Customize display of category group names in item regions (902)
Multi-level categorization is inconsistent within different portal contexts. Flat category structures work fine but sub-categories do not.
For example let's define a set of categories: foo, foo/bar, test, test/foo, abc, abc/bar
where bar is a sub-category of foo and so forth.
The additem wizard shows the category in the form: category/sub-category/sub-sub-category/etc which is the preferred approach.
However, an item region having Group By Category and "Display Group By Banner" checked is not the same. Here the group-by-text only shows the end-category name (not the full category/sub-category); i.e., only shows the last group "category" without the context of the full category.
Want to show items in following style:
foo
item1
foo/bar
item2
test/foo
item3
abc/bar
item4
As opposed to:
foo
item1
bar
item2
foo
item3
bar
item4
Likewise, in the Advanced search the list of categories to search for are:
foo
.bar
test
.foo
abc
.bar
What are some best practices to customize the display of custom items with sub-categories showing the full category/sub-category in 9iAS 9.0.2?
Explicitly creating a flat category structure with '/' in the names doesn't seem the best use of item categories.
And it looks like the content area SDK won't be available for a little while.
Hi Jason
The only way to show the path of your nested categories in the display banner is to name the subcatgory with the path information (i.e. 'test/foo' not 'foo'). The problem with showing the full path is scalability - rendering a deeply nested tree in the display banner or as an attribute would cause real problems. It was a design decision to go with the way that it is. If you feel strongly that Development should reconsider this decision, please feel free to log an enhancement request at:

ITEM CATEGORY GROUP VS GENERAL ITEM CATEGORY GROUP
Hi Gurus,
In material master,there are two fields, General Item categary group and Item categary group,
what is the significant usage of these two fields,
In F1 I'm getting same description,
With Regards,
J.SRUTHIHi,
Item Category Group is one of the component which along with the Sales Doc Type, The Item Usage and Higher Level Item Category decide about the Item Category in a sales doc.
As per definition General Item Category Group & Item Category Group both are to detrmine Item Category in Sales Document.
the Item Category Group is used to determine Item Category.
General item category is a broader term and used other than SD processes

Help on Item category group.
Hi experts,
In tab 'Sales: sales org.2 ' view of Mat master data, there are two option 'Item category group' and 'Gen. item cat. grp'.
And I know that the system uses former one to deteremine item category when we are processing sales.
But what's the latter one ''Gen. item cat. grp''? I have read the help doc. But I still very confused.
Welcome any suggestion.
Thanks very much.
-JamesHi James,
I will explain with an example.
Suppose if you are doing Third party processing ,you will create matl master with Gen. Item category group as 'BANS'.
If you create Sales order for this material, system automatically picks Item category as BANS. So no need to maintain while creating Sales order.
Based on Business scenarios if you assign item category in Material master for different material types, system will picks during sales order. otherwise system chooses standard Item category:TAN.
Pls check and revert back.

Item category & item category group
Hi
What is the Function of item category and item category group?
thanx in advhi,
read this help file.
Using the item category group, you group together different material
types for item category determination from the SD view. For every
material type, you can define a default item category group which is
proposed by the SAP System when you create a material master record. For
more information on setting default values please refer to the section
"Define material type defaults.
In the sales document, the system determines the item category from the
item category group of the material and from the sales document type and
proposes this item category in the document. You assign item categories
to sales order types and item category groups elsewhere. You can find
further information on this in the section "Assign item categories".
Actions
If you define your own item category groups, the keys should start with
the letter Z, since this name convention is kept free in the standard
SAP System for this purpose.
1. Check whether you can use the item category groups in the standard
version.
2. If you want to create new item category groups, you must enter an
alphanumeric key with a maximum of 4 characters as well as a textual
description.
Item Catgeory:
In this menu option, you define item categories for sales documents. The
item categories that are contained in the standard SAP R/3 System
together with the sales document types represent the usual business
transactions.
You have the following options for defining your own item categories:
o Copy an existing item category and change it according to your
requirements.
o Create a new item category.
Recommendation
If you define your own item categories, the keys should begin with the
letter Z since SAP keeps this range free in the standard system and
protects it from being overwritten during release upgrades.
If you define your own item categories, you should copy similar item
categories that are defined by SAP and make the required changes there.
In this case, all the specifications of the existing item category are
copied - even the assignment to the sales document types. In particular,
the data for example concerning partner determination, pricing or
document flow which you do not edit on the detail screen of the item
category is also copied. Consequently, you can test the new item
category for the settings made without having to edit the other menu
options.
When copying sales document types, item categories and schedule line
categories, the SAP system automatically creates a log with the copied
data. Using the log, you can check whether all of the copied data
applies to your item category or whether you must make changes.
Note
If you create or copy a new item category that is to be used for a
delivery, you must also define a delivery item category with the same
name. The SAP system automatically transfers the item category that was
found for the sales document item into the delivery item.
Activities
If you only need to make minor changes to the existing item categories
(e.g. changed description), then you change this as appropriate. Minor
changes refer to parameters that have no controlling character.
If you need to make further changes, define a new item category by
copying a similar item category supplied in the standard system and then
change this according to your requirements. In this way, you can for
example define an item category for which a certain type of pricing is
carried out, or for which the data must not differ at header and item
level but which otherwise matches an existing item category.
If you want to create an item category, proceed as follows:
1. Enter an alphanumeric key with a maximum of four characters.
2. Maintain the respective specifications of the detail screen.
3. Also consider the additional functions on item category level and
the item-specific settings in the general sales and distribution
functions.

Hi gurus,
Can anyone pls. help me identify the appropriate item category group for the free goods in CRM only (i.e. no R/3 integ)? The current item category group of these products is set at NORM but we may need to change it to TANN because of an ABAP runtime error. I just don't know how to include it (TANN) in the list of values in the Item Cat. Group field in COMMPR01. Hope you can help me.
Thanks,
TheresaHi Theresa,
In item category determination u will have two entries:
Transaction Typ : ZDBT
Item Cat. Group : NORM
Item Cat. Usage :
Main item cat. :
Item Category : ZDB
Transaction Typ : ZDBT
Item Cat. Group : NORM
Item Cat. Usage : FREE
Main item cat. : ZDB
Item Category : TANN
What I understand is that you wish to do free goods determination.I.e. For 1 Case = 1 Free item
For that we have other pre-requisites like:
Free good determination settings:
1. SPRO->Customer Relationship Management->Basic Functions->Set Up Free Goods->Assign Procedure
2. SAP menu->Master DataPrices and Conditions->/SAPCND/GCM - Maintain Conditions
Condition type: 0NA0
Procedure: 0NA001

Order type and Item category group
Can anyone tell me which is the relation between order type and Item category group from material master ??
In fact the problem is that I have created a material and when I want to create new sales order it gives me this errror:
"No item category available (Table T184 ZORDER ZITGR)"
Is there a tranzaction where I can assign Item category group ZITGR to sale order type ZORDER or something like that??
What should i do?Hi Dan,
Goto T-Code VOV4 and maintain the table
Sales Doc type + Item Category Group + Usage + Higher level Item Category = Item Category
TA + NORM + Nil + Nil = TAN
If you have Customized your own Document Type and Item Category Group and Item Category then give your
Sales Doc type (ZORDER)+ Item Category Group (ZITGR)+ Usage + Higher level Item Category = Item Category (ZTAN)
Reward if helpful

Missing Item Category Group data in Material SD data in CRM
Hi crm experts,
Please help us. We are trying to identify what's the rootcause of the problem we experienced in CRM regarding the Item category group. We are maintaining material master in ECC and it will be replicated in CRM via middleware. The data item category group is properly maintained in ECC but when we checked in CRM, only 3 of the sales areas have it.
Sales Area 1 - YES
Sales Area 2 - NO
Sales Area 3 - YES
Sales Area 4 - YES
So we will do a request load for the data to show also on Sales Area 2.
Item category group were maintained in the ff tables:
ECC table TPTM
CRM table CRMV_ITEM_CAT_GR
Can you please let us know how we can pin point this problem so that this will not happen again? We want to apply a permanent solution if there is. Hoping for your kind assistance. Thanks!
Best regards,
Mikehi

How to use item category group for pricing?
Hi,
how can I use the item category group to carry out pricing?
I want to determine a condition type for item category group DIEN only and no other.
Thanks for help!
FlorianHi Florian Preuss,
You should follow the next steps:
1. Check if the item category group field exist in the pricing catalog to choose it as a field in a table condition, if it doesn't exist (I don't believe that), you should contact to a technical person (ABAP) to add it to the structure KOMPAZ.
2. Create a condition table with this field (item category group) and others that you need to determine the condition.
3. Create an access sequence with this condition table.
4. Create a condition type and assign it the access sequence.
5. Add the condition to pricing procedure.
6.. Enjoy it.
Thanks in advance,

" Item Category Group" in the material master?
Hi,
I'm going to use inbound delivery for purchase order, so I'm going to do it as follows:
1) Create a new "item category group Y001"
2) Create a new "item category Y001 (copy from ELN then change the movement type to 101, and set it relevant to putaway)",
3) Replace the item category group in the material master with Y001
4) Determine the item category via transaction 0184 as the following ways:
"Delivery Type" EL +
"Item Category Group From Material Master" Y001 +
"Item Usage" V +
'Item Category Of The Higher-Level Item"
==> "Determine New Delivery Item Category" Y001
My question is, If I change the item category group in the material master, is there any effect to SD part?
Thanks.hi

Publisher name in Item info for PDF is not displayed
Hi All,
Publisher name in Item info for PDF is not displayed (shows; unkown publisher) in Adobe Digital Editions. The Adobe Acrobat Professional does not have "Publisher" field to add Publisher name; it facilitates user to provide "Title", "Author", "Subject" and "Keywords" into the Document Properties (Ctrl+D)
Some one please guide, to get Publisher name in "item info" for PDF in Adobe Digital Editions.
Cheers
VikasFor PDF the Publisher name comes only from the encryption information that is included when a PDF file is packaged for use by Adobe Content Server. If this information was not included at packaging time there is no end user method for adding it in after the fact.

Item category group for Raw Materials
Hello Gurus,
Goodmorning,
I have a client requirement,
Here my client is selling the Raw materials , i have some confusion in taking the category group , what is the item category group we have to use for determing for the sales categories ? I don't find any special item category group for raw material . in material master as well as in item category determination in in sales document types too .
looking for your inputs in this regard.
Thanks &Regards
Ravi.MHello Ravi,
Sales of Raw material already being discussed some times back.
As I know, as per Central Excise law, you are not suppose to sell the raw material from a manufacturing unit.
Hence, you rename the ROH material code with suffix A. In tcode OSM2, activate sales view tab.
Apart from this, you need to maintain the renamed code in tcode J1ID with numeric value 1 under the tab Declared.
But, normal OR-LF-F2 process.
FYI - Choose of Material tyoe will be important than choose of general item category group. As I Cat group, Materials grouping that helps the system to determine item categories during sales document processing. If a group is configured specific to distribution channel, it has priority if the corresponding activity is distribution channel-dependent. In the standard system, there are normal items, items that signify services (and therefore need no delivery processing) and items that signify packing material, for example.
Thanks & Regards
JP
