Changing inventory item ID

Is it possible to change the ID of an item in the system?  And/or is it possible to remove an existing item (that has transactions associated with it)?  The scenario is that my client has an item that was marked as a Sales and Purchasing item, but now they want to stock it and they can not add the Inventory designation once the item has been used in transactions.

Hi Kathy
You cannot change the Inventory Item Tick once there are transactions. The reason is that non ticked items do not track quantities in the warehouse. The best as mentioned by Gordon is to create another code. You can however change the purchase and sales ticks, except if you are using the item in any BOM's.
Kind regards

  • Item master - change inventory item also as a purchase item

    hi all,
    How to change inventory item for which BOM is created already also as a purchase item ?

    You will need to delete the Components of the BOM / delete the BOM itself.  Change the Item type and re-define the BOM.

  • Changing Non-Inv to Inventory Item....in OPM

    Hi
    With One our US client, there is one item, which is set up as Non-inventory item in Item Master and saved. Later, infact there are no transaction done on this.
    Now we want to change this item as INVENTORY item ( see the Navigation )
    OPM Inv/set up/Item master, here query that item
    When I change this Non-Inventory field from "Yes" to "No" and while saving this form, it is throwing an error " APP-GMI-83154: Item number not found"
    My question is
    a) Can I change this Item from Non-Inventory o Inventory (Assume even transaction taken place also )
    Note:It is allowing me to save the form, only If, I change the Warehouse Item other than the existing. If I save like this, then the item is one and the warehouse item is another....will it affect the costing of the warehouse item, Since initially this item defined as Non Inventory item and now we have changed this to Inventory Item with different warehouse item.
    Any help will be gr8ly appriciated.
    Thanks

    Hi Raj
    You can only change an Item from Non-Inventory to Inventory when no transactions taken place.
    Just try this
    1. Change the Non-Inventory Flag to NO .
    2. Change the Whse Item to some other Whse Item. Save.
    3. Now Change the Non-Inventory Flag to YES. Save.
    4. Then again change the Non-Inventory Flag to NO.
    5. Now you can change the Whse Item to its initial Whse Item. Save it.

  • How can we change the item cost at time of Inventory Transfer, thru SDK?

    Hi All,
    How can we change the item cost at time of Inventory Transfer, thru SDK?
    My client wants some items to be transferred from A warehouse to B warehouse. When they transfer , they have to pay some octroi charges. This octroi charges they want to include in item cost at time of Inventory Transfer.
    How do we give this additional cost effect in item cost at the time of Inventory transfer? Please help .
    regrds,
    Binita

    Binita,
    This question was posted earlier and was replied.  If you want to do this through SDK please post the question to the SDK Forum.
    Which ever route you take (SDK or manual within the system), you still have to follow the process steps involved.
    Step 1: Transfer the goods
    Step 2: Revaluate the Goods on WH B to reflect Octroi

  • Purchasing - A/P Transaction Processing for Services and Non Inventory Item

    On of the main areas of concern that businesses have is in the area of Purchasing, Goods Receipts and AP Invoices Processing - There is a requirement that businesses have widely referred to as 3-way matching.
    While SAP Business One has this functionality covered quiet well via the following, there is still some need for enhancements so that the application can correctly reflect the AP Accruals:
    - Purchase Order processing with Approval Process (if configured)
    - Ability to perform Goods Receipts for Services.
    - Matching of AP Invoices to Goods Receipts with AP Invoice Approval Process (if configured)
    The above transactions serve the 3-way matching quiet well for all purchases however when it comes to accuring for Services that have been provided, the application does not do this. The Goods Receipt transaction processing to acknowledge the service delivery is allowed however the related posting to the allocation account is missing.
    The process that is followed by the application is same for Items that have not Inventory Items in Item Master.
    As a result of the above, the business have to manually work out what the Accurals for services provided but not invoiced should be.
    With little enhancement to the product this shortfall could very easily be overcome.

    Hi,
    Once there are transactions, we cannot make existing Inventory type item to Non Inventory type item.
    Check SAP note:937297 which states as follows :
    Symptom
    Changing the status of the Inventory Item checkbox (in Item Master Data) for items with inventory transactions and documents, might lead to inaccuracies in the calculations of inventory value.
    Other terms
    Inventory Item, Non-inventory Item, Item Master Data, Continuous Stock, Perpetual Inventory, Inventory Valuation, 2004, 2005, 2005 A SP01
    Reason and Prerequisites
    Consulting Note
    Solution
    The status of an item (Inventory Item/Non-Inventory item as selected in the Inventory Item checkbox in the Item Master Data window), cannot be changed once an A/P, A/R, or Inventory document is posted for the item.

  • No entries for Inventory Item under Elimination of IP/L in Transferred Inv

    Within 6.0v, I have had the system generate data target & infoprovider for Documents, Inventory data, & Supplier data.
    I now want to activate the Elimination of Interunit Profit/Loss in Transferred Inventory, but there are no items to select in drop down and system does not allow me to enter inventory unit on Data Model tab for Data Basis.  I have changed the InfoObject Catalog for Chars on the Field Catalog tab to 0SEM_BCS_CHA01 since this has both inventory item and product group as I had read many threads that said both are needed.
    Any ideas as to what step I might be missing would be appreciated.

    Ok:
    ConsArea, Settings tab, tick there the 'Elim. of IU P/L in Inventory' flag. After regeneration of the ConsArea you'll see additional menu in the WB for customizing IPI.
    About not ticking extra flags in data basis see the info here:

    Hello Sandy,
    If you have already transaction created for this item you will not be able to change The Purchase unit field.

  • Formatted Search - Calculate GP Base Price for Non Inventory Items

    Hi Experts,
    On one of our customer's 8.8 PL 15 installation, requirement was to calculate GP for Non Inventory Items (on SO screen). Since SAP does not automatically calculates it we proposed and implemented following solution.
    1. Have all Non Inventory Items to be costed at Standard cost so that you can manually enter the cost in the Item Master.
    2. Write following formatted search on GP Base Price field so as to calculate the GP Base Price for the Non Inventory Items only. The formatted search must not make any changes to Inventory Items as we want system to calculate the GP automatically (just in case cost changes from SO to Delivery or Invoice).
    DECLARE @II AS nVarchar(1)
    DECLARE @COST AS Numeric(19,2)
    SET @II = (SELECT OITM.InvntItem FROM OITM WHERE OITM.ItemCode = $[RDR1.ItemCode])
    SET @COST = (SELECT     (OITW.AVGPrice * $[RDR1.NumPerMsr]) FROM     OITW WHERE     OITW.ItemCode = $[RDR1.ItemCode] AND
         OITW.WhsCode = $[RDR1.WhsCode])
    IF (@II = 'N')
    BEGIN
    SELECT @COST
    END
    3. Formatted search achieves what was originally required however if a user overwrites the Item Code (Inventory Item) in the SO then above formatted search clears the GP Base Price field and sets the GP basis for the item as "Manual". By obverwrite means user first selected item A0001 on line 1 and then entered A0002 on same line i.e. Line 1.
    My question here is what is wrong in the formatted search that is resulting in this behaviour.
    Any questions please let me know.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards
    Devinder

    Hi Gordon,
    Thanks for taking out time to help me however Key requirement here is
    Write formatted search on GP Base Price field so as to calculate the GP Base Price for the Non Inventory Items only.
    Your query sets the base price for GP Base Price for Inventory Item to ZERO and Base Price By to Manual.
    Note that my Formatted search has a problem only when an Inventory Item line is overwritten. I am not sure if this is a problem with SAP itself rather than my query.
    Any other ideas please?
    Regards

  • Download created as an inventory item

    Hello SAP,
    An download item was created as an Inventory item as well as a Sales item.  There has been two transactions posted to that item... the 1st a Sales Order & the other a Goods Receipt.
    I would like to remove the Inventory item box from the Item's master record & preserve the item's code, but it appears that these transactions need to be reversed first.
    Is there a way to get the item to where it is able to be modified back to just a Sales item?
    Thanks!

    Unfortunately, if you have any transactions posted to the item, you will not be able to change those initial settings.
    Reversing the transaction will not have any effects either since you could end up with more transactions only.
    Only if you could restore the database to the time before those transaction and recreated all other transactions will be the clean solution.
    Thanks,
    Gordon

  • Change of Item Categoy in Sales Order - AFS

    Hi Gurus,
    I am working on AFS. In the sales order for which delivery has not been created, system is not allowing to change the item category. From TAN to TAQ.
    I have maintained the Manual item category in VOV4. Still the item category field in sales order is in grey mode.
    Please let me now how to make it editable.
    Regards,
    Naren Dev

    Hi Naren,
    Can you please check if that item has any associated Purchase Requisitions?
    Standars SAP does allow change of item category if alternative item categories are configured and subsequent document are not yet created.
    Thank you

  • 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..

    with the help of  T180-TRTYP field you know if that doc has been changed or created.
    If it is not equal to H it is changed. H means created.
    pass the TCODE of Sched Agreement and check this field.
    You can use the CDHDR and CDPOS table s to get the changed values of new item.

  • Cannot delete login item "You cannot change this item because it's managed by your system administrator"

    We migrated a server (ldap and file serving) to some new machines, which have new names.  We've got all of the login and file sharing functionality working on the new machines, but wherever we have a mount of a share in the Login Items for a user, we can't get the old machine out of the Login Items.  It's not fatal, but it does make login take a lot longer because it has to fail first.
    We can mount the share from the new server, and save THAT in a NEW Login Item just fine -- it's just that when you click on the old defunct one the minus sign is greyed out, and the mouseover says "You cannot change this item because it's managed by your system administrator."  There is a yellow triangle next to the item in the list.  Went into the user's ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginitems.plist and it's not in the file.  The /Library/Preferences don't have anything that looks like a plist of the right name.
    Where do I find it and how do I get rid of it?

    In response to ManishBhatt94's post today, I may have some information that may be useful to you. I called Microsoft's 800-642-7676 and spoke with a technical representative with questions pertaining to my particular issue. I also have friend that has the
    same issue with her computer running windows 8. A representative from my ISP told me how to go into 1)Tools, 2)Internet Options, 3)Connections, 4)LAN settings and uncheck the proxy settings box. However after restarting or shutting down my computer it reappears.
    It will also reappears while I play games on Facebook not allowing me continue until I go back into the proxy settings in LAN and uncheck the box AGAIN and AGAIN. A local owner of a computer repair shop told my friend that it was a virus. After speaking with
    Microsoft today I was told the same thing/it was more than likely a virus on my personal PC at home. As most people likely do,  I use wireless internet in my home on the affected computer. Solution; as suggested by Microsoft rep was to have the virus
    professionally removed either by someone or to use their remote service for a fee of $149 which comes with several guarantees and does not require you to re-install software or documents. I hope that my response was of some help to you. I also kept trying
    to fix this problem but wasted a lot of time. He also suggested to Google the proxy problem to see if ANYONE has any alternatives to fixing this problem!
     

  • Deriving/ change the item category from handling unit

    Hi SAP GURUS,

    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 .
