Assignment of Order Category to Order Type

Good morning!
Question regarding Order Category assignment:
I am in the following path location in SPRO:
Plant Maintenance and Customer Service->Maintenance and Service Processing->Maintenance and Service Orders->Functions and Settings for Order Types->Define Change Docs, Collective Purc. Req. Indicator, Operation No. Interval
Looking at this configuration, I noticed that our Order Category values are not consistent. (you can view Order Category by clicking on the 'print' button once configuration screen is open - view name is V_T399X_S).
Possible entries for Order Category are the following:
01     Internal Order (Controlling)
02     Accrual Calculation Order (Controlling)
03     Model Order (Controlling)
04     CO Production Order
05     Product Cost Collector
06     QM Order
10     PP Production Order
20     Network
30     Maintenance order
40     Process Order
50     Inspection Lot
60     Personnel Order
70     Shipping deadlines
I would assume that all of my PM order type should have category assignment of 30. However, some of my PM order types hold no assignment. Can someone explain the following two points:
1. Where in SPRO is Order Category assigned to Order Type
2. What is the purpose of Order Category.
Thank you very much in advance!

Hi Narasimhan,
The view I am looking at is one behind the config which is located in this step:
Plant Maintenance and Customer Service->Maintenance and Service Processing->Maintenance and Service Orders->Functions and Settings for Order Types->Define Change Docs, Collective Purc. Req. Indicator, Operation No. Interval
View is: V_T399X_S (Increment for Automatic Operation Number)
My point of confusion pertains to the fact that category field is null for order type belonging to three of our plants. From the data integrity perspective, I don't see how this would be possible, given that this assignment is performed by SAP automatically. My only theory would be that it happened during SAP upgrade, or that there is a problem with how the view is written.
Thank you!
Alex

  • Order type automatically assign to product wise for order

    Hi all,
              I gave 4 types of Orders for one plant as per products.   The client ask me  assign that orders   automatically for each product in routing  how i will assign  please let me know.

    Actually routing has no relation to order type.
    You can use Production Scheduling Profile as well as Production Scheduler/Supervisor.
    Firstly, you need to create 4 Production Scheduling Profile and assign 4 Order Type to Prd Sch. Profile.
    Then you need to assign the Profile to material in Work Scheduling view.
    Another way is that you can create Production Scheduler/Supervisor and assign the Pro Sch Profile to the Prd Scheduler, then assign Prod Scheduler to Material Master in Work Scheduling view also.
    From now on, whenever a production order is created for material, order type will be get from the Scheduling Profile.
    To maintain the Prd Sch Profile and Prd Scheduler in IMG: Production > Shop Floor COntrol > Master Data

    hi gurus,
    good morning to everybody,
    i have a question i have 1000 materials in my organization using by 5 company codes in that few material i need to assign profit center so i went to mm change and assigned the profit center for sales:general/plant and plant data/stor.2, if i want to assign profit center to order type how can i assign, if i cannot assign in order type i need to assign profit center in mm change for 500 materials, so if i change manually in mm change for 500 materials is it going to effect for the other company code when they post the transactions please give me your opinions.
    thanks in advance and points will be assign for useful answers.
    kumar.

    Dear Kumar
    You cannot assign the Profit Center to Sale Order type.  Whatever you maintain in Material Master, that will flow automatically in sale order as and when you create. 
    If you want to change the profit center in material master in bulk, you can do so via MASS.  In fact for sale order also, you can achieve this via MASS but no partial delivery should have been made against that sale order.  In case, you have already made partial delivery, then the field would become grey and you cannot change the same.
    thanks

    Dear Kumar
    Go to VA02, input the sale order reference and execute.  There double click on the line item and select the tab "Account Assignment".   There you can see the field "Profit Center". 
    As I said in your other thread, if you have generated subsequent documents like delivery or billing, you cannot change this for that line item.  You have to close this line item by assigning "Reason for Rejection",  and create a new line item but then, b4 doing this, you should have changed the profit center in material master.
    Alternatively, if you want to update in bulk, go to T.Code MASS, input "BUS2032"  in Object Type and execute.  There select "Sales Order Item Data" and click on "Fields". 
    Select the field name "MASSVBAP-PRCTR" and execute.  Either you can input the sale order references for which you would like to change or just execute.
    Now you will have a screen "New Values" on top and below the existing sale orders listed.  Give the new profit center against the field "New Values" and execute.
    thanks

    2.1 Define Order types (KOT2_OPA)
    IMG &#61664;Controlling &#61664; Internal Orders &#61664;Order Master Data &#61664; Define Order Types
    An Internal order is created under an Order type. An order type is used for storing various control parameters and various defaults while creating an internal order. It is used for classifying various types of internal orders according to usage for e.g. Real orders for trade fairs, real orders for Capital investment measure, Statistical orders for motor vehicle expenses.
    The order type is client-specific, which means that every order type can be used in all controlling areas. A number range is assigned to the internal order type.
    Click on “New Entries”
    Take a drop in the field Order category and select 01
    Enter
    Update the following
    Give Order Type :- Z810
    Description :- Traders First Real order type
    Object Class :- OCOST overhead
    Reference Order :- Collective order without automatic goods movement
    Residence time 1 :- 12 months
    Residence time 2 :- 1 month
    Check “Commit Management and Check Integrated Planning

    IMG &#61664;Controlling &#61664; Internal Orders &#61664; Order Master Data &#61664;Maintain Number Ranges for Orders
    Number Range needs to be assigned to the internal order type. Number range can be internal or external. In Internal numbering system automatically assigns a number from the given number range. In external numbering the user has to manually assign the number from the given number range.
    We will configure internal number range for our internal order type – Trade Fair
    Click on Group &#61664;Maintain (From the menu bar)
    Click on Group &#61664; Insert (From the menu bar)
    Update the following

    IMG &#61664;Controlling &#61664;Internal Orders &#61664;Order Master Data &#61664;Screen Layout
    &#61664;Define Model Orders
    Model orders are not orders in the commercial sense, but serve merely as references for creating "normal" orders. Model orders contain default values for the orders in an order type. The Model order is assigned as the reference order in the order type.
    When you create a new order, all the fields active in the relevant order type are copied from the model order to the new order.
    Example
    You want to settle all your marketing orders to the same sales cost center. Stipulate the cost center as the default value in the model order for marketing orders.
    When you create a new marketing order, the system defaults this cost center. If you want to settle the order to a different cost center, you can overwrite the default cost center in the orders.
    We will create a model order with some defaults and assign it to the Trade fair internal order type
    Click “Create CO Model Order”
    Press F4 and select ($$) 03 model order
    Click on the master data and update the following
    Order: - $$$ Z81000001
    Description text: - A Limited Trade affair
    Click Save
    Assign this model order to the order type Z810
    Update the reference order with the model order number $$$Z81000001 in the reference order field

  • Creation of Group for Order type

    Dear All,
    I have created the stage wise order
    types ,now I am trying to create a group for each order
    type, while doing this I maintained  text &
    no.range for the same,
    but system is not creating new group,
    it replaced the existing group.(OPJH )
    please guide me to solve this difficulty
    Thanks in advance
    Rgds,
    Vijay Mankar

    Hi Vijay,
    1. To create a new group "F6" now type the description and the number interval. Now hit enter. New group is created
    2. You need to select the new Number Range Group by selecting the check box on the left side of the group.
    3. Place your cursor on the Order type decsription and use "F2" to select the line.
    4. Now you need to hit the "Element/Group" icon or F5 in key board to assign the order type to the number range group.
    Save the changes now. Number ranges are generally not transported, so you need to do this directly in the client where it is needed.
    Hope this steps will help you in understanding how this has to be done. Reward your points,
    Regards,
    Prasobh

  • Is it possible to create Order type with different number ranges-Plant wise

    Hi Experts
    Client wants to get the different number ranges for the order types created in the different plants. Is there any user exit for the same.
    I have assigned the order type to the different plants. And Order type is assigned to a no range. So whenever a order type is created in different plants; order types uses the same number ranges.
    so with this situation one cann't know the total no. of order created within a plant.
    Is there any solution for the same.
    Pease give your valuable solutions.
    Regards
    Pankaj

    Hi
    Best way is to create different order types for different plants.
    like we have order types OR15 ,OR20 & OR30 for different plants 1500 ,2000 & 3000 .
    you can assign different number range for different order type.
    this is simplest solution.

  • Process order type conflict

    Hi,
    I am trying to create a process order from a planned order. I have generated the planned order through MRP run. The process order that is generating taking process order type which is not desired. I want to know from where it takes the process order type while creating process order from a planned order. i have given the desired process order type in production scheduling profile i.e. TS03. but it is taking PI01. i want the type as TS03
    the screen shot given below.
    thanks in advance.

    Hi Swastik,
    Check to which planning strategy (MTS or MTO) you assigned the order type in the prod. scheduler profile. Make sure you use the same in the material master MRP 3 view.
    Also check whether you have assigned the prod. scheduler profile in the material master work scheduling view.
