Automatic delievry with item category TAB

Hi gurus,
we have a requirement where we are using the Item category TAB for creation of purchase requistion.BUt we want the automatic delivery also be created in the background for this item category.
No settings have been changed for the std TAB item category.Order type OR has the A for immediate delivery.
Still when we create a sales order a order is created but no delivery is created.
Please suggest
AJ

Hi,
There might be several reasons why it might not be creating a delivery document. The best way to find out is to go to VL01N and put in the sales order number, shipping point and the delivery date and press enter. It will give you an error why it is not able to create the sales order.
Correct the error and try by creating another sales order and save it. System should create a delivery automatically.
Some of the most likely reasons that might be preventing the delivery from being created are
a. Is your document complete
b. Does it have a shipping point or a storage location (not mandatory) in the sales order
c. Is the material created in the respective warehouse
d. Is the right schedule line category been determined
Hope this helps
PS: Technically it is possible is SAP. However, this is not recommended Logically and Functionally.
Thanks

Preq with Item category U

Hello,
Could anyone of you please help in config of creating preq with item category "U" through MRP run.
I also want to assign Plant as source of supply automatically once the Purchase requisition is created.
Thanks
Karan

Hi ,
1) goto OMD9
2)give ur plant no. and specila procurement key 45
3)under specila procurement tab -> in plant field u specify your supplying plant no --> in stk transfer field specify 1
4)now set a vendor no. for the supplying plant ---
a)to do so craete a vendor through XK01 , account group 0007 , give the plant no for which MRP is carried out
b) In purchasing view -- goto extras -- add purchasing data --in plant field give the supplying plant no.
5)In the material master record -> MRP 2 view maintain the special procurement key 45
6) now do the mrp run
7) But if quota arrangement is used then it gives the priority to that quota arrangement . So either you remove the quota arrangement or specify maximum limt.

Sales Order - Using Item Category 'TAB' - Individual Purchase Order

All,
I am configuring for the first time utilizing Sales Document Item category "TAB" - Individual Purchase Order. I have a few questions:
Is there a best practice configuration guide specific for this process? I have found the 'third party' document/best practice, but nothing so far on "individual purchase order from sales order'.
Is there a way to default Purchase Order Type "UB" stock transfer from the Purchase Requisition NB? I thought this could be done based on the schedule line "CB" configuration, changing the 'item category' to 7 stock transfer, then this would carry into the mapping for purchase requisition type NB/item category stock transfer to purchase order type UB/item category stock transfer. However, when I set '7' on the schedule line CB, I then receive a hard error when creating my purchase req to set the supplying plant. I have more than one supplying plant, so I'm not sure if setting the '7' is the right setting for this process. From what I've been able to find for documentation, the item category of the schedule line should be set to '0' standard.
When I perform the post Goods Issue 601 of Special Stock "E" - to the customer (once the stock has been received into the right plant), the system is not creating an Accounting/FI Document to relieve the inventory and charge cost of goods sold. I have reviewed automatic account assignment entries and these appear correct for 601 E. Are there special settings for special stock "E" that I need to consider.
If you cannot answer all of these questions, but can answer one of them, I am most interested in teh last question above.
Regards,
Sandra Miner

Hi Reazuddin,
What I don't understand is why:
if I don't create PO --> I can create Outobund Delivery in Individual Purchase Order but if I create PO (not MIGO) I cannot create OBD in IPO. (Note: in both cases I agree PGI is not possible)
The flowchart is: Sale Order (IPO) --> Purchase Requisition --> Purchase Order (PO) --> MIGO (inbound delivery) --> MIRO (Vendor invoice verification) --> Outbound delivery ( delivery [OBD] + picking + posting[PGI]) --> Sales Invoice
As per your comments:
System will not stop you to create delivery, though you customize delivery item cat: as Check min qtty "0" - error message. because system checks for PGI qtty, but not the delivery qtty.
But then in the case I create Sale order (IPO) + PO (without MIGO) --> the system should not stop me executing Outbound Delivery. It should stop me only if I execute Posting goods issue. But actually in this case, the system is stopping me at outbound delivery.
I agree with Posting Goods Issue behaviour. It is logical in the following cases:
Only Sale order (IPO) created --> PGI is not possible
Sale Order (IPO) created + PO created --> PGI is not possible
Sale Order (IPO) created + PO created + MIGO executed (inbound) --> PGI is possible.
Thank you very much for your feedback.

Intercompany transfer for material with item category Erla

Hi,
I have a typical requirement.
I am creating a value pack(finish good) with item category mainatined as ERLA(while mat master creation) which consistes of 2 items.
I have maintained a BOM for this value pack(finished material).
Since ERLA is maintained,I can explode BOM in Sales Order creation(correct me if I am wrong)
This is okay for sales cycle.
I have following requirement
I want to do a Intecompany stock transfer of this value pack(i.e. finish good) with doc type NB.
The problem in this is that it gives error while creating outbound delivery stating some entries missing in table (do not exactly remember)for NLCC/DOGN.. something like that.
If anyone has done this type of scenario earlier then request you to send me the configuration settings required to be done in terms of Item category/Delievry combination etc etc .
This is quite urgent for me.
If there is any different way to map this Intecompany Stock Transfer of Material (with Item category maintained as ERLA) then please let me know.
Thanks in advance.

manOO

Hi
You maintain "Item category group" NORM in the Sales org 2 tab, this is used for sales organisation and distribution channel for Outboumd delivery.
The "General Item category group" does not refer to the Sales organisation and distribution channel, this is used for Inbound delivery.
In can create the material master in MM01, specify the "Material type" and "Industry sector" .
For, Item category determination in VOV4, you need to assign like this as below,
Sales doc type + Item category group + usage + Item category of higher level item = Item category.
Item category determination for free item,
OR + NORM + FREE + TAN = TANN.
As beacuse you are giving the normal material as free, therefore you must give the indication to the system to use it as free material by specifying the usage as "FREE".

Change Partners for item category - TAB

Hi All,
Why it is not possible to have different ship-to-party at item level for TAB orders.
For item category TAB, the partner functions is maintained as "T" which is "No item Partner". Can you help me understand why SAP has maintained like this.
Please provide me a quick response.

HI,
TAB item category is used for Make to Order senario, thats why its do not have Multiple Ship to party or Partner determination for Item category..
2nd Make to Order is a Order contaning Customer Specific requirements like ur preparing a proto type for customer requirement (Like new development).So they break down the sales order into diff -diff parts U know (we call it BOM) & we get the delivery date s & quanties for that Make to order from Production Order because here Sub items are related to main item like...
Computer ordered with entena....
In make to order system brekdown the req.into...
1Monitor
2 CPU
3. entena
4.TV card etc...But all these belongs to 1 single material (even though they are also a individual material)
thats why we dont have a provision of partner function for item category TAB....
I hope i am able to explain u.......Pls. ask me if nathing is not clear to you......
NOTE: You can always have a diff. Ship to Party at Header level.......
Regards

Item Category TAB recognise unrestricted stock

Folks,
we have item category TAB on our back to back sales orders and will create an individual pourchase order.
However, there are occassion when there is stock and we want the ATP check to consider and not necessarily create a purchase req.
is there any way to achieve this?
Or because TAB has Special stock indicator "E" type it is standard SAP and will always not consider stock?
Thanks

Hi Milton,
Normally in such scenario the process followed is different.
When you have stock of the material with you then its no longer a individual requirement. It will be a normal sales process. For that you have to have item category TAN.
so, during sales order creation you have 'tan' and if availablity check runs and finds stock not available, then the user will manually change the item category to 'TAB'. and then the individual requirement will start.
For this the item category TAB should be assigned at the 'manual' column in Item cat determination
This is normal std process.
In standard TAB is used for materials with General item category ' BANC'. for such material, there is not availablity check activated, so it wont look at stock.
IF this does not answer your question, then give more detail about your business scenario.

Subcontracting Order with Item Category L from Sales Order

Hi ,
I am looking for the way to create an Purchase requisition automatically from a sale order with Item Category "L" Subcontracting.
I tried but it is creating a PR with Item category "S" Third Party.
Can any body tell me where I am missing.
Thanks ,
Lekhram

Hi,
From the sales order look at your schedule lines to find which Schedule Line category is being called for your master data and document type of Sales Order.
Go to config for schedule line category and change the item category assigned in its details. This item category is not to be confused with your SD item category. This one is of purchase requisition that gets generated from SO# in the case of Third party.
IMG> Sales and Distribution>Sales>Schedule Lines>Define Schedule Line Categories
It would be 5 - Third Party. Change it to 3 - Subcontracting.
Reward if helpful.

Unlimited Overdelivery with Item Category D

Dear All,
Kindly let me know the significance of Unlimited tab in service PO/Item Category D..
1) As this tab is ticked by default with Item category D - does this mean that we can receive unlimited delivery for service code maintained for the specific line item. We are not maintaining limits.
2) In case we want Unlimited tab to be unticked, how will this effect service PO.
Regards,
Vikas

Unlimited tab enables to make GRN irespective of the quantity mentioned in the respective line item of the PO. However in service entry sheet we are not procuring against the respective line item instead for the service code/value limits mentioned in teh Item Details Tab.
This field MUST always be set to 'unlimited' for purchase orders for external services. The reason for this is that services are always managed with the unit of measure 1 on item level, that is, if this 'unlimited' flag is not set on item level, only ONE service entry sheet can be created. For the second, the above message is then displayed as the quantity 1 is now exceeded

The purchase requisition is automatically created, there's no availability check behind item category "TAB". The stock is managed in the special stock segment (sales stock).
If the case when the stock is available is exception, you could change the item category manually to a normal one (e.g. TAN).

Item Category TAB is not looking for Special Stock.

Hello,
We have an issue while using item category TAB. For sales orders having item category TAB is allowing to create the Delivery note even though there is no stock received (GOODS RECEIPT) and assigned against this sales order stock.
Ideally the system should not allow to create the Delivery note. However it is allowing to create the Delivery note.
Checked the correspoding Schedule line that was determined : CB.
CB in VOV6 the correct settins were made as below.
The checks for
Sched.line cat.        CB    Indiv.Purchase Order
Movement Type         601   GD goods issue:delvy
Order Type                NB    Purchase requisition
Item Category             0     Standard
Acct Assgt Cat.         M     Ind. cust. w/o KD-CO
Incompl.proced.       31    Sched.Line w/PurReq.
Here we have the purchase requistion number on the schedule line tab, and in VBAP could see the it as a special stock item with the indicator E.
Ideally the flow is ONLY when the GOODS RECEIPT has done against this sales order stock, then the system should allow to create the deilvery.
Checked the copy control settings in VTLA and for TAB the Data transfer routine is 101.
Please help to understand why the system allows to create delivery when there is no GR made against this.
Thanks in advance.
Ram.

Hi Navaneeth,
Thanks for your response.
What i need is the SYSTEM SHOULD NOT allow me to create the Delivery. In this case it is allowing me to create the Delivery.
VOV7-TAB-> Special stock indicator is set as 'E'.
Inspite of it is set as E the system is allowing and ONLY at the time of PGI it is looking for special stock and pops up with the error message:
Sales order stock 6941 000010 does not exist
Message no. M7184
I expect the system should not allow to create the delivery at first chance.
Please help if it requires any other settings?
Best Regards,
Ram

BOM with Item Category T

Hi friends,
The issue my user is having is that he has created a subcontracting PO ...and later while issuing thro MB1b 541... the system throws an error... PO HAS NO ITEMS..
But PO has a BOM exploded ...when i check it has item category T instead of an L... By the time i could check CS03, the user has deleted the BOM .,so i suggested to create a new one with item category L...The issue got resolved.
But my doubt is how this item category T has appeared in the BOM, since when i try creating a BOM with T i cannot enter matl code but my BOM which had popped in the PO had all details with matl code, desc , qty and item category as T..
Pls kindly advise and help me understand..
Thanks
nandu

When creating your material BOM with Item category T, do not enter the material number.
Only enter decripiton qty. and uom. This should allow you to create the BOM. You would then see this BOM in your Sub-Contract PO. I don't think it was possible you saw the material item in the BOM from your original T category items, as this would not be allowed per standard functionality, as you noted when trying to recreate the incorrect BOM.

To fill in the material number with item category u201CBu201D for Framework Order.

The use of framework orders (also referred to as blanket purchase orders) enables you to procure a variety of materials or services from a vendor up to a predefined maximum value (the value limit).
Instead of a specific delivery date, you specify a validity period for the order.
Goods receipts or the entry and acceptance of services performed are not necessary in the case of a framework PO and limit items.
The invoices are posted directly with reference to the purchase order, provided that the specified value limit is not exceeded. When the value limit of the PO is reached, or the validity period is exceeded, the system issues a warning message. It is possible to book the invoices, but these are blocked for payment.
During the phase of service performance, the cumulative u201Cactual" values (for the services actually performed) are continually updated in the underlying purchase. This enables you to monitor the progress of a procurement project on an ongoing basis. By comparing the "actual" value with the total value, you can always obtain an overview of the degree to which a budget for unplanned services or materials has been exhausted (i.e. see whether predefined limits have been reached or nearly reached).
So with the Framework Order type (FO) and item category u201CBu201D you get the error that it is not allowed to fill in the material number with item category u201CBu201D.
Please suggest me the possible solution to fill in the material number with item category u201CBu201D for Framework Order.
Best Regards,
Harisha

The Framework order type is specialy defined for lesser value procurements (ex: stationeries, cleaning services ....) which are all not worthy to create Material Master at all.
If you are very sure to fill the Material number, then proceed with some other document type.
In what circumstances you want to put material number in FO order?

Sales Order - Using Item Category "TAB Individual PO" / convert PReq to PO

All,
I am configuring for the first time utilizing Sales Document Item category "TAB" - Individual Purchase Order. I have a few questions:
Is there a best practice/baseline package configuration guide specific for this process? I have found the 'third party' baseline package J54, but nothing so far on "individual purchase order from sales order'.
During Purchase Order Create from the Purchase Req. is there a way to default Purchase Order Type "UB" stock transfer from the Purchase Requisition type NB? Currently in my system, the PO type defaulting is NB and it needs to be UB. I thought this could be done based on the schedule line "CB" configuration (spro/SD/Sales/Sales Docs/Schedule Lines/Define Schedule Lines), changing the 'item category' to 7 stock transfer. Then, for the configuration setting spro/MM/Purchasig/Purchase Req/ Define Document Types, this would carry into the mapping for purchase requisition type NB/item category stock transfer to purchase order type UB/item category stock transfer. However, when I set '7' on the schedule line CB, I then receive a hard error when creating my purchase req to set the supplying plant. I have more than one supplying plant, so I'm not sure if setting the '7' for schedule line CB is the right setting for this process. From what I've been able to find for documentation, the item category of the schedule line should be set to '0' standard. My plan is to convert the PReq's into PO's in background, but I need to default the correct PO Type. Any help would be useful.
