Manual Item Category.

Hi All,
I have a requirement where i have to create a item category which user wants to enter manually in the Sales order removing the defalt one. But system is using all the 11 manual item categories (VOV4 assignment) and i want the 12th one which user wants to enter manually. Is it possible to have one more in the list? I have alternative methods to come out with the solution but i want to know if I can create the 12 item category though standard customization.
Awaiting for your replies.
Cheers,
Anil.

Hi
it suggested to change the standard code?
Enhancement means a pure ZEE development (not touching the standard)
The technical consultant will do it for you
Please let us know how can we achieve more than 11 shipping points or
11 manual item categories,
The technical consultant will do it for you

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

Manual item category gets overridden by default item category

When I enter a manual item category for a material in a sales order, it gets overwritten by the default item category maintained in VOV4 (maintained for the order type and item category group. This is in ECC6. It is working in 4.7 though. How do we permit the manuaul item category to be entered and not get overwritten by default item category?

Hi,
You have not mentioned in VOV4, manual item category has been maintained or not. Can you check the values are maintained in those column?
Also in the debug mode, you can check whether any user exit is restricting this.

Manual item category extension

Hi
Currently, in Sales Documents: Item Category Determination (trx VOV4) there are 11 manual item category columns. Is it posible to add more ? We have used all the manual item category coulmns and required to add few more.
Thank you,
Regards,
Sachin S

Dear Sachin,
You can check whether there is any possibility in adding fields to this table with the help of ABAPer.
However it is not advisable.
In standard SAP , there will not be usually scenarios where we have to maintain more than 5 or 6 item categories against each combination of sales order/item category group/usage/higher level item category.
Hence try to maintain the 15th item category in a different combination.
Please share with us the need for 15 manual item categories.
Thanks & Regards,

Change Item Category in Sales Order

Dear Sir,
We require Item Category field to be editable in VA02. Ours is MTO scenario when we enter Material in SO the Item Category fields gets grey out we require the same to be editable. We have also maintianed the MItC in Item category determination in VOV4 still the fields gets greyed out.
Please guide.
Regards,
Mahendra

Hi
Item category will only be in editable mode in VA02 unless and until the delivery is not made or partial delivery has been done
Manual item category is to change manually the automatic determination done by the system and not to input manually when there is no automatic determination
Even make to order item category TAK is in editable mode in VA02 transaction
May be something else in your setup controlling this

Item Category determination based on Order Reason

Hi experts,
There is a requirement where for a particular sale order type ( ZSC in this case ), there are 6 types of order reasons available.
And depending upon the order reason chosen, the corresponding item category needs to be determined automatically. It is a 1:1 relationship. That is for each order reason, there is an item category. This is not defined anywhere yet.
Is there any way of configuring this through customization or programatically in any user-exit available?
The user is ok with creating a customization table for mapping the order reason to item category. In this case, which exit should I write the code to automatically assign the item category according to the order reason chosen by checking this table.
Please help.
Thanks.

Since the Order Reason (AUGRU) is at header level (VBAK) and Item Category (PSTYV) at item level and the requirement is to check both these fields, you can try with any of the following exits:-
=> User exits in the program MV45AFZZ - USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_VBAP
=> User exits in the program MV45AFZZ - USEREXIT_READ_DOCUMENT
Also I am not clear on this
That is for each order reason, there is an item category. This is not defined anywhere yet
Do you mean to say that you have not made assignment in VOV4 ?? If so, what assignment is made.
In fact, in the exit, the coding should be in such a way that system should ignore this table T184, and check for the combination you mentioned for which you need to have a zee table with the combination of
a) Sale Order Type
b) Order Reason
c) Default Item Category and
d) Manual Item Category

Item Category determination in Sales Order

Hi
How to know, how item category determined in Sales Order. Is there any analysis available in Sales Order level, similar to output or text determination.
Problem here is in a particular sales order, item category is different compared to configuration. Nothing is recorded in change log. How to know, whether system determined this item category or user changed manually.
Regards
Uma

Hi
Problem here is in a particular sales order, item category is
different compared to configuration
I cant take this arguement
Sales order item cate will picked via the config maintained in VOV4
item category is different compared to configuration
Configuration someone might have changed after that sales order created
Nothing is recorded in change log. How to know,
whether system
determined this item category or user changed manually.
During order creation if you are inputting the allowed manual item category manually in salesorder then that is not a change
Hence it doesnot get recorded (VA01 T code)
During order creation a default item cate gets determined if you chnge that to manual, then that is also not a change
Hence it also doesnot get recorded (VA01 T code)
But in VA02 if you change the item category manually then it is recorded in change log
No item category determination analysis is available in standard and not reqd too
In your case only this could have happened
Configuration someone might have changed after that sales order created

Item category not changeable in sales order

Hi
I have a material where the item category is not changeable in the sales order after you have pressed 'enter' after the material number. It is a bundle material number, with a BOM (structure scope 'A') - does this mean that the item category is greyed out for change?
It is causing a problem because to select the manual item category in item category assignment, you have to change it before you press enter (and when you do that it only gives you a full list of item categories rather than the ones you can select for the assignment table).
Jon

this is standard sap !
the reason is that if you change something that has relations with other object then problems can raise.
You cannot do anything for this but you can make a user exit at your own risk that 'opens' up the field:
the exit looks like this:
MV45AFZZ
FORM userexit_field_modification.
CASE screen-group2.
    WHEN 'LOO'.
      IF screen-name = YourItemCategory AND xvbup-gbsta = ' '.
        screen-input = 1.
        MODIFY SCREEN.
      ENDIF.
ENDCASE.
ENDFORM.                    "USEREXIT_FIELD_MODIFICATION

Item Category Issue

Dear Experts,
While i create packaging in Handling unit ther is a tab of Additional Data in Sales and distribution.In that we have Item Category - Issue is i am inputing manual item category TAN but i want to pick automatically.
I am unable to find the setting for packaging Item category of Sales and distribution.
Plz provide your inputs.
Thanks
Shri...

Apart from what Jignesh suggested, follow the following steps for automatic packing:
1 In the Shipping screen choose Pack/load - Pack delivery. You see the Change outbound delivery screen.
2 Enter the number of the delivery that you want to pack, or select one using the matchcode function
3 Press ENTER. You see the overview screen Change Outbound Delivery: Overview - Quantities.
4 Choose Edit, then Pack. You see the screen Pack Items
If you want to pack all delivery items that are not packed, choose Edit - Automatic packing.
In this function, you do not need to select any items individually. All items and shipping units of the selected delivery that are not packed are automatically placed at the disposal of the user exits for automatic packing.
If you only wish to have certain items in the delivery packed, choose Edit then Autom.pack items
With this function, you must select the items and shipping elements to be packed. Then, only the selected unpacked items are placed into an internal table.
If you have set the supplied example to active, the program automatically searches, in both procedures, for the respective shipping materials for the items to be packed.
Thanks & Regards

Item Category check on Order Level

Dear Friends!
I want to restrict the item category on order level or disable the fields so that, no one can change the item category.
Please share your experience!
Regards
Anwer Waseem

Hello Anwar,
The Item category is determined using certain criteria defined in the transaction code VOV4. Here maintain the sales document for which you want a particular item category, Item category group from the material master and the item category that you need in the sales order. DO NOT maintain anything in the manual item category filed. If this is maintained then the user will be able to change the item category at the sales order level.
Hope this will help you.

Item category Proposal

Hello everyone
I'm trying to configure the copy control from an Invoice to a Sales Order Acknowledgement for a certain item category
Target Order Type ZRE from Invoice Type ZF2
Target Item Category ZRSI from item category ZKMI
example Item Category Group NORM
all document types (ZRE and ZF2) and Item Categories (ZRSI and ZKMI) are already configured and in use
I'm just trying to configure new copy control - but i've missed something somewhere
I've gone to VOV4 and have the following entry
SaTy     ItCGr     Usg.     HLevItCa     DfItC
ZRE     NORM               ZKMI          ZRSI
I have also gone to VTAF - Bill doc. to order copy control
and have the following entry
target doc ZRE source ZF2
under the Item folder I move down to teh ZKMI item Category
and have have the following configured
Target SalesDocTyp     ZRE                                       Source Bill. Type         ZF2
ItemCat Proposal         ZRSI                                      Item Category             ZKMI
I wasn't sure if i needed both sections configured from what I was reading but I went a head and configured both
But when I create a ZRE order type with Reference to a ZF2 billing document (the billing document has a line item with item category ZKMI)
the ZRE document defaults to a different item category ZRAQ
what am I missing?

I couldn't configure as you suggested
There is already a line but instead of Default item Category being = ZRSI it is ZRAQ
which is were I was guessing the system was pulling the ZRAQ category
however after you suggested removing the Higher level Item Category I deleted my previous
config and added ZRSI to one of the Manual Item Category columns after ZRAQ
Than ran another test I think that fixed it
It looks like the config in VTAF is set up to pull one of the item categories available in VOV4
does that sound correct?
I will configure the rest of the Item Category Groups and retest then post if that
has solved my problem
thank you for your help

Message no. V1321 - Item category ALES is not defined for this item

Hi,
I am trying to use ALES - Item Category for creation of the Sales Order. But i am getting this eerror message as Item category ALES is not defined for this item. Please let me know the config changes that i need to do to use this Item Category.
Thanks in Advance !!

To maintain the item category for a sales order type first you have to assign the item category in SPRO.
SPRO>Sales & Distribution>Sales>Sales Documents>Sales Document Item>Assign item categories.
In the screen Change view Item category assignement:overview screen
select your sales document type + ItemcategorygroupUsageHigherLevel Item category
Then you have to maintain Default item category and Manual item category.
Default item category will be proposed by the system when you enter a material in sales order. You can change the item category to any one of the manual item category maintained above.
For e.g.: You are creating a thrid party sales order. Default item category is TAN, if manual item category is maintained as TAS for this combination of sales document type + ItemcategorygroupUsageHigherLevel Item category and then system will allow you to change item category to TAS. If this is not maintained then system will give you an error as"Item category TAS is not defined for this item".
Again depending the item category further acitivites will be carried in SAP, like in third party item (TAS) PR screen will be displayed.

How to control Changing of item category in sales order Manually

Hello Gurus,
How to restrict manual changing of item category in sales order?
Reason for it:
When ever they want to give some free goods to customer , they are changing Item category in Standard Sales order at item level then deliverying free goods to customer
looking for your inputs
Thanks in advance
Regards
Venkat

Hello,
There are two possible ways:
1. In Item Caterogy Determination remove the Manual Item Categories so that system will determine the Item Category only from defined options.
2. Use T-SHDO - create Screen Variant & make the item Category Feild as Display only.
Hope this helps..
Thanks,
Jignesh Mehta

Standard and free goods item category

Hi
I have created one standard materia XYZ. in MM01( for Sales org 1000/ Dist. channel 10/ plant 1000.) and i have assigned TAN to this . Now i also need to process XYZ as free goods in some transactions.If I extend this material for the same organizational levels and assign TANN to my material XYZ. then at the time of creating sales order how the system will respond?
Or should i have to change the item category in VF01 every time when i want to give XYZ as free goods?
what should be the right procedure?
Regards
Jyoti

Hi Jyoti,
You mentioned that some times you send it as free item for this you better to enter TANN item category manually in the sales order no need of enter the item category in the VF01.
Before entering the TANN in the sales order for free item you do the itemcategory determination in VOV4 transaction with TANN as like this
Document typeItemcatogory group-->Default itemcategory(DfltC)as TANManual item category as TANN(Mltca).
Now you can able to enter TANN itemcategory manually in sales order.
I hope it will help you,
Regards,
Murali.
