  • Item Category determination using item usage

    Hi All,
    We have a scenario where we need to derive item category based on Item usage.
    We have defined a function module to derive at the item usage. Now we need to derive the item category based on this usage.
    We were able to do this and we are able to get the default item category for this. We have assigned few manual item categories also along with default.
    When we try to change the item category manually it is again resetting it to default item category.
    ex: OR LEIS  A  ->  Tan X    Y        (Where A is the usage,X and Y are manual item categories, OR is order typea nd LEIS is item category group)
    To expalin clearly the above Tan is getting determined as default correctly bit when we try to change it ti X it is not accepting.
    It is allowing to enter X and Y manually only if we have another entry above similar to this:
    OR LEIS    ->  Tan X    Y  (Without usage).
    Now we dont want the entry without usage.
    In debugging we noticed that usage field (VWPOS ) is blank.
    We understand that there is one function midule SD_VBAP_VWPOS_GET which derives usage for free goods,CMIR, repair items etc adn we are nto sure where they are calling this FM to so that the system determines item category based on usage.
    Cna anybody help on this please.
    Regards
    Basha

    Hi Raghu,
    you understading is correct.
    The purpose of using the usage in our scenario is to overcome the extra entry i.e without usage.
    We are deriving the usage but we are not sure where to call the Z function module so taht system will directly go to:
    Slaes doc type+ item category group+ Usage   -
    > IC
    with out checking for entry sales doc type+ item category -
    >  IC (in VOV4).
    The main purpose of using usage here is that system should directly go to the place where usage is used.
    It works fine when we go for CMIR and assign usage there but CMIR is not allowed.
    Please help.

  • Item Category determination while copying

    Hello Guys,
    What is the difference between Normal Item Category determination and Item category determination while copying? What could be the business logic behind this?
    Thanks in advance.
    Ravi

    I would maintain the entires to confirm what item categories could be copied from a quote AGIS to an TA order.
    Normally a TA NORM drives to a TAN.  If yo change the quote from a AGN to ZAG, you may want the order to drive to a TAS dropship ship.  Just gives you more flexibiilty without any coding.

  • User Exits for Item Category Determination based on Item Category Usage

    Hi Gurus,
    If I need to create a new item category usage code and perform item category determination using the new item category usage code, is there a user exit or function module which is able to perform this?
    Thanks & Regards

    Hi Lawrence Tam,
             If you are going to create a new item category usage to determine an item category, you need to add a new line in transaction VOV4 for the new combination of sales document type + Item Cat. group + usage + high leve item cat. to determine the item category.
    Thanks in advance,
    Mariano.

  • Item Category Determination for a service order

    Hello experts;
    I have the following funny issue, When i try to create a service order my item category doesn't get determined properly: specifically when i fill in the product in the SAP GUI the item category field doesn't get populated automatically...funny thing is that i do the exact same thing in the Web UI the very same field Does get populated correctly!
    The following are the customizations i have on SPRO: The all thing is copied from the standard but in the GUI the standard doesn't work either! and it does in the WEB UI. Any lights????
    Trans Type:ZSVO     
    Desc:DSGi Service Order     
    Item CtgGroup:NORM Sales Item (Norm)                                                                                Item Category:ZRVS     
    Desc:DSGi Product     
    Alternative Category: SRVS     Desc:Product

    I don't get it...
    It's as simple as that: the item i'm adding in the service order has Ctg Group DIEN and it was correctly downloaded from R3. The Item Category Determination is as follow:
    Trans Type: ZRVO     
    Desc: DSG T Service Order     
    Itm Ctg Group: DIEN Service w/ Delivery                                                                                Item Category: ZTVS     Service Sales Item
    Where ZTVS is the copy of the item category SRVS (Standard) which for some reason if i put instead of the ZTVS doesn't work either!
    What am i doing wrong?

  • Item Category Determination during Sales Order Creation

    Dear All,
    This is Chee Wee, i'm new to SD, i would like to seek for an advice for the topic related to Item Category in Sales Order.
    We have a material "Mat005" define as "Stocked" Item category in MM03,
    *Stocked means our MM team will always keep stock for the material.
    The document Item category assigned to this "Stocked" are "NoPo" --> No Auto Po creation and "AuPO" --> AutoPo  creation.
    During the SO creation for Mat005 with Qty50 and warehouse stock availale for 60, i'm wondering when i select the itemCat "AuPO", the system automatic changed to "NoPO", but when i change the order qty to 70, then i'm able to changed the itemcat to "AuPo"!!
    Can any Guru advice me what is the actual setting or configuration behind to determine which are the correct Item Category that i can choose?
    Thank you very much,
    Regards,
    Chee Wee

    Dear Chee Wee,
    Basically tem category will determine based on these key combination
    Item category group(Material master)+Sales document type(We enter doc type in the creation initial screen)--->Item category
    For Example NORM+OR--->TAN.
    As per your explanation
    I hope In your case stock availability also one of the factor in the item category determination.This might have done some enhancement.
    There are two item categories in your process one is  "NoPo" --> No Auto Po creation and  second one is "AuPO" --> AutoPo creation.
    the system automatic changed to "NoPO", but when i change the order qty to 70, then i'm able to changed the itemcat to "AuPo"!!
    60 Qty Stock available, you have created sales order for 50 Qt here requirement is less than stock availability so system will not allow you to enter AuPo item category Because there no need of auto PO creation for stock.
    When you created sales order for 70 Qty, stock available only 60 so there is shortage of 10 Qty.now system needs to allow to create Auto PO to procure the shortage stock of 10 Qty, so system is allowing you to enter Yaupon item category.
    There might be some work around kind take help of ABAPer to get the more details about your item category determination.
    I hope this will help you,
    Regards,
    Murali.

    Hello Robert,
    Firstly thanks for the time taken to reply to my question.  I got the below error for the Item but not the subitem.
    the item category TAP is not permitted for product XXXXXX" on item
    I have a product in ECC and the name of the product is "Section A". This is the main item name and all other line items come under the main item by the name "Section A". For this product, the item category in ECC is TAP. When it comes to item category determination, the following entries are maintained on both ECC and CRM side.
    Since TAP is the main item,I maintained the following entry on ECC and CRM:
    Txn Type
    XXXX
    Item categorygroup
    LUMR
    Item Category
    TAP
    Apart from the above entry, the following entry is also maintained on both ECC and CRM side.
    Txn Type
    XXXX
    Item category group
    Norm
    Main Item Category
    TAP
    Item Category
    ZAGN
    Have i missed something here Robert?
    Kindly confirm.

  • Item category determination with ref to price conditions in contract

    Hi Gurus,
    I have the following requirement from my client.
    They need the item category ZNSM populated when creating the sales order ZOR8 with reference to quantity contract ZCQ1 when the pricing condition type is ZPG6 or ZPFL.For this they are asking to change in copy control.The pricing condition is on the contract.Since the sales order is created with reference to the contract you should be able to use the pricing condition to change the item category.
    Please let me know whether this requirement can be met by making the changes to copy control.
    Regards,
    Hari Challa.

    Hi,
    If you want to populate particular item category for particular sales order, then go ot VOV4 item category determination and enter the value for
    Sales Doc. type + Item category group + Higher levl item cate. (if any) + Usage (if any)
    But if you want to populate this item category when condition type is ZPG6  / ZPFL in the contract, then i think you need to write some program with the help of ABAPer for routine in copying control
    Hope it helps you
    regards,

  • Item category determination in Lead

    Hi,
    I have created a Lead transaction type and done the Item category determination using the transaction type, Item category group and the Item category . Now when I am assigning the product to the lead transaction the Item category is not getting determined. The Item category group is already assigned to the Product .Am I missing out something . Pls help me out in solving the problem.
    Thanks,
    A Sahai

    1. check whether item category group is assinged to your product.(Select from F4)
    2. Define item category by copying the standard one.
    3. Determine the itemcatagory
        Transaction type+Item category group= Item category
    This also you do by copying the respective standard item category determination line.

  • Item Category Determination in Deliveries against STO

    Dear Guru,
    In our STO process, there will always have a Outbound delivery created for this STO PO.
    Actually my question is how the system deterermine the correct item category for the outbound delivery.
    I checked through configuration under "Define Item Category Determination in Deliveries" or tcode "0184", from which i can find the conbination by "delivery type" + Item category group, but there are many different item category usage and default item category
    As such, can anyone please advice me if there is any place where i can maintain the "item category usage" or "Default Item category" to allow the UB STO PO determine the correct item category.
    thank you very much
    Regards
    Chee Wee

    Dear Pankaj,
    So sorry, i'm still not clear.
    Actually for my client, they have a non-standard PO document type UB2 for the Stock transport order between 2 different plant and the physical address or location will determine by the storage location.
    and the complete flow is STO PO--> Outbound delivery --> Inbound Delivery with Ref. with outbound Delivery
    --> Goods Issue --> Goods Receipt
    and understand from other post, the Mvt type to be use for the outbound delivery will be determine by the item category and Sales Order Schedule line.
    For my case, the default Order type is YDL, and Item cat group in Sales Org view 2 is Norm, but for YDL + Norm conbination are many which having different Item catogory usage and Item category.
    So how can i know which one the correct item category in "0184" which i can use it to determine the Sales order schedule line.?

  • Item Category Determination- Usage

    Hi All,
             I am looking into my system configuration for item category determination.
    I know that Item category is determined based on
    1. Sales document type
    2. Item category group
    3. Usage and
    4. Higher level item cat group
    Here, I came to know that Usage is determined from Customer material info record. But in my system, I see a Line item with out usage maintained in CMIR but detemined the item category relevant for usage.
    Any of you guys have a thought on this?
    Thank you
    Kris

    Item Usage is not a mandatory field in CMIR (T.Code: VD51). Hence the same can be left blank and item category will be determined accordingly.
    From configuration point of view, I was refering to as under:
    Sales Order Type | Item Category Group | Usage | H.L. Item cate | Default Item Category
    OR | NORM | blank | blank | TAN
    OR | NORM | blank | TAP | TAN
    OR | NORM | APO0 | TAPA | TAN

  • 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

  • Usage in Item category determination

    Hi friends,
    In delivery item category determination there will be in field called "Usage" . Delivery type will be coming from delivery document type, Item category group will be coming from material master. In the same way where from this Usage data will be coming. How come the system knows which is FREE, CHSP, Etc??
    Can anyone explain me in detail please.
    Ratna Kumar

    Hi ramarao
    Spro --> Sales and Distribution --> Sales --> Sales Documents --> Sales Document Item --> Define Item Category Usage
    Item usage controls how the item category should behave during a document processing. Item usage controls the usage of the item. Item usage tells wheather it is a text item , free item , product selection item etc
    We can maintain Item usage feild  at CMIR also

  • Manual Item  category determination

    Hi friends ,
    I need to do a manual item category determination for the third party item ,as the material is not always a trading item, so the item category group is maintained as NORM in the material master and trying to change the Item category determination via VOV4
    As I am looking to have the below combination
    (ZZOR + NORM + + = TAN + TAS + TAB) the system triggers error message ...the key already exists but when I checked there was no assignment like this ...even I tried to change the item category manually to TAS in the sales order ....its not accepting.
    The only way I could find is just deleting the existing entry ((ZZOR + NORM + + = TAN + TAP + TAQ+TANN) and making the changes as (ZZOR + NORM + + = TAN + TAS + TAB). Now I am able to change the item category to TAS manually in the sales order.
    I dont think this as the right option.So pl let me know how cani go with this.
    Thanks
    Ivy

    Hi
    You are trying to make changes to the assignment related to the BOM.
    Please check for this combination - ZZOR + NORM + + = TAN  and add TAS in the manual item category field and save it.
    Now in the sales order you will be allowed to change the TAN to TAS.
    Thanks,
    Ravi
