Change Item Category in Sales Order

Dear Sir,
We require Item Category field to be editable in VA02. Ours is MTO scenario when we enter Material in SO the Item Category fields gets grey out we require the same to be editable. We have also maintianed the MItC in Item category determination in VOV4 still the fields gets greyed out.
Please guide.
Regards,
Mahendra

Hi
Item category will only be in editable mode in VA02 unless and until the delivery is not made or partial delivery has been done
Manual item category is to change manually the automatic determination done by the system and not to input manually when there is no automatic determination
Even make to order item category TAK is in editable mode in VA02 transaction
May be something else in your setup controlling this
Regards

Issue while changing Item Category during Sales Order Creation

Hi,
Requirement:
Requirement is to change the item category of Sales Order item while creating the sales order.
Rule is: If item category is IRAT then it should be changed to IRLN.
For this, I am using the user exit "USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT_PREPARE" available in the include MV45AFZZ.
Issue:
Using the above mentioned exit, Item category is getting changed to the desired value in the created sales order BUT value of Billing Status (VBUP-FKSAA) which is supposed to get changed is blank.
For example, Sales order is created from VA01 and item category is changed manually to the value mentioned above, then for the sales order created we have VBUP-FKSAA = 'A'. But when value of Item category is not changed manually and it is changed from the exit, then value of VBUP-FKSAA is blank.
I have to find a solution which would change the value of Billing Status according to the change in the value of Item Category.
Please suggest a relevant solution.
Thanks a lot for responding.
Abhinav.

hi,
You can the item category field (VBAP-PSTYV) editable , if item is configurable (item category TAC), then change item category to TAS.
by using include MV45AFZZ - FORM USEREXIT_FIELD_MODIFICATION.
when screen 4001 or 4003.
   IF VBAP-PSTYV = 'TAC'.
           SCREEN-INPUT = 0.
          MODIFY SCREEN.
        ENDIF.

Changing item category in sales order

Hi,
For some of the materials in the sales order, the item category is grayed out and I cannot change it.
I can access the drop down menu and see the various item categories assigned to the item category group.
How can I change the item category for these materials in the sales order?
Sincerely,
Ketan

hi.
Ketan
As u r saying that you can take drop down of the assign item catagory there then only one possibility is left that u have deliver some of the qty from the order. So system is not allowing u to change item catagory.
Please check have u made any delivery from that sales order.
if yes then u can not change item catagory.
Hope this will help you.
Thx.

How to control Changing of item category in sales order Manually

Hello Gurus,
How to restrict manual changing of item category in sales order?
Reason for it:
When ever they want to give some free goods to customer , they are changing Item category in Standard Sales order at item level then deliverying free goods to customer
looking for your inputs
Thanks in advance
Regards
Venkat

Hello,
There are two possible ways:
1. In Item Caterogy Determination remove the Manual Item Categories so that system will determine the Item Category only from defined options.
2. Use T-SHDO - create Screen Variant & make the item Category Feild as Display only.
Hope this helps..

Change item category in delivery order

Hi everyone
Issue: Can not change item category in delivery order.
Phenomenon:
1:Create purchase order and receive item based on it. complete invoice verification.
2:Use MIGO to create return delivery based on material document that is created during above process.
3:Based on system settings, (Sales org, ship-to party etc), outbound delivery is automatically created in background.
4:Try to change item category which is already determined during delivery order creation, but it is grayed out.
Can we change item category in this situation?
I have checked thread "Number of attempts to change Item Category
This looks same issue but I still do not know how to control item category in delivery order.
In material type, is there any place I can configure to allow user to change item category
in delivery order?
Please advise.

Function module of querying item category in sales order generating

Hi everyone,
would you please help to tell me which function module can fetch the item category in sales order generation?
any help will be appreciate.
Thanks.
Eric

Hi Eric,
When we create a sales order with VA01 and enter in a material the system gets the item category from the following function module:
Main Program     SAPFV45P
Source code of   FV45PF0V_VBAP-PSTYV_PRUEFEN
CALL FUNCTION 'RV_VBAP_PSTYV_DETERMINE'
    EXPORTING
      T184_AUART   = TVAK-AUART
      T184_MTPOS   = MAAPV-MTPOS
      T184_UEPST   = HVBAP-PSTYV
      T184_VWPOS   = T184_VWPOS
      VBAP_PSTYV_I = VBAP-PSTYV
    IMPORTING
      VBAP_PSTYV   = VBAP-PSTYV.
VBAP-PSTYV will contain your item category.
I hope this helps.
Best regards,
Ian Kehoe

Mass update of Item category in Sale order

    Is they gave a file of inputs means we can go BDC or LSMW..If before transferring we want to make only little changes means we can do this by LSMW otherwise we can go for BDC...

Authorization check based on item category on sales order (VA01 or VA02)

I want to be able to restrict authorization of users based on item category. We only want certain users to be able to select a certain item category. I know I'm going to have to check one of the userexits in MV45AFZZ. The issue I'm having is the authorization object .
The item category is field VBAP-PSTYV.
What we are going is having a item category for emergency orders. But this requires more manual steps to associate with the original order. We already have the emergency item categories defined and working (no credit check etc) so there's no reason not to have them added to the original order. The issue is its use has to be restricted so when the user selects an alternative item category it checks whether they have the authority.
Any help would be appreciated

Hi,
You can achieve this through authorization objects.
Transaction
SU20 - Authorization Fields
SU21 - Authorization Objects
Create the field PSTYV in the Authorization Fields.
Then Create the authorization object and include this field along with the standard field ACTVT (which determines what activities can be performed by a certain user i.e. Create, Change or Display) & user-name
In your your-exit, you can either use the ABAP command AUTHORITY-CHECK or the function-module AUTHORITY_CHECK and pass the values for these fields. The system can perform the test based on this values & based on the sy-subrc value you can restrict the users that are not having the authorization to select item-categories for emergency orders.

Change in Item category in Sales order

Hi,
We have one requirement to change the quantity in the Billing document
our requirement goes like this,
Order was created with 10 Qty and PGI also done with 10qty, But physically customer receives 9 qty and Billing done with 10qty.
Now customers will not accept for the Billing and Business has to change the quantity in the Billing without reversig PGI
As per the legal regulations, we cannot reverse the PGI and change the quantity in Billing
But as per the standard, we cannot change the ITEM category in the sales order once the subsequent document is created.
can you please let me know is there any solution to change the Item category in the sales order using User exit of any other way
regards,
santosh

Since I was handling similar scenarios quite frequently when I was in domain, from my experience, I can share the same.
It is known to customer also that billing cannot be changed once it is generated. Hence, the client can request the customer to either deduct the amount to that extent while releasing the payment against that billing document or the client can give one number extra or credit in the subsequent shipment. Any customer will accept for this.
Meanwhile, I also dont understand why you want to change the item category after billing and what you would like to achieve over this. If the above options is not acceptable to client, then the best approach would be generating a credit note straightaway against that billing document and set right the records.
thanks

Item Category in Sales Order

hi friends,
I created one sales order..here, one item category is determined and it is editable...now i want to know
1) how is the item category determined?
2) if I'm able to change the item category, what effect it will have on the document? is it allowed?
thanks,
Viren.

Pratap,
There are two parts to your answer 1) item category is determined by the
1)sales document type
2) Item Category Group
3) Higer Value Item
4) Item Usage.
The basic function of an item category is,it tells us that what product or item u have in the order for example is it a free product if yes the item category would be called TANN which is the item category for free goods.It mainly gives u a decription of the product that you have in your order. All item categories have names like TANN. TAN which are of German Origin.
The second part is item category is useful since it tells us if
1) The item should be priced
2) If certain text items are relevant for delivery.
3) It will also tell you if the item you plan to bill is the same blocked for billing.
4) It will tell you if the item is of special stock which means is it a consignment stock.
5) It will also tell u if the item is of business items, business items are those items of which business data may vary.
Thanks,
