Change Merchandise Category for Article

Hi
Can you please tell me the procedure for changing the Merchandise Category for an article and also let me know the implications for the same. Purchase and Sales for the article have been done.
Thanks in advance
Poonam

Hi Poonam,
This process shows how to can change the assignment of articles to merchandise categories and merchandise category levels in merchandise category hierarchies. This process is called as Reclassification.
To do this, you have to carry out Process Flow as below;
(1) Define the planned date for the reclassification version and assign a change identification.
(2) Select the objects to be reclassified:
Article
Merchandise category
Merchandise category hierarchy level
(3) If an article is to be moved to a merchandise category which has a characteristics profile assigned to it, decide if the article should be assigned to the merchandise category directly or to the characteristics profile.
The system checks the characteristics of source and target objects: reassignment is only possible if the characteristics and characteristic values of the source also exist in the target.
(4) The system checks the level at which stock is managed in the affected sites: if in at least one site the stock is managed at a higher level than the article level, reclassification is only possible if the value-only article remains the same or if no stock exists anyway.
(5) Process the error log and change the reclassification version, as necessary.
Save the reclassification version. This is a simulation version, meaning that it does not take effect until it is actually activated. You can change this version right up until its activation date.
(6) By activating ("updating") the reclassification version, you confirm that the relevant objects are to be moved on a specified date and - if articles are being moved - that the merchandise categories are to be changed in open purchase orders and allocation table items (optional). New listing conditions can be created and old ones deleted, as required.
(7) If necessary, you update the Information System (manual function).
Bye,
Muralidhara

Urgent - How to change Item category for Open Purchase Order

Hi Team,
Lil bit tricky issue.
My client has asked us to change the existing Item Category values, Combinations, Category Set etc. Its been changed and uploaded successfully.
The question here is how we need to handle the category for Open Purchase Order. How to update the same.
Do we need to do manually or any other way ?
Please advice
Regarads,
John

Hi John,
This is reallly a tricky issue!
I guess you cannot change the category of an existing PO's.
This field will be greyed out once we save the form...there were no profiles/other setups to enable this field.
For all new PO's since you have changed the new category value that should not be a issue.
Lets wait for some of our colleuges opinion.
I guess PO cancel should be the final option if we dont hear any new work arounds.
Thanks

Fixed it myself

How do I assign (or change) the category for a book?

I can't find a way in Mavericks iBooks (or on my iPad for that matter) to assign categories to books.
It used to be simple to do so on my Mac in old pre-iBooks iTunes.
I look to keep my collections subdivided intio categories (e.g I have history subdividied into European History, American History, Intellectual History, etc.
All help will be appreciated.

There is a way! Robert Setiadi described it in detail on his site at http://www.robertsetiadi.net/getting-our-books-back-itunes-mavericks/
I've followed his technique in iTunes 11.4 under Mavericks as well as in iTunes 12 under Yosemite. It lets us edit our eBooks and PDFs as before in iTunes under Mountain Lion. Give it a try.

How can I change the category for my podcast?

I just had my podcast approved, but the category is not correct.
I checked Powerpress and I selected Health-->self help, but in itunes it's listed under the general Health category.
Also when I submitted to iTunes, it said my secondary category was sexuality which was not correct.
How can I fix my categories and make sure they are in the right places?
Again I check Powerpress and I have the cateogries I want, but it's not showing up in iTunes.
http://getbusylivingblog.com/feed/podcast/
That is my feed if it will help.

Sometimes the Store will show the wrong category during the submissions process. Wait until it's actually in the Store and see whether it comes out correct there - the feed itself is correct.

Classification for Merchandise Category

Hi all,
I am an MM consultant but new to Retail. I am trying to set up classification for Merchandise category. I have created a characteristic profile and i assigned some characteristics in this profile (e.g ingredients, size, etc). Then i went to WG22 and assigned the characteristic profile to the merchandise category.
My issue now, is from where do i enter the values that i want for each merchandise category (i.e the ingredients, size, etc). As i have read, directly in each article you cannot. In CL20N you cannot as the class is of type 026 (internal).
Where do i do this?
best regards!

HI, let me describe what i did and which are my issues
1. I have created the characteristics and assigned the possible values
2. Then i though about two options:
     a) to create a characteristic profile and assign the characteristics to it
     b) assign the characteristics in the Hierarchy directly
3. I did both and my issues are:
     a) in the 1st option how i assign values to an article? i want each article of the merchandise category to be assigned to various values.
     b) in the 2nd option, i assigned the characteristis to the hierarchy (and thus to the merchandise category) and through MM42 i assgined the values to the articles. In that case my issue is during the search of an article based on the characteristics. There i select as a class the hierarchy and then i have to select the specific merchandise category in order to find articles, otherwise no results appear. Isn't it possible to find all articles of an hierarchy with specific characteristic value?
Best REgards

Merchandise Category: Value-Only Article Categories

Hello,
Could someone explain to me what is meant by Merchandise Category: Value-Only Article Categories with a real time example ?

Yo, do me a favor - can you explain your question more in detail.
Do you ask in general what a Merch Cat is and/or what you can do with it - sense or nonsense within Trade.
Markus
Anyway: Maybe this section out of the Retail Standard documentation help:
http://help.sap.com/ERP2005_EHP_03/helpdata/EN/12/084a37470311d1894a0000e8323352/content.htm
If you need different information - let me know - otherwise be so kind and mark this question as answered.
Also: If you are looking for answers about how to use - or how sell at POS articles on value only article categories - you will find that within the documentation when you open up the library structure (red arrows) - Here you find the difference between Merch Cat articles sales and Merch Cat Hierarchy articles. Usual Merch Cat article sales is Donuts at a Grocer. It does not matter if plain, chocolate or whatever! At POS they press one button to record the sales of Donuts. Usually the remaining donuts will be counted at the end of business day to evaluate further production.
You of course can use all possible varieties within SAP: keep record at article level of a merch cat, record at merch cat level (donuts, even so there are differences) and merch cat hierarchy level (if it makes sense for you).
Hasta la vista
Markus

Differences between Article Hierarchy and Merchandise Category

Hai Gurus,
Can somebody distinguish the differences between the Article Hierarchy and Merchandise Categotry? Which one is better to use? Both seems to have a similiar functionality but why SAP had proposed Article hierarchy and Merchandise category seperately?

Hi Voyeurhuman,
if you have not typed correctly, then you might be interested to know the difference between Articel hierarchy & Merchandise hierarchy.
pls go thru following:
Article Hierarchy
.grouping of articles with sales oriented approach
.customer oriented structure
.Consumer decision Tree
.maximum eight levels
.planning hierarchy used for sales plannng in MAP
.multiple no. of Article hierarchies at a time with schedule article hierarchy i.e. with time dependent functionality
.can be define for distrubution chain dependent
.can be transported to BI
.data can be imported as wellas exported using interfaces
.sub structure of one can be copied from one to another
.Major characteristics-->responsibility, reference assignment, price point group assignmnet, merchandise distributio(fashion/basic), role,strategy/
.multiple assignment of articles is not possible within same category
.it can be assigned to department store and shops with pre-requisite of multiple assignment checked
Merchandise Hierarchy
.its a purchase oriented approach
.it classify and structure all aspects of the merchandise
.purchaser decision tree
.An unlimited number of hierarchy levels is possible
.terms are used in merchandise category hierarchies
     -Merchandise category hierarchy levels
     -Merchandise category hierarchies
     -Characteristics profiles
.All the elements in the merchandise category hierarchy are defined as classes(class 026)
Both Article & Merchandise Hierarchies are very much different. Both are meant for differnt purposes.
thanks,

Change of risk category for a customer

Hi all,
i made a change to the risk category of the existing customer, but my sales order created earlier, in change mode for qty or value reacts in different on the credit management perspective, it does not react specific to the old risk category nor it does not react specific to the new risk category. Please let me know on the possible cause.
also please let me know on where can i find the risk category for a sales order.
Thanks & Regards
ilango

Hello Ilango,
Senthils has made a valid point.
As the Credit Management data is changed after the Sales Order is created the system will not automatically update the Risk Category in Sales Order.
As suggested run T-Code - F.28 & select recreate FI & SD Data.
This will ensure that the change of Risk Category is reflected in your open Sales Order.
Hope this helps...
Thanks,
Jignesh Mehta
