Missing item category & material description in sales order screen

Hi all,
We have upgraded SAP from 4.6C to ECC 6.0 version. In the sales order screen (create, change & display mode) the item category & the material description cannot be seen at the item level in the ECC 6.0 version. The same appears in the 4.6C version. I have done the following checks:-
1. There are no screen variants/ transaction variants/layout settings in both the versions
2. The config settings for item category are intact in both the versions.
3. In the item detail view i am able to see the item category.
4. There is no change in the functionalty as i am able to save the order  & complete the Sales cycle upto billing in the ECC 6.0 version
Any ideas as to what could be the problem & how to fix it.  Pl suggest as it needs to be fixed urgently.
Regards,
Ramesh Iyer

Hi,
Have you checked the table control setting,which is avialable in the sales order screen at extream right.In this check in administrator button if Those fields must are marked as invisible.

  • Material Description in Sales Order based on Ship to Party Language

    As we know that Material Description coming in Sales Order is based on the Language setup in Sold to Party. Is there any way I can get the Material description based on the Language setup in Ship to Party?
    If not in Sales Order then anyway I can get the Material description based on the Language setup in Ship to Party in "Delivery" or do I have to use the user exit to do so?

    Hey,
    Why u r bother about translation of language description in sales order from ship to party n all.
    c u can even take language description from sold to party, as u wanted from Ship to party. for this u just have to maintain language in alternate data tab in CMR.
    Thanks

  • Inactive Material Display from Sales Order screen

    Hi Everyone,
    In Continuation to my previous thread,
    [Suppress Cost Feild in Sales Order;
    I want to inactive "Material Display (F8)" from Menu: Enviornment, in Sales Order Screen.
    The requirement is that user must not display material related details, mainly cost, from Sales Order screen, itself.
    Thanks,
    -Sumi.

    Hi,
    To prevent user from displaying MAterial information from Menu bar refer to the following link form SAP. It has the complete answer to your question although it is for a different module.
    http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Snippets/TransactionVariant-AStepbyStepGuidefor+Creation
    The procedure would be same, except that in SHd0 transaction code you would be giving VA02 as T.Code instead.
    You can feel free to raise your queries if any after going through this link.

  • The Material description on sales order for a particular item is red text

    Hi friends,
    When I key-in a sales order for a specific material, the material description on the sales order appears in red text. What could be the reason?
    Sreedhar

    Hi Sreedhar
    First of all Welcome to SDN forum
    Coming to your query , As the material description maintained in MMR  is coming in red colour in sales order , First of all check in which colour you maintained the text in MMR . Secondly check the MAKT table .
    As you are telling for a specific material , check for other materials and their material texts & colour in sales order also

  • 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  error while creating sales order through

    Hi,
    I am trying to create a sales order through Bapi  and in between im getting the below error.
    ' Item category TAM is not defined for non material items'.
    Can anybody pls provide the solution for this.
    Thanks

    speak to your SD functional person.  The Error is pretty self explanatory; SAP is telling you that the item category for that order item is not permitted by your SD configuration.

  • Change in Material Description in Sales Order

    HI,
    We have a scenario where there's a change in our existing material Description and there's an existing SO of the said material. When we changed the description in MM03, it doesn't reflected/changed in VA03. The material description there, remains the same. Is there any other option where we can apply this changes, without even redoing the SO in VA01?
    For Example : Material 1000 with Description - Juana House Model 1 ; While the correct description should be Juana Basic House Model.
    Please suggest if there's any other options available. Thanks

    Hi,
    In VA02 you can change the material description (As per SAP Standard). If you are unable to modify material description, please check with ABAP consultant in below prog/user exit:
    Program Name: MV45AFZZ,

  • How to change material discription at sales order item level ?

    Dear Gurus,
            We have some requirement need to change material description at sales order item level , but in system it is in disable mode how to change that  into change mode in sales order item level?
    Thanks in advance
    Regards
    Venkat

    Not possible in SAP Standard.
    Instead why not create a Customer Material Info Record in T-Code - VD51?
    Alternatively it the requirement to change the Description is only for few Sales Order then create a Text ID & Enter the Description in Text Feild. Then in Smartform program wrie a code which will check for Material Description in the Text first & if not found then take from normal material Description in Sales Order.
    But Customer Material info Record seems to be the best solution.
    Hope this helps,
    Thanks,

  • Missing Item Category Group in Sales Area data

    Hi,
    Can you please help us. We cannot load some materials to our product catalog because of missing item category group in our sales area in crm. Can you please let us know why this happens? I know that this can be fix by doing request load but what might be the possible rootcause of this problem? Let us know if we need to check something. Thanks!
    Regards,
    Mike

    Any such missing configuration can not be dealt with technical manipulations. The easiest and right way is to (middleware) download or maintain all the required configuration settings.
    The possible root cause? Most probably the configuration in the source system (ECC) has changed and not all of them are in place in the CRM system. Check and run the delta / full downloads as appropriate.

    After setting up the following values, please ensure to do the setting for item category in t-code VOV4.

  • Screen variant for sales order screen

    Hi,
    I have a problem in using screen variant in sales order screen.

    I want to know that is it possible to make gray for material and material quantity column with screen variant or I can use another way?
    Thanks.
    Lida

    Hi Lida
    If I am getting it correctly,
    When an end user enters any particular  sales order ,u dont want user be able to add additional line item into the already created document,Right?
    Now there are 2 possibilities here ,
    1.If order or line item has status completed then u want to block?
    2.Order is in incomplete state inspite that  u want to block.
    System does not stop addition of line item in already created even completely processed sales order.
    You can do this by enhancing code in PBO module.You need to take help of ABAP developer for this.
    We have used order and lne item status in vbuk table for this .
    Create a custom error message for validation.
    U can use exit MV45AFZZ for the same.
    Hope this helps
    Regards

  • Item category determination for make to order item

    Hi experts,
    how can I determine item category(tak) for make-to-order. mean what should I put in ITEM CAT.GRP, USAGE AND HIGHER LEVEL ITEM CATEGORY GROUP. Please advice.
    Thanks in advance.

    Neel,
    Goto VOV4 and create new entry with
    your sales doc type + itm cat group + usage + higher leve item cat = TAK
    Just check your item cat group in material. If you have created TAK without copy then also check your SL assignment with VOV5.

    Regards,
    Seema

    Hi,
    Yes it is possible.we can have multiple invoice for a sales order of one line item.
    For this we should have order quantity not exceeds billing quantity at the item category level.
    Also we have to use teh field Quantity +/- indicator at the copy control level.
