Customization of Item Category
Hi gurus
While I was doing Blanket purchase order, when I select item category as ' B', PO quantity and order of unit are getting selected. I don't want them to get selected. Can someone tell me how to customize the item category? Where can I find the notes for customization?
Thank & Regards

Satya,
There is no customization of the item category. Saying that, I would like to tell you the reason why it is so. the main reason for this one is that the valuation is done by price basis not quantity basis for blanket items.
hence there is not specific GR for these items and we receive invoices for the quanitity requested and they value of the invoice is compared against the value of the Framework PO during invoice posting. If it is within the limits it passes otherwise it fails.
The unit is Price Unit and Quantity is always 1 for such cases as designed by SAP.
For that 1 quantity , we are having our services or bulk item gr's multiple times and not posting a specific GR for each of them and inturn valuating that services or goods with the incoming invoice.

Third party customization: item category TAS
Dear experts,
I am customizing third party process. I copied item category TAS and schedule line category CT. Ideally this item category is relevant for order related billing. I changed it to delivery related billing so that I can combine this item with other items(TAN,TAK) into one invoice during billing. At PGI for item with item category TAS, a new document called confirmation of service appears in the document flow. Where does this document come from? When I click on it, a message appears that no document exists, why is that so? How do I set the number range for this document and where do I locate it since it is not in the sales document types in SPRO?
Thank you in advance and looking forward to your answersDear Benjamin
Why you take CT instead of CS here--can you please brief us.
Normally this second letter "T" used for No-Inventory management.
(In third party Inventories cannot be--made you to think like)
But Please compare AT/BT/CT Vs CS--you will get the underlying problem of field which are compulsary in Third party processing..(like order type,Account assignment category)
Hope this helps.

PR with combination of item category B = limit, and account assignment : F
Hi,
Is it possible to create a blanket purchase order/framework requisition with combination item category B = limit, and account assignment : F ?
Thanks in advance.
Sachin
Edited by: Sachin on Sep 20, 2011 12:05 PMHi A.Purihella / Raj,
Thanks for your reply
I have maintained the B and F combination in the customization.
But when I am creating the PR using item category B with account assignment F (order) and after pressing enter, this account assignment F vanished from the PR and that field also turns in to gray mode. So system is not allowing to use u2018Fu2019 with B item category.
Have you used or tested this scenario of using combination item category B with account assignment F (order) in PR and PO.

Error in CRM WEB UI : Item category could not be determined.
Hi,
I am trying to create Service Confirmation. I got an error sayin for line item 20: Item category could not be determined. Conversion Factors are invalid.
Can you please tell me, when such type of error comes?
Do we need to check any configuration for this?
Thanks,
SandeepHi Sandeep,
Such type of errors generally comes when the customizations are not maintained properly in the system. Every One Order transaction has a Transaction Type and one or more Item Categories associated to it. And in the Item Category determination you need to associate all the Item Categories and the Transaction Type.
In this case, it looks like the Item Category is not properly configured. And also the Item Category Determination is not happening properly.
The best way to trouble shoot this kind of error is to get in touch with the Functional Consultant who has configured the Transaction. Alternatively, you cal also have a look at the standard transactions which are delivered by SAP to have a feel of all the places where there might be potential errors.
You can check this in the IMG Customization. Refer to this link for a complete detail: [Business Transaction|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm70/helpdata/en/92/8269126d1547578aab640f097de32c/frameset.htm]
Hope this helps.

IvyProcess Flow for 3rd Party Sales
Customize the third party sales in summary:
1. Create Vendor XK01
2. Create Material Material Type as "Trading Goods". Item category group as "BANS".
3. Assign Item Category TAS to Order type that you are going to use.
4. A sale order is created and when saved a PR is generated at the background
5. With reference to SO a PO is created (ME21N). The company raises PO to the vendor.
6. Vendor delivers the goods and raises bill to company. MM receives the invoice MIRO
7. Goods receipt MIGO
8. Goods issue
9. The item cat TAS or Schedule line cat CS is not relevant for delivery which is evident from the config and, therefore, there is no delivery process attached in the whole process of Third party sales.

Item Category determination based on Order Reason
Hi experts,
There is a requirement where for a particular sale order type ( ZSC in this case ), there are 6 types of order reasons available.
And depending upon the order reason chosen, the corresponding item category needs to be determined automatically. It is a 1:1 relationship. That is for each order reason, there is an item category. This is not defined anywhere yet.
Is there any way of configuring this through customization or programatically in any user-exit available?
The user is ok with creating a customization table for mapping the order reason to item category. In this case, which exit should I write the code to automatically assign the item category according to the order reason chosen by checking this table.
Please help.
Thanks.Since the Order Reason (AUGRU) is at header level (VBAK) and Item Category (PSTYV) at item level and the requirement is to check both these fields, you can try with any of the following exits:-
=> User exits in the program MV45AFZZ - USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_VBAP
=> User exits in the program MV45AFZZ - USEREXIT_READ_DOCUMENT
Also I am not clear on this
That is for each order reason, there is an item category. This is not defined anywhere yet
Do you mean to say that you have not made assignment in VOV4 ?? If so, what assignment is made.
In fact, in the exit, the coding should be in such a way that system should ignore this table T184, and check for the combination you mentioned for which you need to have a zee table with the combination of
a) Sale Order Type
b) Order Reason
c) Default Item Category and
d) Manual Item Category
thanks

Item Category Determination for a service order
Hello experts;
I have the following funny issue, When i try to create a service order my item category doesn't get determined properly: specifically when i fill in the product in the SAP GUI the item category field doesn't get populated automatically...funny thing is that i do the exact same thing in the Web UI the very same field Does get populated correctly!
The following are the customizations i have on SPRO: The all thing is copied from the standard but in the GUI the standard doesn't work either! and it does in the WEB UI. Any lights????
Trans Type:ZSVO
Desc:DSGi Service Order
Item CtgGroup:NORM Sales Item (Norm) Item Category:ZRVS
Desc:DSGi Product
Alternative Category: SRVS Desc:ProductI don't get it...
It's as simple as that: the item i'm adding in the service order has Ctg Group DIEN and it was correctly downloaded from R3. The Item Category Determination is as follow:
Trans Type: ZRVO
Desc: DSG T Service Order
Itm Ctg Group: DIEN Service w/ Delivery Item Category: ZTVS Service Sales Item
Where ZTVS is the copy of the item category SRVS (Standard) which for some reason if i put instead of the ZTVS doesn't work either!
What am i doing wrong? -

Delivery Output determiantion using Delivery type & Item category
Dear all,
I am facing a problem while triggering output using Delivery type/Item Category access in access sequence xyz. I have maintained the condition record for this access and did all the necessary customization settings.
When i maintain the condition record for other access in Access sequence xyz the out put is being triggered.
After some analysis i found that the Delivery type/Item category is using different communication structures.
ie. Delivery type is using KOMKBV2-LFART. where as Item Category is using KOMPBV2-PSTYV. The output is a header output.
can any one explain the problem here in maintaining different comm structures for an access for generating header output.
Thanks in advance for your inputs.
Best Regards
SatishHi,
You mean to say its not triggering the output automatically.....
If that is the case then goto the condition type in IMG and in tab "default values" make the dispatch time as "send immediately when saving the application" this will automatically triggers the output based on the condition records.....

How to populate item category tree with UNSPSC codes?
I have created an application engine to read a UNSPSC code csv file and execute a component interface to load the item categories. I am having a problem updating the tree we use in ePro. Do I need to set up something before I run this? It looks like you can't add nodes if the category doesn't exist and you can't add categories to the tree if the node doesn't exist. We do not have Catalog Management installed.
Edited by: jbelanger on Aug 4, 2010 8:23 AMDear Friend,
I am new to the iProcurement functionality of mapping UNSPSC code to Item Category Flex field Segments.
Please help me how this functionality works.
Does Oracle provide any standard way to map the codes to flex field.
Do we need a customization.
Any useful documentation will be really helpful.
Thanks in advance

Item category and Account assignment category field grayed out in PR/PO
Hello all,
While making a PR/PO we use both the item category and account assignment category. However, after saving the PR/PO, when i try to change the fields through ME22N/ME52N, the fields are greyed out. I dont think this can be controlled through the layout screen.
Is there anyway the fields can be made modifiable in ME22N/ME52N ?
Please help!
regards,
Soumyadeep.Hi,
Well, actually you can control the Field settings in customization of Document Type. Check the following :
Go to SPRO>MM>Purchasing>Purchase Order>Define screen layout at document level
Click on the desired Document Type and see if the Field selection for Item Cat and Acct Assignment is checked for Display for that Document Type. If it is then change it to Optional.
Now, Go to SPRO>MM>Purchasing>Purchase Order>Define Document Type and see if the Field Selection Key is assigned to the (Updated just now) document Screen layout.
Hope this helps,
Best regards

Where is the item category usage data stored?
Where is the item category usage data stored?
I'm checking the CRM system of my customer. My customer uses CRM & ERP system. Both BP data and prodact data are connecting from ERP to CRM. In Item category determination on CRM system, Item category usage exists as a condition. I know where I customize the usage setting. However,I don't know where ithem category usage data is stored. Product master data? or BP master data? Does anyone have this information?
BestRegards
MikiIf you are refering to Item category group, then this is stored o product master data on sales organizational specific data.
If you are refering to Item category usage then there is a different logic. Item category usage is is mainly hardcoded in ABAP programs. For example one logic is hardcoded for interchengabilty scenaro. In some cases you can even use badi implementation.

Oracle Purchasing: Approvals Group: Item Category Range
Hi to All,
I was wondering if anyone has implemented, Item Category Range in the Approvals Group for Purchasing. I have a requirement for a requisitions process that if it has a category code, say X then it will bring up certain people who are attached to this category code. I was trying to see if this could be done thru the approval group in purchasing. I have tested this out where a manager has a dollar amount, account range and item category. But this fails.
I am trying to avoid doing some customization, within the WF. So if anyone has some ideas how to handle this requirement, please let me know or if you have created the item category code.
Thanks in advance for any help.Hi Mahesh,
Thank you so much. I have awarded points.
