2LI_03_BF Material Stock Type and Stock Category Determination

Hi All,
I need your help in determining the stock type and stock category of a certain material.
Is there a way to determine it manually? cause i tried to look at the MSEG table and it does not show anything but when i try to run the material document that contains the movement/material it populates the stock type and stock catertory in the setup tables.
Regards,
Alden

Hello
1) 2LIS_03_BF clearly gives you the receiving plant and the issuing plant. For eg if you are doing plant to plant transfer there will be 2 entries in 2lis_03_bf , one for issue and one for receiving. You can bifurcate the receiving plant and the issuing plant by using either process key (BWVORG ) or debit credt (SHKZG) (H stands for issue & S stands for receipt).
2) 0MAT_PLANT_ATTR provides you the plantwise specila procurement type
3) you will get VBUK-GBSTK in the standard source 2LIS_11_VASTH . You will have to combine the data at the BW level

Difference between Material type and Item category

What is the difference between Material type and Item category?
We can differentiate different kind of materails according to material type then why do we have Item category which is also more or less on the same lines.
Both can be considered as a terminology in SAP to group similar kind of materials.
Please let me know the exact difference between the two?

Dear Christino
We can list out so many differences.
When you create a material master record, the material type you choose determines:
- Whether the material is intended for a specific purpose, for example, as a configurable material or process material
- Whether the material number can be assigned internally or externally
- The number range from which the material number is taken
- Which screens appear and in what sequence
- Which departmental data you may enter
- What procurement type the material has; that is, whether it is manufactured in-house or procured externally, or both
Together with the plant, the material type determines the material's inventory management requirement; that is:
- Whether changes in quantity are updated in the material master record
- Whether changes in value are also updated in the stock accounts in financial accounting
In addition, the accounts affected by a material entering or leaving the warehouse depend on the material type.
-Most importantly, Users can be authorized to create materials of specific material types but not based on item category
- Item category will define whether the material should be valuated for stock or it should be considered as non-stock
- Pricing is carried out based on Item Category and not based on Material type

Status Stock M and Stock Category S

I have problems for GR using MB1C and mov 501 because I need to use that with Status Stock M and Stock Category S, Do you know if is possible this kind of combination M and S for GR?

Hi Rose, thanks for your information, let me explain you all the context,
First I need GR for damage materials to the WH but with Special Stock field = M for non valued (without accountant document) and second this material needs the stock category "S" (blocked stock) because this material doesn't need to create a necessity when the MRP runs (due is scrap material).
I hope this information could clarify my question and is enough for you to give me an answer
Thanks in advanced

Link material type and item category.

Hi,
Can you brief me on how following setting in SPRO works?
Plant maintenance - Maintenance and service processing - Maintenance and service order - General data - Define default values for componenet item category
When i checked, this setting is to link item category with the material type and item category is defined based on the material type and maintenance plant. But what is the relation in term of the order type i.e. whenever i create any order with a specifica order type, the default item category should get reflected on the componenets tab of the order?
Is it possible?
Can you guide me how to do this setting.
Thansks

Hi,
Yes it is posible to make all order types item category mark as stcok item "L" as default value. Very well u can set it at following menu path under PM&CS Node
Maintenance and Service Orders
Functions and Settings for Order Types
General Data
Define Default Values for Component Item Categories

Reqirement type and item category

dear friends,
can u please tell me the link between requirement type and item category?
i want to use the special stock for the delivery and as well as purchase requirement in case stock is not there...
i m getting the right combination.
plzz help....

Hi Deepak,
This is strategy for Determining the Requirements Type
. First, an attempt is made to find a requirements type using the strategy group in the material master.
. If the strategy group has not been maintained, the system will determine it using the MRP group.
. If the MRP group has not been defined, the system uses the material type instead of the MRP group when accessing the corresponding control tables.
. If no requirements type is found here, the system assumes a special rule and attempts to find a requirements type with the aid of the item category and the MRP type.
. If this is not possible, a last attempt is made to find a requirements type with the item category only.
. If the last attempt fails, the system declares the transaction as not relevant for the availability check or transfer of requirements.

Order type and Item category group

Can anyone tell me which is the relation between order type and Item category group from material master ??
In fact the problem is that I have created a material and when I want to create new sales order it gives me this errror:
"No item category available (Table T184 ZORDER ZITGR)"
Is there a tranzaction where I can assign Item category group ZITGR to sale order type ZORDER or something like that??
What should i do?

Hi Dan,
Goto T-Code VOV4 and maintain the table
Sales Doc type + Item Category Group + Usage + Higher level Item Category = Item Category
TA + NORM + Nil + Nil = TAN
If you have Customized your own Document Type and Item Category Group and Item Category then give your
Sales Doc type (ZORDER)+ Item Category Group (ZITGR)+ Usage + Higher level Item Category = Item Category (ZTAN)

Document type and item category

Hi All,
I have created two document types in MM for creating Purchasing Requisition. One for material and for service and material. But when i am selecting service and material document type, the item category at item level is automatically converted to D(Service) even though i dont select any thing(material). I have not done any settings for iterm category based on document type. Pls let me know why i am facing this problem.
Thanks,
Raju

Hi Amit,
For both the document types (Material and service, service) the item category standard and service are assinged. I have checked in SPRO--->MM-->Purchasing->Purchase requisition-->Define document type--->Check Allowed item category assingment and Link purchase requisition document type.
Hi Raghavendra
If SAP standard service document type then we cant take material and can take service only for creating PR, but in my case i have created one document type and named it as service and for this document type i have assigned item category of service and standard. In this case it should allow me to create PR with standard item category, but its not allowing me to do so. Pls let me know how can i solve this issue.
Thanks,
Raju

Very imp stock transfer and stock transport order

hi folks,
please explain me in detail the difference between stock transfer and stock transport order.
regards,meena

Hi:
Stock Transfer is the physical movement of material from one location to another location,stock transport order is one way of doing the stok transfer.
Stock can be transfer between plant to plant,company code to company code,storage location to storage location.
However there are different procedures for stock transfers:
1.Stock Transfer using one step procedure: Here Goods issue and Goods receipts happens in single step.
2.Stock Transfer using Two stage procedure:The two-step procedure allows you to monitor the stocks in transit. After the goods issue is posted at the issuing point, the stock appears "in stock transfer" at the receiving point and is managed as such in the system.
3.Stock Transport Order:
This is transfer of material from one plant to other plant or co.code to co.code via SD route.
Here a.receiving plant raise the stock transport order on issuing plant.
       b. Issiuing plant creates the outbounmd delivery against STO and PGI.IF it is in India,then excise
           invoice creation.
       c. Receiving plant post the goods receipt against outbound delivery and post the excise ivoice.
       d. Invoice verification.
The main advantage of Stock Transport order is you have a more control because you can have purchasing document behind itand you can check the PO history which would gives all the details for Delivery as well GR documents.
However ftor STO via SD you need to configure the set up stock transport order in MM>Purchasing>Purchase Order-->Set Up Stock Transoport order.
Also on a data maintanace side you need to maintain the custmor and vendor relations.
Hope this would helps you.
Cheers

Stock tracking and stock posting

Hello,
In the Stock Management/stock transactions/Initial quantities, stock tracking and stock posting,
Suppose the following context:
Item stock: 1000
Counted: 900 (posted in stock tracking)
When reconciling in stock posting is raising this error:
"Item price has not been entered"
though we choosed Allow Inbound Posting without Price.
This is only happening when the counted quantity is smaller than the item stock, that is, in the example given everything is OK for counted quantities >= 1000.
SAPB1 Version 2007PL30
We have try in 2005PL45, and it worked. So, we suppose this could be a bug. The strange thing is that it worked in a previous version!
Do you know something about this behaviour?
Thank you for your help,
Regards,
Vanessa

Hi,
Please refer to notes:

Disable the Item Availability Button based on Order type and Item category

Hi ,
My requirement is to disable the Item availability check button in VA01 based on the Order Type & Item category. Is there any user Exits/ Badi / FM available for this.
Thanks in advance.
Srinivas.

Hi,
Although it is an old post I need to answer for people who search an answer to the same type of question. To hide a field
you can use transaction variant 'tcode:SHD0'. But it is not based on Order type and Item category. May be you can use
USEREXIT_FIELD_MODIFICATION form in user-exit MV45AFZZ. You can loop at screen and set screen-active = 0 in fields
where you want them to be inactive.

Material document problem and stock not appearing

Hi All,
I am doing goods receipt for production order through MB31.. after completion of goods receipt system is generating material document.. but when I go to MB03 to see the material document ,system throwing following error and stock is also not visible in MMBE....
can any body help me out why it is happening and how to resolve this...
Thanks
Kumar

I can see it is an SQL error about inserting duplicate record.
this just means that you have already a record with the same key in your data base.
I dont really think it is the material document number, otherwise you would not get the error in transaction MB03, you would get a material document just from an older process instead.
you have to analyze it in more detail. I hope you have an ABAPer or a basis guy or any other collegue that could help you to navigate through SM13 to find the right information. Or help you reading the dump.
if you can read some ABAP then click the icon for ABAP Editor (F5) and it will take into the program to the statement where it failed.
From this statement you can probably know which table is to be updated.
if you find the failed update module then you can check via the icon for VB-Data what the values are and you may find already a record in that table with the same values.
Then you have to analyze why it can have the same keys.
