Change material Item Category

Hi, maybe this topic already discuss in this Forums.
Can help me.
I have some question.
When i create Order IW31 ( Module PM ) i put material in component which this material Item Category L ( Stock Item ).
when i click button PURCHASING can not create PR error message " material is not a non stock item" and Message no. CO 382
Thanks for share

Hi,
When you put category "L" it means that it will be issued from stock, so you can't purchase it directly to the PM order. In this case you buy it to stock, and then issue it from stock.
In the case when you want to purchase directly to the order without going via stock (direct procurement), then choose item category "non stock".

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..
Thanks,

Hi SAP GURUS,
In vl01n I want to derive the item category based on the handling unit. Hnadling unit is derived from the payment terms.
Please let me know the required configuration or the development for this.
Thanks

i need ur help regarding the Sales order item category redetermination.
         we are having two item categories YNAE and YNAG and it contain schedule line categories CP and CB ( i.e for item category YNAE schedule line category is CP and
         for item category YNAG schedule line category is CB), for YNAG Purchase Requisition is automatically created becz of functional setting on save and it is working fine.
         For every line item in sales order line item level item category YNAE will be determined by default as per functional settings.
         Now my requirement is that, if sales order line item doesn't contain 100% confirmed quantity, than i needs to change the default line item category YNAE to YNAG
         which i am trying to do it in USEREXIT_PRICING_PREPARE_TKOMP becz in this exit i am getting the values in XVBAP and XVBEP and it is working fine .

If press the option ATP check at the schedule line level than very things will getting corrected in the order.

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

Bom massive change of item category

dear
can you suggest a valid tool for a massive change of item category.
I need to change the item category of many bom component.
The old value is L , the new value is N.
In transaction CS02 is very difficult to change the item category of a component.
Thanks.

Hi,
It is not possible to change the Item Category. You would need to delete the line & re-create back with the new item category.
You may use CEWB as suggested above, or you may go for a Z program.

Change billing item category

Dear Experts,
How to change billing item category in sap? We want to change SD Doc Item Category as M for order related billing document.
Regards
BK GAIKWAD

Hi,
So, you want to change from Delivery related billing to Order related billing.
In that case you doNOT directly ONLY change the billing item category. Follow the below -
1. Take your item category say ZTN3, in VOV7 change "Billing Relevance" to B (Relevant for Order related billing.....)
2. In your Sales Doc type (say Z1OR), in VOV8, field "Order - Related Biling" give = Billing Type (say Z1F2)
3. In "Assign item category" for Sales Doc type, Item cat gr. give ZTN3
4. In copy control, VTFA, for Z1OR | Z1F2, copy item category TAD and rename it as ZTN3 (if Z1OR | Z1F2 is NOT yet created then create that copying OR | F2)
5. Test - Create sales order in VA01
6. Create bill in VF01, give your sales order number and create bill

Change in item category and settlement of old sales order not possible

Hi
I have to settle sales orders in VA88 and transfer data to COPA. I want to do directly without result analysis. So, in the item category, I removed the result analysis key. And the settlement goes thru.
My issue is that there are orders in July 2010 which have to be settled, but it does not work since the changes in item category has happened this month in Aug 2010 and the July sales order are also invoiced.
Pl suggest a solution to settle the July sales order to COPA.
Thanks
kamala

Hi Kamala
I see only one possibility... The old sales order consists of some GL accounts posted in it which is not mapped in the allocation structure...
Alloc Str has 2 parts - i.e. One, it consists of a group of cost elements it has to handle and Two, it consists of the valid settlement receivers like PSG, CTR, etc
You say, this alloc str works well with new sales orders.... The 2nd part of alloc structure (i.e. valid receivers) applies equally to all sales orders.. But what can really differentiate the 2 sales orders is the cost elements posted on it...
I dont foresee any other posslbe reason

SO Delivery date change when item category is modified

Hi expert,
When i change the item category on my SO, the delivery date change.
Can you please give me the configuration, or exit to check how the delivery date is calculated?
Regards.

- Set a breakpoint at function module SD_SCHEDULING
- Change your item category
- This should trigger your breakpoint (if SD_SCHEDULING is changing the delivery date)
- Post screenshot of call stack back here.
Looking at the call stack will give us an idea of why a new scheduling is triggered.
If SD_SCHEDULING is not called, then I assume it must be a user exit causing the issue - check your coding in the SD user exits of include MV45AFZZ.

Change in Item Category KFF after Prod Migration

Hi
Our company had to move from a 2 segment Item Category KFF to 3 segment Item Category KFF.
We know this is not recommended practice, but there was real business need for this.
Now we have written programs to change all existing transactions to have new categories.
One thing we are not able to figure out is, when we goto Setup-Items- Category Codes and query Categories, it gives an error "value for the flexfield segment does not exist in the value set". This is coming from the old Item Categories which have been end-dated.
How can we get rid of this error?

But this is not an OAF Question!?
Anyways i got my solution:
The values on this window are queried from MTL_CATEGORIES_KFV (KFF View) which in turn gets the KFF combinations from MTL_CATEGORIES_B. So deleting the values from MTL_CATEGORIES_B gets rid of this error.

Change Sales Order Item Category for a configurable material with config

Hi
My problem is related to Variant configuration. We have a requirement that depending on the ordered quantity and required replenishment lead time the business scenario for a configurable will get changed. that means some characteristics value selection will trigger the business scenario to be followed, whether it will be Make to Order, Buy to Order or 3rd Party drop-ship order. and the business process to be followed will be triggerd by the Item category to be selected in the sales order line item.
so , the requirement is to change the item category of the sales order line item with the carecteristiocs value selection in the variant configuration screen. As we know, when ever the material is getting entered in to the sales order line item, depending on the Item category group in the material master data the item category in the sales order line item used to get determined. after that when we are selecting the characteristics value set in the variant configurator, systen shoud chage the already determined item category of the sales order.
Hope I have clearly furnished my problem and requirement. Can anyone show me the way to fulfil my requirement. Any further clarification requirement to understand and resolve the issue is cordialy appriciable.
Regards'
Som

Thanks Krishna
But as u mentioned the way to make the non editable field into editable one. But that will applicable in case of manual chage. But can it be applicable for changing the Item category by using Object dependency??
Actually in our scenario, for some of the item category that field in the sales order line item remains editable. we have tested with that also. Once the item category is getting determined, object dependenct is not able to modify the item category in the sales order line item.
I have explores something, if I include PSTYV field in VCSD_UPDATE, will it work? VCSD_UPDATE is the table that contains field of sales order can be modified with the usage of object dependency.
Please let me know ASAP.

Som

In PM order, can we change the material description for item category N?

Hi,
In Plant Maintenance work order, is there a way to change the material description while purchasing material (item category N) using a material master number? In config. the material description field is open for input. However on the work order components screen it becomes grey as soon as one enters a material master number.
Background: We want to maintain generic material master records in the system and use them for purchasing materials (item category N) on work orders so that the purchasing data defaults from the material master. But we need to be able to change the description per the specific requirement.
Similar functionality works on sales orders. Are we missing anything?

Hi there,
One solution would be to have some generic materials created and used them during work order processing. These generic materials needs to be extended to all the required plants.
Hope this works,
Cheers !!!

Unable to change item category in Create SA with ref to contract

We have a centralised subcontracting contract (item category "L") in place for a material. The requirement is to create a scheduling agreement with reference to this contract line item item category "Blank" (Standard).
But the item category field is greyed out (display only) when we try to create scheduling agreement with refernce to contract on the "Adopt + Details" screen. And we are not able to change the item category "L" to "Blank". Is there a way we can make this item category field editable on this screen before we hit "Adopt + Details".
I have tried most of the field selection configuration, but there is no specific field selection group for this screen.
Please note that the system allows you to change the item category when you create a PO with reference to this contract.

Thanks Manu for your suggestion!
But this is the process that we need to map. Request others to respond if they have comes across such a requirement and able to address it.
Again I want to make a note here that if it is possible on POs, there should be a way to make it work for SAs.
