Hi SujanB,
As your question is already answered. An indicator that defines the characteristics of a document item.
For example, the item category controls the type and scope of:
Pricing
Billing
Delivery
Inventory posting
Transfer of requirements
Providing further deatils ;--
01. How item category is determined :--
Depending on the item category group that you apply & the sales doc type you are processing the system automatically proposes an item category in the document.
1.sales document type (source: order type)
2.item category group (source: material master)
3.item category of the higher-level item (source: user defined)
4.item category usage (The usage is defined by SAP and is hard coded in the programs)
SPRO- IMG- SD- Sales- Sales Document- Sales Document Item- Assign Item Category (VOV4)
Pls refer following link for furter details ;--
general item category group
item category usage in item category determination

Message no. V1321 - Item category ALES is not defined for this item

Hi,
I am trying to use ALES - Item Category for creation of the Sales Order. But i am getting this eerror message as Item category ALES is not defined for this item. Please let me know the config changes that i need to do to use this Item Category.
Thanks in Advance !!

To maintain the item category for a sales order type first you have to assign the item category in SPRO.
SPRO>Sales & Distribution>Sales>Sales Documents>Sales Document Item>Assign item categories.
In the screen Change view Item category assignement:overview screen
select your sales document type + ItemcategorygroupUsageHigherLevel Item category
Then you have to maintain Default item category and Manual item category.
Default item category will be proposed by the system when you enter a material in sales order. You can change the item category to any one of the manual item category maintained above.
For e.g.: You are creating a thrid party sales order. Default item category is TAN, if manual item category is maintained as TAS for this combination of sales document type + ItemcategorygroupUsageHigherLevel Item category and then system will allow you to change item category to TAS. If this is not maintained then system will give you an error as"Item category TAS is not defined for this item".
Again depending the item category further acitivites will be carried in SAP, like in third party item (TAS) PR screen will be displayed.

Item category RENN is not defined for this item

Hey SD experts,
I've created a sales order with free of charge and standard items.
Now, I'm trying to create a return order with reference to this sales order.
I got this error message: Item category RENN is not defined for this item.
I've checked in VOV4 : the combination Sales document type + Itemcategory group =>Itemcategory seems to be correct.
Why am I getting this error message then ?
Regards,
Bahia.

Dear Bahia,
Check item level copy control settings between Sales order free of charge and Return sales order i.e copy control settings between free of charge order item category and returns order itemcategory.
Once again check item category determination through VOV4 transaction for the combination of
Your returns order document type+Itemcategory group-->RENN.
I hope this will help you,
Regards,
Murali.

Item category IRIN is not defined for this material

Hi,
When creating Sales Order, I assign a service material with Material Type DIEN , System gives me error as
"Item category IRIN is not defined for this item."
I want to know where and how is the link between Item Category and Material is maintained
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Nitin

hi
i am not a expert , based on my knowledge system will determine the item category for line item , based on vov4 , here you will give the
sales document typeitem category groupusage+higher level item= default item category
or + leis + sein + enter over item= irin
this is for determination ,
in the material master you will check the item category group , sale view tab 1, 2, and also basic data.
based on this will take , line item , item category . so sales view and basic data view item category group are same , other wise system sows this is error message ,
please check this

EDM: item category D is not defined (check entry)

Dear all,
I'm setting up eDM and I keep getting the error "item category D is not defined (check entry)" during the creation of a document. This error is occurring with every document type, in every directory, every physical document, etc...
The strange thing is, that if I try to create a document in SAP using CV01N (and I fill out the same data), it creates the document without any error.
I tried to search for more information on this error, but there is none available. Has anyone encountered the same problem or does anyone knows how to resolve this error?
Kind regards,
Samuel

Have you tried creating hierarchies in DMS? When you create a document in EasyDMS it creates a document hierarchy so you must replicate this to see if there error is occuring in SAP.
Have you tested to see if its an authorisation issue? I.e. test the same with SAP ALL/SAP NEW?

'Item category SUBC is not defined for this item'

Hi,
When i tried to create an SO with item category SUBC, the system pop-up this error msg: 'Item cateogry SUBC is not defined for this item'
Please let me know what should i do? Thank you.
I've maintained the item category assignment with same item category group maintained in material master data..But it still not work...

Dear Laa,
This is due to not done the itemcategory definition and determination.So
First you define the itemcategory SUBC through VOV7 transaction (By copying standard TAN)
Then do the itemcategory determination through VOV4 transaction for this combination
Sales document type+Itemcategory group--->Itemcategory
Itemcategory group is different from itemcategory.
Itemcategory group maintained in the Material master data
The item categroy will get determine in the sales order based on Sales document type+Itemcategory group
I hope this will help you,

Murali.

Sale order item category

Dear all,
We create Bom for production.For sale order creation,in item category whether use TAC or TAN.What sholu be the right one.what is the difference between them.we create finished material is configurable or finished product.
Regards,
Guna.

Hi Guna
Item category depends on the Material type. It is a default material master screen group data. Generally it is defined in Sales view screen group data in material master.
This item category refelcts the sales document type and pricing procedure etc.,
For FERT the item category NORM. For Configurable material it is TAC

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.

Sales order item category per sales organization

Hi
Sorry for the question, I am FI/CO expert, and since our SD expert left us, I am also the SD expert now.
Can I define different item categories for the same sales order type for different sales orgs?
VOV4 (IMG-sales and distrebution-sales-sales documents-sales document item-assign item categories) has no sales organization parameter.
Thanks
Ofer

> Ofer
Yes, you can define different item categories (in t.code VOV7) and assign to same sales order types. The item category is determined by based on Sales document type + Item category group (from material master) + Item category usage + High level item category (check t.code VOV4).
The item categories are not assigned to sales organization, but the sales document types are assigned to sales area. Check t.code VOV8, where the sales documents are defined and in t.code OVAZ, the sales documents are assigned to sales area (sales area = sales org + distribution channel + division).
YOu can see the steps of configuration at SPRO -> Sales and distribtution ->Sales document header (related to sales document type) and then at -> Sales document item.

May be fault items where there is no pricing or so.
Check all items and reprice them before save. if they are ok then go to MV45AFZZ and check save document prepare and save document user exits for the message. Also check form and print program.
Last but not least, get the message number and class for the message then go where used list for that message.
Mostly, this message is populated in user exits.

Abhi

Hi Abhi,
I face similar issue as faced by you.
I went to additional data and changed the description and added the description in which I wanted it to be added but does not help. Am I missing the right place where to make the change?
I am pretty sure that it is a language issue.
I created a sales order, added a product, it worked fine.
Now, I copied this product to a new product, changed description and added it in same sales order it does not work.

ITem category error while creating sales order through

Hi,
I am trying to create a sales order through Bapi and in between im getting the below error.
' Item category TAM is not defined for non material items'.
Can anybody pls provide the solution for this.
Thanks

speak to your SD functional person. The Error is pretty self explanatory; SAP is telling you that the item category for that order item is not permitted by your SD configuration.
