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

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.

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.

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".

"Material type HALB cannot be used with item category L (plant 1000)"

Hi Guys
I am trying to copy the BOM of a material.
The error msg.
"matrial type HALB cannot be used with item category L (plant 1000)"
Diagnosis: you want to enter a new componet with material type HALB and item category L.
Settings in IMG for production (master data> BOM > Item data > define item category) determine that inventory management for this item category is to be based on quantity.
However, other settings in the IMG for material HALB in plant 1000 determine that the quantities are not updated in the material master. This means that you cannot enter this material with item category L.
Can anyone tell me how to correct this error please.
Thanks.
Ahmad Yahya

Hi Ahmad,
Follow this navigation path in SPRO
IMG: Logistics > Material Master > Basic Settings > Material Type > Define Attributes (OMS2)
Select a material type ( like in your case HALB) and navigate to Quantity/Value Updates. Now try to locate your plant to which you want to assign your BOM to. And then set the flags Qunatity Updating and Value Updating and save.
Now, you can come out of CS01(BOM creation) transaction and re-enter CS01. Now you can maintain the data and error will not come.

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?

Delete purchase requisition with item category Subcontracting

Hi all,
I need to delete a purchase requisition with item category = L (subcontracting).
I am using already BAPI_REQUISITION_DELETE to delete other purchase requisitions but for the subcontracting it doest not work. In fact in the BAPI code you can see:
Requisitions with dependent reservations won't be processed
IF xeban-pstyp EQ 3 AND xeban-rsnum NE space.
So I am looking for other BAPI but I don't find any to delete this kind of requisitions. Do you know any way to do that or I have to do a batch input?
Thx,
Manel

Hi Manel,
I am using BAPI_PO_CHANGE to set EBAN_EBAKZ, however in most of the cases error thrown as "Instance PO Number of object type could not be changed".
Could you please help on this?
Thanks,

Hello,
Could anyone of you please help in config of creating preq with item category "U" through MRP run.

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.

yes, that is the problem, while creating PO system is troughing the error. thats why user is asking why PR is picking a contract which is expired!
creating PR manually. and user is having a bunch to perform such job so he can't check each PR for correct contract. and even it is not logical for system front to copy an expired contract.
2ndly one more questin, incase thr are 2 valid conact avaliable in system then while creating PR which contract system must pick

You do MIRO against FO the same way you do IR against Normal PO. FO is also a different document type and is considered a PO,
just there is no GR taking place for FO document.

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

Service Code Mandatory with Item Category D

Dear All,
With Item Category D either we need to provide service code or Limits but we require service code to be mandatory with Item category D.
Please guide how can we maintain.
Regards,
Vikas

Hi dear,
In SPRO-select the document type for whcih you want to set the condition.
See what field selection key you have maintained for that document type. Path for it is
SPRO-MATERIALS MANAGEMENT->PURCHASING->PURCHAS ORDER->DEFINED DOCUMENT TYPE.
Now in SPRO go to
SPRO-MATERIALS MANAGEMENT->PURCHASING->PURCHAS ORDER->DEFINED SCREEN LAYOUT AT DOCUMENT LEVEL.
Now double click on the Field Selection Key which you have found in the above step.
Double click on basic data,item and make required entry for External services Field as madatory by checking the box.
This will work.
Alternatively you can take gelp of your ABAP er ask him to put condition as per following logic.
Service code to made mandatory if Purchasing organisation is SERV and Item category is D.
