Changing of Item category in bom after being set at once

how can i changethe item category of item in bom while it has been ones used

Dear Sanjay,
As said by Mr.Nandhakumar,you cant change the line item category once its
assigned.you will be allowed to do change quantity,delete an item and other stuffs.
But still,you can delete that line tem and reassign it with a new item category
type.

Change item category of BOM component

Hi,
Our user wanted to change the item category for BOM components through transaction IB12 using LSMW.Wanted to confirm whether it is possible to change item categoryof BOM component from "N" to "L" through LSMW.What exactly will be effected because of this change?And the steps to change the item category from "N" to "L" for the list of BOM component using LSMW.
Request your valuable thoughts.
Thank you in advance,
Regards,
Rubina Rahman

Hi Rubina,
N is non stock item
L is stock item
You have to make sure why the business warants to chnage the item category.
To answer the question:
It is possible to chnage the item category from "N" to "L" through LSMW (Provided depends on the number of components used in a BOM. If the number of items exceeds to multiple screen, then you have to think of developing BDC)
The effect will be: with item category "N" if the material is used in the order, based on the configuration the system shall automatically trigger the purchase requisition. With item category "L" it is assumed as stock is available and taken care by MRP program.
Suppose if it is material BOM:
          A. Use T.code: CS02 in LSMW recording
          B. Provide information like Material number, Plant, BOM usage
          C. In the item level change the item category from N to L
          D. Save the recording
          E. I hope you know the remaining LSMW process steps

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.

Is it possible to change Item Category of BOM component

Hi,
We are in the process of implementing Guided Structure Synchronization (GSS). GSS helps in Syncing Source BOM (Engineering BOM) to Target BOM(Manufacturing BOM).
During the creation of EBOM, designer may not have complete information about the Item category, So by default it is set as "L"(Stock Item). When MBOM is created, It should have correct Item category. Using GSS, while synching operation from EBOM to MBOM, Item category is also copied and it is not allowed to change.
Is there any way to change the Item category before Sync operation in GSS.
Thanks in advance.

OmPrakash

Hi Omprakash ,
BADI used is /PLMB/GSS_FIELDCONTROL .
    Conflict is created based on Postion type. SAP recognizes this conflict and gives conflict in Reconsliation workbench.
    When user solves this conflict , BADI /PLMB/GSS_ACTION for our customer defined Action.
     In this Implementation , Target Vertex would be deleted and New Vertex is created.
    Key Mappings has to be adjusted with new Vertex.
   I have seen some side effects of this Solution. I am trying to solve them.
Thanking you,

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

Dependencies on "Ku0094 item category on BOM

Hi
I need a configurable material where BOM components have to be chosen from characteristic values, so I thought I could use 200 class on BOM to make it easier, but I need to control component quantity and component measure unit too.
I had tried to change those data from BOM adding a procedure on the K item category on BOM, but I hadnt had success, I dont know if its not possible to put that kind of dependencies on K items .
Is that possible?, I havent any problem if item category is L (using selection conditions instead 200 class type and K item categories), system works properly.
Thanks!
Carlos.

Go to SE11 type your table LIPS, enter and then press Ctl + Shift + F10, it will take you to selection screen,
in that you can type the desired item cat in the field PSTYV.
here is your report of Del doc no according to item cat.

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..
Thanks,

Deriving/ change the item category from handling unit

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 .
         But schedule line category is not getting redetermined automatically what i mean is, if i change the item category to YNAG from YNAE in user exit corresponding schedule line category CB of YNAG is getting determined automatically at the schedule line level and if ichange the schedule line categories in XVBEP in exit USEREXIT_PRICING_PREPARE_TKOMP, changes are reflecting at the schedule line level but Purchase requisation is not getting created for schedule on SAVE and its delivary dates are also not getting determined properly. If press the option ATP check at the schedule line level than very things will getting corrected in the order.

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.

Wrong Availability check for Header Item in Sales BOM after BOP

Hi Guys
I am stuck with a very weird problem. Request your advice:
I have a Sales BOM with one item Lets header is 'A' and Item 'B'. On creation of Sales Order ATP check is performed and both the line items (with A and B) the committed qty and committed date.
Now when BOP runs, it deletes the allocation of A and changes it to '0'
Details:
'A' is a non stockable product
Req:
1. I am not sure whether I should include A in BOP selection, however even running it only with B it deletes the allocation of A and the committed qty changes to '0'
Can you please suggest the solution or standard way of running BOP for Sales BOM
Thanks in advance
-Rahul

Thanks for writing in Prasun
Yes I created a new Filter type however when you add a STO category and then you change the fields to include item category you will get the same error. I am also in V 5.0 of SCM
Normally we use SAP_NetChange filter type. So is it possible to restrict using item category for this filter some how!
On the otherhand I also wonder these should not ATP relevant as the header item is non stockable item! And I guess there should some catch to exclude if not item category as you mentioned!
So the order categories included are:
Customer Inquiry
Customer quotation
Sales Order
SD Scheduling Agreement
SD Scheduling agreement w/external
Contract
Delivery w/io charge
Independent requriement
Release from customer in plant
STO
Deplyometn release
TLB release for purc ord
Fields
Product
location
distribution centrer
MRP area
product Hierarchy
Location hierarchy
supplier location
These are std filter type and I cant be modified.. however we restrict our filter to location only!
Kindly advice!
Thanks in advance
