Determination of a different item category for free goos

Please help me with this:
- I need on va01 determine a different item category with free goods, instead of tann and tan i want to use another ones only when i use exclusive free goods.
I use inlcusive and exclusive free goods conditions but i want to use with the exclusive free goods on va01 a different item category and i don´t know how to do it.
Thanks in advance.
Catarina

Thanks for your answer.
I create two new item categories : ZTN1 copy of TAN and ZTNN Copy of TANN.
I assigned to sales order entry -» OT, NORM, FREE, ZTN1 assign ZTNN. But i also have another assignement with OT, NORM, FREE, TAN assing TANN. How can i define if the system has to determine one or another because by default the system assumes TAN and TANN for free goods and if i want another item category i have to modify manually in order process.
Thanks,
Catarina Alves

Item category for free goods that does not require extra free goods

Hi all,
I have created 3 item categories (ZM1J, ZM0J and ZMFJ)
ZM1J is standard item for sales
ZM0J is free goods
ZMFJ is also free goods
I have setup VBN1 for free goods "buy 10 get 1 free" and my order is including these 3 item categories
ZM1J 10 EA and ZM0J 1 EA. These 2 lines are correct as I need.
Then I give other free goods which is ZMFJ 10 EA and system is asking me to give free goods 1 EA but I don't want to give free goods for ZMFJ. I will deliver only 21 EA (10 for sales and 11 for free)
What config it should do for this case?
Another question, ZM0J is selected by default. How to manually change it to ZMFJ in sales order? This is because some case, I still need to use ZM0J.
Please advise. Thank you very much.
Best Regards,
Darin

Hi,
Item category is determined by the four combination
Sales order + item category group + usage + item category at higher level.
Now you are using free goods determination procedure.
So that does not depend upon item category determination.
You have to define the item category determination so that proper delivery and proper pricing happens.
Now if you are giving 10more free item for which you have maintain free goods determination master data.
Then system will automatically give one more free goods for that material.
but if you giving some other material as a free goods then please let me know.
Give your requirement that in which way you want to process your ZMFJ then we can give you better suggestion.
To define alternative item category go to
IMG u2013 SD u2013 Sales u2013 Sales documents u2013 sales document item u2013 assign item category.
Over here you can assign alternative item category for your combination.
If you assign over here then you can change manually in the sales order.

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
Rohit

Hi 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"
Thanks,

We need a No-Charge TAQ item Category for a Sales BOM

We have a situation where we will bring in several Sales BOM's on a Sales order, but need to have one or more of the Sales BOM's to be a No-Charge item (similar to a TANN Item Cat).
We are using ERLA (top down) Item Category Group for the Sales BOM materials and when we use these materials in a sales order I would like to be able to change the some of the Sales BOM's Item Category to a No Charge category (we created a ZAQ item category for this situation), but when you creating the Sales Order, the top level item where the pricing is (the TAQ item category) is GRAYED out and I can not change it to our new ZAQ category, even though it appears in the drop down list for the Item Category.
Is there any way to make the top level TAQ item category for Item Cat. Group ERLA a maintainable field on the Sales order?

As I know- std , will not support Return scenario of Sales BOM & Free goods.
Work around may be needed to achieve this, other than standard.
Create Zitem category by copying from REN - (ZREN - with structure scope & application), determine item category for sub items as well.
Maintain copy controls accordingly from RE to LR - Ret delivery & RE- Credit for returns.
Test & revert.

Item Category for materials

How does the system determine the item category in the sales order, is it possible that item categories for the same material will be diffrent for 2 plants. If so, where do I maintain the item category that 1 specific matetial bevave the same why in all plants.

Hi,
*How does the system determine the item category in the sales order*
The ITEM CATEGORY determination is done in VOV4 transaction
Path: IMG->SALES & DISTRIBTION>SALES>SALES DOCUMENTS>SALES DOCUMENT ITEM--->ASSIGN ITEM CATEGORIES
Here you have to assign you item category defined in VOV7 to
SALES DOCUMENT TYPE
ITEM CATEGORY GROUP
USAGE
HIGHER LEVEL ITEM CATEGORY
DEFAULT ITEM CATEGORY which you want the system to determine in the sales order.
is it possible that item categories for the same material will be diffrent for 2 plants
Here i am not clear on this question, are you asking to create the different ITEM CATEGORIES for the same material differently in different plants?
if this is the question yes, you can assign different item categories for the plants
Just extend the Material for the other plants and change the ITEM CATEGORY
Please revert if you have more queries

Item Category for Batch Split Line

Where do I change how SAP determines the batch split item category? Currently it is defaulting to an different item category than I intend.
Thanks.

Hi Mark,
In your delivery item category determination you should maintain as below
Document type : Document Type for which you are doing delivery
Item category Group : Item category Group for which you are trying to make batch split.
Usage : Should be CHSP
Higher Level Category : Determined item category for the combination of document type and item category group.
For the above combination define item category.
Rewards points if it helps.

Item category TAK - free of charge

Hello!
We use item category TAK, but now face the request to send TAK items free of charge.
Normally i would use order type FD, but this has no assigned item category for "0001 make-to-order"
No item category available (Table T184 FD 0001 )
Now i wonder how to continue correctly.
In the order there's TANN as a free of charge variant for TAN
in order type FD, there's item category KLN (only for "normal lines"!?)
Do i need to set up a "Z"- item category or is there any standard that i don't find / understand!?
Thanks a lot in advance for your help!
Regards
Markus

Hello,
you shoud create a Z* item category as copy of the TAK, but without billing relevance (like KLN).
On top of that, all the customizing item-level relevant, should be the proper mix of both the items used as reference (i.e. the incompletion rule of your Z* item should have the NETWR field in the incompletion procedure).
Best regards,
Andrea

Delivery Item Category for Batch Split

Dear All,
Referring to Stock Transfer Order
ME21N --> VL10I --> Vl02N --> PGI --> MIGO
During delivery we select multiple batches through Batch Split.
In my Development server the system determines Item Cat as NLN (NLNORMCHSP = NLN)
In my Quality server the system determines Item Cat as ULN (NLNORMCHSP = ULN)
The setting for Both Item cat is same Except NLN is marked for Error during over delivery.
Pls suggest me which one is appropriate.
Thanks & regards,
Shailendra Panhale

Mr. Gauravijit
Pl try the following configuration
Go to logistic Eex->Shipping->Deliveries->define item category for deliveries
Delivery type - item category group - usage--item cat
LF NORM CHSP TAN
Pl try the above configuration and do the batch split in the delivery.

Item Category for a Product

Hi All,
I need to get the Item Category Group for a product. Are there any function modules to get this. Or else which database tables to look in for.
Thanks,
Smita

Hi,
What is your Question?. Are you looking for Item Category Groups are what?.
Item category doesn't carry any value. It helps you to categorise the product as per the requirement.
e.g: If you have created a product--XYZ in CRM Product Master, there in the BASIC DATA View if you mention the ITEM CATEGORY as NORM and the DIVISION as 00.
And now if you want to use this product in an application like Sales Order (TA), then you have to do the Item category determination in IMG..and i hope you know the procedure..
even though i am mentioning here:
Path: IMG --> CRM --> Transactions --> Basic Functions --> Item Category Determination
Transaction Type --> TA
Item Category Group --> NORM
Item Category Usage --> -
Main Item Category --> -
Item category --> TAN
this is the setting you have to maintain. and here actual process goes like this
SYSTEM will check the details which you have maintained in the IMG like
1. The Transaction Type which you are using (TA)
2. The product which you are selected (XYZ)
Now SYSTEM will search the combination which you have maintained in the IMG, and if it find the result then it posts the ITEM CATEGORY (TAN) for the product.
I hope it'll satisfy your question, if not let me know then I'll try to solve it.
Unfortunately i am not able to explain it by showing you the screen shots...

Item category for Configurable material in return sales

Hi all
I would like to know the Item category for the Configurable Material in Sales Returns process. (In MTO scenario)
Thanks and Regards
BMS

Hi BMS
The item category will be REN , because the return process is same . But the only thing is in REN item category you have to maintain the BOM data as item categroy TAC has
Secondly make sure in item category determination in VOV4 you determine the item category REN .
For example RE + 0004 + --- + = REN

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,
Vijay

Hi 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.

If you check F1 Help says:

Change the identifier if necessary.
Further notes
Please note that the table of item categories is an SAP system table.
Its content must not be changed by customers.
Even in change mode, you can only display the characteristics of the item categories
