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
Deepak

ATP check for item category TAB

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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:

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.

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.

Alberto Ramos.

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

When a PO is created with item category D (service), the delivery completion Indicator is not seen in the PO.

Vaibhav

hello,
Go to
SPRO-->MM->Purchase order->Purchasing -> Purchase order-> Define screen layout at Document level
Select the field selection as PT9F and tick the Delivery Compl Indicator at two places .
The system will now show you the indicator when you create a PO with item cat as D.
this should work.

Credit Check while creation of Sales Order for Item Category Purchase Req

Hi Experts,
We are creating Sales Order using an Order Type ABCD for a material 1000. While creating Sales Order, we use Item categories (ZOVD, ZOVB,ZOST,ZOVP and ZOBO).
Credit Check settings are there at Order Type ABCD as well as all the Item Categories (ZOVD, ZOVB,ZOST,ZOVP and ZOBO). We are trying to test a scenario where a customer does not have enough credit limit while creating a sales order.
When we create a sales order for Item Categories (ZOVD, ZOVB,ZOST,ZOVP), credit check fails because our customer does not have enough credit limit, so that Sales Order gets created and Delivery does not get created (This is what we want), then we go into VKM1 manually and relase the sales order and then if we go to VA02 and check the status of the Sales Order, it says sales order status is complete. My Sales Team is saying here also Purchase Requisition is getting created.
When we create a sales order for Item category ZOBO, it is going into Purchase Requisition screen. Once we give another plant in the create purchase requisition screen and save it we are getting a message that cannot create Purchase Requisiton because of Credit Block.
The settings were same for all the Item categories.
1) What made difference to complete Purchase Requisition for Item Categories (ZOVD, ZOVB,ZOST,ZOVP) and not for Item Category ZOBO when my customer is not having enough credit Limit.
2) Why Purchase Requisition screen is not coming for us when we create an Sales Order for Item Categories (ZOVD, ZOVB,ZOST,ZOVP). We only get Create Purchase Requisiton Screen for Item Category ZOBO.
Thanks

Hi,

A new pricing routine is created in VOFM for Condition value and same is been assigned to Condition type as Alternative calculation type in pricin gprocedure contro data.
Whe I create Sales order, value based on ZBOM is being pciked up by system.
request you to please help in this regard.

Hi Marino,
I have a requirement to determine the pricing based on "Discount Code", which is not a standard SAP field and i would like to have this as a custom field and linked to customer in custom table.
Question: When i add a new custom field and custom table for pricing, what are all the things i need to do in terms of ABAP.
As per my knowledge, below are the steps...Please check and confirm my understanding is correct and let me know if i miss anything.
1. Create a new field
2. Create Custome Table
3. Add field to Field Catlogue KOMG
4. Add Field to KOMP (as this is item field)
5. Add code in userexit USEREXIT_PRICING_PREPARE_TKOMP to make the data avaialable - Sales Order
5. Add code in userexit USEREXIT_PRICING_PREPARE_TKOMP to make the data avaialable - Billing

Ship to party not copied from PR to PO for item category D

Gurus,
Am populating unloading point and ship to party in a PR for both item category standard (" ") and service ("D"). However during PR conversion to PO, both these fields only get copied for item category standard and NOT for item category service. What is the correct set up so that these fields are copied from PR to PO during PR conversion ? Any customizing point i missed ?

Item Category 'TAB' - Individual PO scenario

Hi, can anyone advise how SAP derive the schedule line delivery date for item cat 'TAB'? When i switched the item cat from 'TAB' to 'TAB', system automatically propose a delivery date. However, even if i set the planned delivery time and GR processing of material in master as '0', the delivery date/material availability date for that schedule is still not current date (i set all lead time in SD to be zero as well e.g pick time, load time and transit time). I shd see the delivery as current date since there is not lead time.
Is there some setting i need to do or other master data controlling the delivery date in the SO schedule line for TAB scenario?
Thanks
Peter

Hi,
Please check
Use tcode OVLZ, and double click on your shipping point, delete the loading and pick pack time.
