Default Item category
Dear All,
When creating a sales order with reference to quotation which contains 2 materials, for one material item catogery defaulted in sales order is not the correct and the other material is OK. I checked in VOV4 item catergory determination is also OK.
Please advice me what could be the reason for this.
TIA
kogi
Hi,
In MM02 for the material check the general item category group & the item category group in Basic data 1 screen & in Sales:sales Org 2 screen.
In VOV4 check whether you have used any usage for the item.
Reward points if solution hleps.

I have made a new document type for Sub contracting incase of PO creation.
How can I make the Item category L as a default value for that Documenet type, i.e As soon as I choose the document type as Sub- contracting in PO, the item category should have the value as L.Hi,
First of all, there is not any such configuration setting in SAP which enables you to default automatically the item category ''L" when you select document type. Of course, you can restrict only item category "L" via configuration of your related PO document type (via IMG ---> Material Management ---> Purchasing ---> Purchase Order ---> Define Document Type). The only setting that you can be able to set a default item category "L" is throgh definition of special procurement key (via Transaction OMD9). Yet, this setting is a plant-specific which I don't really know whether it can meet your business requirements. Having said that you can still find some workaround solution which is completely subject to your purchase-to-order process. To be more specific, you should look into if -
1) The material requirement is always coming from purchase requisition;
2) If this is the case, then how was your PR generated? Manually? or via MRP run? or directly from work order? etc...

How to Use Default Item Category in a Shared Instance
Hi Gurus,
Hope you all are doing well.
We have very critical issue. Infact we are implementing Oracle 12.1.3 for a Customer who is using a shared instance with another country. Infact the other country has already set Default Item Category Set, Now we also want ours.
How to Achieve the same, Please let me know.
We are also defining PO Approval Group Item Category range wise but there our category is not reflecting.
Please suggest me how to go about this.

Hi Mahendra,
Shared instance means our customer has one single Business in Differennt Countries.
So they have already implemented for Indonesia Business and they have their own Ledger, OU and Inv Orgs etc.
Now we are implementing for India Business. So Default Category has been set by Indonesia team already.
But according to standard functionality of Oracle Default Category Set only reflect everywhere.
So the issue is we want to also use our category so that it will reflect while Creating POs, In Approval Group and in other place.
How to achieve the same ?
I hope this will give you the clarity.
Regards,
AdityaFor one functional area we can have only one default category set
you need to define different categories in the flexfield value set...ex PO Item Category
so after defining them..you should be able to see them in item categories in purchasing approval groups
Also check if any values are been defaulted from the value set of the segment..
Like say..if value set has been set to dependent..with some default value...in that case you need to attach differnet value set to it..with new values..

Default item category for components in task list
Hii all,
I need one help. We need to maintain default item category for components in task list.
Currently it comes as "L" and the field is non editable.
Is there any way wherein i can edit the item category to "N" or any other. Also need to know why this category "L" appears?
I can brint the default item category in the service order by the standard config.(PM/CS--> Maint & serv processing --> Main & Service orders --> General data --> define default values for component item categories)
But i want it in the task list.
Please help
Regards,
VijayHi Vijay,
Just go to task list and then to component. go to item category field and press F1 (help)
its mention
Item Category (Bill of Material)
Categorization of the items in a BOM according to set criteria, such as whether they refer to an object (for example, material master or document info record) or whether they are kept in stock.
To my knowledge It wont be possilbe have item category N in task list by directly adding material.
Hi Pete,
Correct me if i am wrong that configuration setting for default material type and item category works for orders only. -
Manual item category gets overridden by default item category
When I enter a manual item category for a material in a sales order, it gets overwritten by the default item category maintained in VOV4 (maintained for the order type and item category group. This is in ECC6. It is working in 4.7 though. How do we permit the manuaul item category to be entered and not get overwritten by default item category?
Hi,
You have not mentioned in VOV4, manual item category has been maintained or not. Can you check the values are maintained in those column?
Also in the debug mode, you can check whether any user exit is restricting this.

Defaulting Item category in Equp BOM
Dear Experts,
I have a problem at the time of creating Equipment BOM, i am mentioning all the details in Header data and while entering the material numbers, it is asking to enter the item category.
In our scenario item category for all engg materials is L only. I want to default that field with L. I searched in IMG, but could not get it.
Anybody can guide me to solve this problem??
Thanks and Regards,
B. Praveenhi
i think you can make using IMG settings under bill of material ,or use T code OICA and maintain Make User-Specific Settings
You can specify the following default values:
item increment
item category for the "New Materials Items" screen
item category for the "New Document Items" screen
item category for the "New Class Item" screen
material provision indicator
PM assembly (maintenance BOMs)
dialog print options (BOM evaluations)
Recommendation
You should maintain the following values:
item category for the "New Material Items" screen
item category for the "New Document Items" screen
You can define default values which are valid for all users by making entries for a user 'DUMMY'

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 using item usage
Hi All,
We have a scenario where we need to derive item category based on Item usage.
We have defined a function module to derive at the item usage. Now we need to derive the item category based on this usage.
We were able to do this and we are able to get the default item category for this. We have assigned few manual item categories also along with default.
When we try to change the item category manually it is again resetting it to default item category.
ex: OR LEIS A -> Tan X Y (Where A is the usage,X and Y are manual item categories, OR is order typea nd LEIS is item category group)
To expalin clearly the above Tan is getting determined as default correctly bit when we try to change it ti X it is not accepting.
It is allowing to enter X and Y manually only if we have another entry above similar to this:
OR LEIS -> Tan X Y (Without usage).
Now we dont want the entry without usage.
In debugging we noticed that usage field (VWPOS ) is blank.
We understand that there is one function midule SD_VBAP_VWPOS_GET which derives usage for free goods,CMIR, repair items etc adn we are nto sure where they are calling this FM to so that the system determines item category based on usage.
Cna anybody help on this please.
Regards
BashaHi Raghu,
you understading is correct.
The purpose of using the usage in our scenario is to overcome the extra entry i.e without usage.
We are deriving the usage but we are not sure where to call the Z function module so taht system will directly go to:
Slaes doc type+ item category group+ Usage -
> IC
with out checking for entry sales doc type+ item category -
> IC (in VOV4).
The main purpose of using usage here is that system should directly go to the place where usage is used.
It works fine when we go for CMIR and assign usage there but CMIR is not allowed.
Please help.

Item Category Determination in Deliveries against STO
Dear Guru,
In our STO process, there will always have a Outbound delivery created for this STO PO.
Actually my question is how the system deterermine the correct item category for the outbound delivery.
I checked through configuration under "Define Item Category Determination in Deliveries" or tcode "0184", from which i can find the conbination by "delivery type" + Item category group, but there are many different item category usage and default item category
As such, can anyone please advice me if there is any place where i can maintain the "item category usage" or "Default Item category" to allow the UB STO PO determine the correct item category.
thank you very much
Regards
Chee WeeDear Pankaj,
So sorry, i'm still not clear.
Actually for my client, they have a non-standard PO document type UB2 for the Stock transport order between 2 different plant and the physical address or location will determine by the storage location.
and the complete flow is STO PO--> Outbound delivery --> Inbound Delivery with Ref. with outbound Delivery
--> Goods Issue --> Goods Receipt
and understand from other post, the Mvt type to be use for the outbound delivery will be determine by the item category and Sales Order Schedule line.
For my case, the default Order type is YDL, and Item cat group in Sales Org view 2 is Norm, but for YDL + Norm conbination are many which having different Item catogory usage and Item category.
So how can i know which one the correct item category in "0184" which i can use it to determine the Sales order schedule line.? -
Item Category Determination- Usage
Hi All,
I am looking into my system configuration for item category determination.
I know that Item category is determined based on
1. Sales document type
2. Item category group
3. Usage and
4. Higher level item cat group
Here, I came to know that Usage is determined from Customer material info record. But in my system, I see a Line item with out usage maintained in CMIR but detemined the item category relevant for usage.
Any of you guys have a thought on this?
Thank you
KrisItem Usage is not a mandatory field in CMIR (T.Code: VD51). Hence the same can be left blank and item category will be determined accordingly.
From configuration point of view, I was refering to as under:
Sales Order Type | Item Category Group | Usage | H.L. Item cate | Default Item Category
OR | NORM | blank | blank | TAN
OR | NORM | blank | TAP | TAN
OR | NORM | APO0 | TAPA | TAN

Item Category Usage: Free
Hi
Want to know significance of Usage Free, know that used in VOV4 , but scenario where this is used , for eg when we define TAN and higher level Item Vcat as TAN the result is TANN.
Also I have searched the usage field in MARD/MARC/MARA, no mention of usage field
Document type OR
Item cat group NORM
Usage FREE
Higher level item category TAN
Default Item category TANN
Regards
RohitHi bahlrohit1,
Usage field will tell what is the purpose of Particular Material
Example:
FREE: For free goods Material
CHSP: Batch Items
TEXT: Text Materilals..etc
Higher level item category and Item usage are used in the item category determination.
Let me take an example of Item Category TANN (Free of charge Item)
Item category Determination: Sales Document type + Item Category Group + Usage + Higher Level Item Category
TA + NORM + FREE + TAN = TANN
Higher Level Item category: The category on which this item category is dependent. meaning for TAN , TANN is a free item. Therefor TAN is the higher level item category.
Item Category Usage: It controls system response during document processing. The line item has an specific usage according to that usage it has to respond. Free for free items, text for text items etc.
Please go thru the below issues
Re: "item usage"

Hi Experts,
We are facing a problem in our production system
(i.e) we have order created in crm and flows to r/3 system and the billing is carried out there and the status of the order in CRM should be changed to complted once the billing is complted.
However it does not happen so for some of orders because,
Item Category ZTAD used in ZOB2 order type is having the object type as SALES ITEM and which are automatically deliver relevant in CRM. In this process system look for the deliver document which is not available (our ZOB2 orders are order related billing) and the system puts the status of the order to inprogress.
options we tried:
a) we have created a new status profile and assigned it to the ZTAD, but on doing so the quantity of the item changes to zero
b) we have created a new item category with object type CUSTOMER DEBIT MEMO REQUEST ITEM but could not assign it the sales document ZOB2 since it's category is SALES.
c) we have Modified badi ORDER_SAVE to make the document complete when ever ZTAD item category is noticed in the sels order, On doing this the sales document flow is not updated.
Can any one suggest solution for this.
Regards
Swaroop
+91-9999444519hi,
you are requested to check whether your item category exists in the combination of
ZIN 0005
with
SALES DOCUMENT TYPE + ITEM CATEGORY + USEAGE + HIGHERLVEL IC = DEFAULT ITEM CATEGORY.
in VOV4.
it will not be there do your item category determinatin there and proceed.

Item Category Change using UserExit/Enhancement
Hi,
Require your valuable inputs on the below requirement:
We have a requirement where we have to determine the Shipping Point, Plant, Storage Location and Item category from a Custom table using header Shipping Conditions.
As per the SAP standard, Shipping point and default item category are determining in Order. Currently, we will only use NORM as Gen item category group in all the material masters.
We have maintained the Custom Table with the below fields:
Sales Document Type
Sales document item category
Sales Organization
Distribution Channel
Division
Shipping Conditions
Shipping Point/Receiving Point
Plant
Storage Location
Based upon the fields we have to determine the above in the Sales Order in Create and Change and further processing.
We have already use the User Exit: MV45AFZZ, but there is inconsistency in updation of billing etc., Profitability segment, PR Etc.., we also tried with MV45AFZB, this User Exit is not getting triggered from Header level because we want to update the ItCat, ShpCon, Plant,S.Loc & Shpnt from the shipping conditions in custom table.
Please suggest me in which User Exit/Enhancement trigger point to determine the above and subsequent process should follow as per the standard process and not to deviate with other tables.
Looking for your valuable inputs on these. We were totally struck in providing this solution.
Regards,
KumarDear MoazzaM,
Using the Exit: MV45AFZZ, in Routine: USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_VBAK, we have triggered our custom code to change the Item Category, Plant, Storage Location and Shipping Point. It is working fine at the Sales Order level.
But we found these are partially not updated properly
1) There is a Inconsistency in Creation of the Purchase Requisiton, where for the Individual PO, the Storage Location remains the old one.
2) When we create the PO from the
2) In billing, at the item level, the plant and shipping point is also wrong which is not the source one from sales order and delivery, but the delivery details are correct
3) In accounting doc also, the plant is wrong.
Below is the piece of Code:
IMPORT gv_vsbed FROM MEMORY ID 'VSBED'.
IF gv_vsbed IS NOT INITIAL.
SELECT SINGLE * FROM *Custom Table*
INTO gs_shippoint
WHERE auart = xvbak-auart
AND vkorg = xvbak-vkorg
AND vtweg = xvbak-vtweg
AND spart = xvbak-spart
AND vsbed = xvbak-vsbed.
IF gv_vsbed NE xvbak-vsbed.
LOOP AT xvbap INTO lwa_xvbap.
idx = sy-tabix.
IF xvbak-vsbed IS NOT INITIAL.
IF NOT gs_shippoint IS INITIAL AND
lwa_xvbap-pstyv NE gs_shippoint-pstyv.
*** Update the Item category , plant, storage location and Shipping/Receiving point.
lwa_xvbap-pstyv = gs_shippoint-pstyv.
lwa_xvbap-werks = gs_shippoint-werks.
lwa_xvbap-lgort = gs_shippoint-lgort.
lwa_xvbap-vstel = gs_shippoint-vstel.
MODIFY xvbap INDEX idx FROM lwa_xvbap.
UPDATE vbap FROM TABLE xvbap.

Link Material Type Item Category
Hi,
How can i make the link between the material type and the item category when the material has NO BOM ? Otherwise each time a PM order si created the item category has to be filled (stock or no stock). I know it is there i just can't find it.
Thanks,
OlivierHello,
Can you brief me on how it works?
When i checked the setting of link item category with the material type then it shows me that the item category is to be defined based on the material type and maintenance plant. But what is the relation in term of the order type i.e. whenever i create any order with a specifica order type, the default item category should get reflected on the componenets tab of the order?
Can you guide me how to do this setting.
