SRM/BBP_CREATE_BE_PO_NEW-CreatePOin+backend
    from thread extracted
    In MAP_ITEMS (LBBP_PDMAPF01) you can find this coding:
    LOOP AT i_be_items WHERE ITEM_CAT EQ c_item_cat_mat OR
    ITEM_CAT EQ c_item_cat_third.
    In your case, we enter this coding with the following:
    i_be_items[1]-item_cat = 7 -> Stock Transfer
    I would suggest that you try a modification here:
    LOOP AT i_be_items WHERE ITEM_CAT EQ c_item_cat_mat OR
    ITEM_CAT EQ c_item_cat_third OR
    ITEM_CAT EQ 7. " Modification for Stock Transfer
    if you want to create a STO w.r.t Shoping cart for a stock materials, you can do it by enhancement in classic scenario.

  • Swap between two different item categories in sales orders for sub-contracting

    Dear gurus,
    my requirement is to have the ability to swap between two different item categories for sales orders for sub-contracting.
    This should be controlled by a combination of the material and a value maintained the Usage field in the Customer Material Info Record (for example by entering a ‘V’).  A combination of Sales Doc Type, Item Cat Group and Usage should result in the creation of a purchase requisition.
    In the event that a process order is required instead of a purchase requisition (i.e. the product is to be manufactured in-house instead of sub-contracted) the user must have the ability to change the Item Category within the sales order to produce a process order.
    The user would just change the item category within the sales order, and the system would automatically remove the purchase requisition assigned to the SO, and create a process order and assign it to the SO.
    Can you suggest any possible solution?
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi Majlo,
    In my system, I checked.  First created sales order with third party line item and then changed item category to normal item category.
    Till Purchase order not created, I can change Item category of my sales order line item.
    In this case SAP inform by log and once save delete purchase requisition of that line item .
    For this you need to assign another item category as an manual item category in SPRO Item category assignment.
    After this user can manually change item category to other one manually, if PO do not exist.
    Please let me know if your query is different.

  • Relevance of item categories M & W in contracts

    Hi gurus,
    Can anyone through some light on relevance of item categories M & W in contracts.
    Thanx in advance.
    Tulja Thakur

    Dear Tulja
    The function of item category is to influence document field control.
    The contract specific item categories M and W are mostly used when you do not intend to use material number.
    For W-Material group:You can create a contract for a material group (e.g: footwear) such that while creating contract release order you can specify various items (shoes, floaters et.al) against that contract provided account assignment category is mentioned. 
    For M- Material Unknown:You create this type of contract with a vendor where he can supply various materials against this contract. Material group is required.
    With Value Contract (wk)  you can use both M and W type of item categories but with Quantity contract (mk) you can only item category M
    Hope this helps

  • Change item categories purchasing

    Hello,
    I found thread 1582236 via google. It nicely explains how to get the "invoice receipt" flag out of the purchase order by default (text below). I tried to change the customizing like described via IMG path:
    Materials Management>Purchasing>Define External Representation of item catagories>0/Standard
    But for me this customizing for "Define External Representation of Item Categories" is all in grey. I am not able to add new items categories or to change the existing ones.
    So can it be, that it is not possible to change item cats attributes ("Define External Representation of Item Categories") for purchase orders, or can someone confirm that it is changeable?
    Thanks
    Hi Ashish,
    Basically when you talk about procurement, it is always chargeable (that means purchasing of materials or services mostly purchased at a certain price. That means when it is chargeable, defnetly there must be invoice (accounts payable to vendor) for that perticular item (that can be for material or a service) in the purchase order.
    In above, case the Invoice Receipt Indicator is set (indicator set automatically) in the Invoice Tab of the Item details in the PO. And that specifies whether an invoice receipt is linked to the purchase order item.
    Note: If the Invoice indicator is not set, the means goods are to be delivered free of charge.
    And the above is based on the default configuration that is available in the system, but it can be customized as per your specifications, is as follows:
    Steps for that configuration setup:
    --> Display IMG (SPRO)
    --> Materials Management
    --> Purchasing
    --> Define External Representation of item catagories (click it)
    --> Here you can set the IR indicator depending on the type of procurement for the Item catageory (lie, std, thridparty,etc)
    --> click it, by choosing the required combination of item cat(internal) : item cat(external)
    and, in the control: invoice receipt
    set the Invoice Receipt (this is only an indicator and it specifies that the PO item is chargeable and is to be invoiced. But it can be changeable (remove or set the flag) by user (when the item is delivered free of cost), it is just a link for PO item.
    And there is one more indicator IR indicator firm.
    there are TWO options:
    --> firm in PO (if you set this indicator, user can not change while creating or changing the PO)
    --> changeable in PO (if this indicator is set, it can be changeable if requires at the time of creation or change of PO through ME21N /ME22N)
    And also
    --> Display IMG (SPRO)
    --> Materials Management
    --> Purchasing
    --> Maintain account assignment categories (click it)
    And here, also you can set the same by choosing your required /specific account assignment categories combination.
    Note: If you set the Invoice Receipt indicator in the CONFIGURATION (that is in Display IMG) and this will effect to the entire process for all users. So, please goahead by keeping all these things in your mind and in concern with the team.
    Hope it clarifies you,
    Regards,
    Srin

    yes I can confirm what JouLes wrote. But you can only change what I told you before.
    if you can do customizing on anything else, then you should be able to do it here too, there is no authorization object for a specific IMG area or knot. either you have authorization for customizing or not.
    Are you in a developement client? In production client it is not possible to do this customizing.

  • Parent Child Value Sets for Item Categories

    I've tried to set up parent-child value sets, not independent-dependent sets for Item Categories but in vain. So, if Item Category has 2 segments - Category & Sub-Category; Sub-Category only shows valid values for a category. For example, if Category is 19 (Tools), the LOV for 2nd segment would only show 28 (Large Tools), 29 (Heavy Tools) etc.
    Creating an independent-dependent combination displays all values for the independent & dependent sets.
    Just looking for help here.
    Thanks,
    Sanjib

    Karthik, Sandeep and Hugh
    Thanks for your responses. We greatly appreciate you taking the time to reply to this thread. My e-mail is [email protected], that is if you'd like to send any documents.
    Basically, this is what we were looking for -
    The category structure is
    Equipment 1 - Spare 1,
    Equipment 1 - Spare 2,
    Equipment 2 - Spare 1,
    Tools - Large,
    Tools - Small,
    etc.
    When selecting Codes for this structure, if I choose 'Equipment 1' for 1st segment, LOV for 2nd segment would only show 'Spare 1', 'Spare 2'. Similarly, If I choose 'Tools', I only see 'Large', 'Small' for Segment 2.
    Thanks,

  • Item Categories

    Hi All
    SAP Item category there is a field called Billing Relevance--ABCDEF......V
    please explain me the functionality of each alphabet,
    thanks
    regards

    Relevant for Billing:
    Indicates what the basis for billing should be.
    <b>A: Delivery-related billing document</b>
    Billing is based on the outbound delivery. Billing status is only updated in the outbound delivery.
    <b>B: Relevant for order-related billing - status according to order quantity</b>
    Billing is based on the sales document. The requested delivery quantity determines the billing status.
    Item categories REN (Returns) and BVN (Cash sales items) are set up with billing relevance "B" in the standard system.
    <b>C: Relevant for order-related billing - status according to target quantity</b>
    Billing is based on the sales document. The target quantity determines the billing status.
    Item categories G2N (Credit memo) and L2N (Debit memo) are set up with billing relevance "C" in the standard system.
    <b>D: Relevant for pro forma</b>
    The billing relevance indicator must contain a value (not be blank) in order to be able to create pro forma invoices. Indicator "D" can also be used as follows for cross-company-code business processing:
    In the case of a free-of-charge outbound delivery, the company code that is responsible for the delivery should be granted an internal settlement.
    You can use indicator "D" to record free-of-charge outbound deliveries and grant internal settlements to the relevant company code.
    <b>F: Order-related billing doc. - status according to invoice quantity</b>
    Relevant for order-related billing documents based on the invoice receipt quantity (third-party business transaction). The system transfers the order into the billing due list only after the vendor invoice has been received and processed in the purchasing department. After the receipt of each invoice, a  customer invoice is created for the quantity that appears on the vendor invoice. The order has status "Billed" until the next vendor invoice is received.
    Item category TAS (Third party item) is set up with billing relevance "F" in the standard system.
    This process can also be related to the quantity of goods receipt.
    You can make the control setting as to whether the invoice receipt quantity or the goods receipt quantity should be relevant for billing in the copy control for billing on the item level in the billing quantity field. (In Customizing, choose Sales and Distribution -> Billing -> Billing documents -> Maintain Copying Control for Billing Documents -> Copying Control: Delivery to Billing Document -> Item, then select an item category.)
    <b>G: Order-related billing of the delivery quantity</b>
    The order is relevant for billing. More specifically, the cumulated delivery quantity that was already delivered is relevant for billing. You can use this category to bill for multiple partial deliveries at once.
    <b>H: Delivery-related billing - no zero quantities</b>
    You can use this category to avoid items with a value of zero being included in the billing document.
    <b>I: Order-relevant billing - billing plan</b>
    Billing occurs by way of the billing plan and its status. The status of the order item is seen as the sum of the billing plan status and the billing status.
    Item categories WVN (Maint. Contract Item), MVN (Lease item) and TAO (Milestone billing) are set up with billing relevance "I" in the standard system.
    <b>J: Relevant for deliveries across EU countries</b>
    The outbound delivery is only relevant for billing if:
    1. The Plants abroad active field is selected (found in Customizing under Financial Accounting -> Financial Accounting Global Settings -> Tax on Sales/Purchases -> Basic Settings -> Plants Abroad -> Activate Plants Abroad)
    2. Country of departure (country where the plant is located) and destination country (country where the ship-to party is located) are different EU countries.
    Item categories KBN (Consignment fill-up), KAN (Consignment Pick-up) and NLN (Standard Stock Transfer Item) are set up with billing relevance "J" in the standard system.
    <b>K: Delivery-related invoices for partial quantity</b>
    You can use this indicator if you want to select both items and partial quantities for billing.
    <b>Q: Relevant for delivery-related CRM billing</b>
    You can use this indicator if you use CRM billing to invoice the items delivered and goods-issue-posted in the R/3 OLTP system.

  • Difference between Item categories M and W

    What is the difference between the Item Categories ' M ' and ' W ' ?. When & where these item categories are used?

    HI,
    The item categories M and W are intended for the entry of contract items without
    specification of the material number.
    Item category M
    Recommended for similar materials of the same price. These can be materials with
    different material numbers or materials without material master records.
    You have set up a contract with your vendor covering various types of writing
    paper (lined, squared, blank, two-/four-hole prepunched, etc.). The different types
    of paper have the same weight, the same quality, and the same price.
    When entering this contract item of category M, you enter the short description,
    material group, target quantity, unit of measure, and price, but no material number.
    The short description must then be entered in the contract release order (for
    example, lined, two-hole prepunched).
    You also have the option of releasing materials with a material master record
    against this contract item in the release order, provided that the material group and
    purchase order unit of measure agree.
    Item category W
    Recommended for materials belonging to the same material group but with
    different prices. Item category W can only be used in value contracts.
    You have set up a contract with your vendor for various types of cable. The
    contract is to cover all types of cable included in the vendor's price list. However,
    the exact type is only determined when a purchase order is created for a certain
    cable. Instead of creating one contract item for each type of cable in the vendor's
    assortment, you could enter item category W and the appropriate material group
    (for example, cable). From the short text, it would then be clear that the contract
    item covers all types of cable supplied by the vendor in question. Each release
    order issued against this contract would then contain the exact specification of
    cable type and quantity (for example, double-shielded coax, 1 meter), and price.
    When entering the contract item, you enter only the short text and the material
    group. You do not enter the target quantity or price. It is possible to enter
    additional conditions. For example, you can enter a discount in the header
    conditions if the vendor grants a discount on all POs referencing the contract. The
    discount is calculated automatically when a contract release order is created.
    The price, the target quantity, and the material number are not specified until you
    create a release order. The relevant material master record must be assigned to
    the same material group as the contract item referenced. If the contract release
    order does not contain a material number, it must have a valid account assignment
    (such as a cost center).

  • How to swap between to sets of item categories in sales order

    Hi,
    We receive Idocs from a different system that creates sales order in the R/3 system. For some of these, we want to be able to use an alternative sourcing mode - basically switch between standard POs and 3rd Party POs. The orders has many items, and we find it impractical to manually update all items - also because the order might contain different materials with maybe 5-10 different item categories, that needs to be changed to 5-10 others. This will be very difficult for our business users, since we do not have a simple naming convention of item categories to ease this.
    So we are looking for alternative ways, where we can change all items by changing on header level.
    We have thought of these alternatives :
    1. Change distribution channel. Requires all materials and customers to be set up in 2 DCs - not realistically.
    2. Change sales order types using VOV8 alternatives. This seems not to be allowed for materials in BOMs and with E consumption. See other thread named "Can not change SO order type - disallowed by item settings" for more details.
    3. What we we really need is changes on schedule line level, and I suppose we could have a logic in MV45AFZZ change this dependent on some user field. But I don't think this will work, as other settings controlled by requirement class etc. will be inconsistent.
    Proposals for this are welcome - it should be a common issue.

    Hi,
    We ended up designing a solution where item category was swapped by shipping condition. For shipping condition 11, we simulated that a specific 'usage' was active. It required a few tricks to get the Source determination to run, and a further trick to avoid a re-pricing B to nuke the pricing conditions. This is still draft code, but it seems to work :

  • How to reject Line Items in a Service Contract?

    Hello friends,
    Can anyone help me understand how do we reject items in a Service Contract? I don't see any Reject field. Is it one of the Status I need to configure for Item Level Status Profile? Even if I add a 'Reject' status, how do I link it to Rejection Reason codes? (I know how to add Reason codes in customizing, but how they are linked to a Transaction type is something I am not finding...).
    Please provide any inputs.

  • Items to display in list view web part not showing the items setup

    Hi, I have the following issue. I have a list view web part, but the web part is showing more items that the ones setup in the: Number of items to display in list view web part for this view.
    It is because that works when using datasheet view and not a normal view? Is there any technical documentation from Microsoft supporting this?

    thank you for your answer. It is interesting that the mobile view with the items to show in the mobile view doesn't work in the webpart, but it works when you are using datasheet view, but if you uncheck to activate the mobile view, then, the webpart doesn't
    show information, so, it works partially because one part works and not the other.
