User exit -Item Category Determination for a Home Delivery Shipping Condn

Hi All
1.     A Standard Order is created in ECC and if the shipping condition is HOME DELIVERY the default site that gets determined will be a HUB and if it is an UPS shipping condition the default site that gets determined is the PDC
2.     The default Item category determined for the delivery relevant items (Box1 and Box2) will be ZSNP which is fine if the Shipping condition is UPS and the site is PDC.
3.     However if the Shipping condition is HOME DELIVERY and the site is a HUB then the ZSNP Item Category has to be flipped to ZTBB which then will determine the correct Schedule line category ZB and triggers the IPO process. This in turn auto creates a purchase requisition on the PDC when the Sales Order is saved
plz help
thnx

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 Free Goods

Hi
I have configured inclusive Free Goods and have a second line correctly determined when I create a quotation or a sales order for a particular product.
However, I keep getting the error "Item 20: No item category could be determined".
I have created an entry in item category determination with TAN as my main item category and TANN as the item category for the free goods.
Any ideas?
regards
Tim

I forgot to specify that the usage was for Free Goods in the item category determination.
It now works.

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 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.

Item Category Determination for sales document- Item USAGE

Hi dear all.
I read already the discussions held around this subject, as I'm facing a similar problem for which I cannot find a solution.
I have the need to set up a ItCat determination for sales order ZPD.
The proposed ItCat must be ZPDW. However, for the NORM ItCat Group we have already a setup which cannot be changed.
This is the present status.
SaTy ItCatGrp Usage HLevItCat Proposed ItCat
ZPD NORM ZPD
I need that the proposed ItCat is ZPDW, under the same conditions
SaTy ItCatGrp Usage HLevItCat Proposed ItCat
ZPD NORM ? ZPDW
For that I believe that I'll have to play along with the Usage.
But how?
What triggers an USAGE during sales order creation? Is it related to the entered material. In a NORM material, how can a usage be deducted?
Thanks for your feedback on this issue.

It is possible , either one of the item category u can make as proposed and another one as manual. So while creating sale order u need to change it manually

Automatic item category determination for STO

there are 2 item categories for document type UB.One blank and one U.I want item category U to get populated while creating the Stock transfer order.How is it possible.

Hi,
Item category U has to be deleted form SAP Configuration.
Go to SPRO -> Material Management -.> Purchasing -> Purchase order -> Define document type
Select the document type UB and double click on 'Allowed Item category'. Delete the Blank Item Category from there and save.
Now the system will give Item category U by default for order type UB.

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

What is the use of usage in item category determination?

Hi Gurus,
What is the use of usage in item category determination? pls give examples.
Thanks,
Paul

Hi John,
Assign Item Categories
In this menu option, you can specify which item categories the system proposes during document processing for each sales document type and item category group. At the same time, you can specify additional item categories with which the system default can be overwritten. There is a maximum of three possible alternative item categories.
If, for example, you enter a material with the item category group NORM in a standard order, the SAP System determines the allowed item category via the assignment of item categories to sales document types and item category groups.
The system default and the allowed alternatives are always determined from the sales document type and one or two further criteria. The system default depends on the following criteria:
sales document type
item category group
item category of the higher-level item
item category usage
Note
The SAP System automatically copies the item category determined for a sales document item to the delivery.
Recommendation
Depending on the initial situation you can start the assignment differently:
When you define a new sales document type, you should specify the proposed and the allowed item categories for the materials that are represented by the item category group.
When you define a new item category, you should specify for which sales document types an item category is proposed or which item category is possible for the materials represented by the item category group.
When you define a new item category group, you are to enhance the assignment of item categories to sales document types by this new item category group.
Actions
To define item category determination, proceed, for example, as follows:
1. Choose the sales document type to which you want to assign item categories.
2. Then choose one of the item category groups.
3. Specify all the allowed item categories for the combination of sales document type and item category group.
If you are dealing with a non-material item, you must specify the corresponding item usage.
If it is a subitem, specify the item category of the higher-level item.
If it is an item category that is to be proposed in the sales document, you must indicate the combination of item category, item category group and sales document type as a default value.
4. If necessary, specify between one and a maximum of three item categories, with which the system default can be manually overwritten during document processing.
Thanks & Regards

User-exit on APO side for the deliveries that are coming from R/3

Hi,
When a delivery is created in ECC for a VMI customer, it creates an EI order in APO. We need to record some details of these orders on the APO side. Can you please let me know the user exit/BADI that gets triggered when a delivery comes to APO through CIF which we can use for our requirement?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You can use APOCF006(EXIT_/SAPAPO/SAPLCIF_PU_001) CIF User exit on APO side for CF_OBJECTTYPE = B(Delivery).
I hope this will help you.

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,

Adapter object for Item Category Determination

Hi All,
Could please anyone let me know the adapter object for Synchronizing Item Category determination from R/3 to CRM.
I could get the object for synchronizing the Item category determination from CRM to CDB and it is "CRM_DNL_IT_ASSG'.
Thanks in advance.
Yatin

Hi Prabhu,
Suppose customer specific (Y & Z) Transaction/Sales-Document types and customer specific item categories are created in CRM or ECC. These cannot be downloaded via any(initial, delta n synchronization) of the downloads. We have to do this manually as there is no standard adapter object available for these.
So as the item category determination. It should be done manually.
In ECC Item category determination, we need sales document type (say ZOR) and item category (say ZTAN). These will not be replicated or downloaded to CRM.
So we need to create them manually in CRM and also the item category determination should be done manually.
If any sales-document-type / Transaction-Type or item category is created newly in ECC/CRM in production environment, item category determination should be done manually in ECC and CRM for those newly created ones after creating them in CRM and ECC.
Pls don't forget to reward points if it helps

Trigger Item Category determination in sales order via program

Hi,
We are changing item category through an exit based on a field at item level, which the user would enter manually.
However once the exit changes the item category, if the user reverses his selection or gives another value for which item category should be the orginal one, i need to change the item category back to what was originally determined.
Rather than looking up the config tables of item category determination, we would like to trigger item category determination through the exit itself.
Can someone suggest if this is possible, if so what is the code to be written.
Regards,
KC

You can use the following user exit to change the item category in the include MV45AFZB..
*& Form USEREXIT_SOURCE_DETERMINATION
* This Userexit is used to add additional logic for finding *
 the source of the plant or the item category. *
 This form is called from form VBAP_FUELLEN *
