Disable Item Category Field in Va01using Enhancement Point

Dear Experts,
I have a requirement to disable the "Item Category" column in VA01 transaction for certain order types.
I have tried using MV45AFZZ(USEREXIT_FIELD_MODIFICATION), but it does not help me much as it works only if a material is entered in the table.
I want the field to be disabled even if no material is entered in the item level table, i.e. during the load of the Overview screen.
I know we can do this using Implicit Enhancement Points, but i am not able to get the exact include to implement my code.
Can anyone please help me in finding the exact location to write my code, so that the "Item Category" column will always be disabled for that order type.
Thanks,
Praveen

Go to the screen where you want to disable the column by using system--> status-(click on screen no).
Identify the perform statement in PBO before the table control loop.there try implicit enhancement.
It will definitely work.
Thank You <Reward request removed by moderator>

A/c assignment category and item category fields purpose

what is the importance of account assignment category and item category fields in po(me21n).what is the impact of that fields.

Hi,
Account Assignment category is a vital field in purchasing document & has many control functions and helps in determining the object that will be charged in case of an ordered material which is procured for direct usage or consumption. By using the
account assignment category in the purchasing documents the cost of the material can be apportioned to a single Controlling object or it can be apportioned among various Controlling objects.
The account assignment category determines:
a.The nature of the account assignment
b.Which accounts are to be charged when goods receipt is posted
c.Which accounts are to be charged when the incoming invoice are posted
d.Which account assignment data you must provide
Item category is vital field in the purchasing documents & has many control functions and helps in determining whether an ordered material:
a.Requires a material number
b.Requires an account assignment
c.is to be placed in stock
d.Requires a goods receipt (GR) and/or an invoice receipt (IR)
In addition to the above it is also used for differentiating the different types of procurement processes and the types of stocks including special stocks available.

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,
Kumar

Dear 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.
Any Suggestions

Bill of material / Configuration
4. Configuration Strategy:
o The value of this field determines the configuration strategy for the line item. That means it can understand if the correct dependencies are selected or not.
o Controls which checks and processing are run automatically or are allowed during configuration.
o The configuration strategy is a group concept which can also be used for item categories.
o You can set various fine-tune controls for each strategy, for instance whether the system is to run a check for required characteristics or for multiple selections of characteristics.
5.Material varient action
o The value of this field determines the system response when the system finds material variant for selected characteristics.
o Controls how the system reacts when it determines that an existing configuration is already used as a stockable type.
o When defining a stockable type, the system may then determine a considerably earlier delivery deadline as no separate make-to-order production is required.
6. ATP material varient
o The value of the field determines whether the system has to carry out ATP check on material variants.
7. Varient matching
o This will activate variant determination.
o This indicator determines variant configuration.
8. Manual alternative
o This indicator allows the user to choose manual alternatives for BOM items during sales order processing.
o If a multiple BOM occurs during bill of material explosion in SD, you can determine, for each item type, whether you want to select the alternative manually. In this case, you reach an alternative selection screen with specifications on the lot size range.
9. Param effectiveness
o This indicator controls that the item can be maintained with parameter effectivity.
o Parameter effectivity determines the conditions under which object changes are effective.
o By integrating with the Engineering Change Management cross functionality. The BOM items properties can be changed by passing certain parameters like customer number, serial number, date etc.
Service management tab
10. Repair procedure
· Repairing procedure is the procedure in which we specify stages and actions that are to be carried out for the service item.
· Set of rules according to which sub-items are created in the repair order.
· In the standard system, repair procedures are assigned to each item category which is used in repairs processing.
· The repair procedure consists of the following:
o Stages (for example, repair registration)
o Actions (for example, repair goods, send temporary replacement)
· By assigning actions to stages, you set up the rules by which the system determines what sub-items are required during a particular phase of repairs processing
Control of resource related billing and creation of quotation
Billing form:·
The value of this field specifies how the billing is to be carried out for the resource related items.
·     The billing form specifies whether a flat rate or the dynamic items are invoiced individually when performing billing using a resource-related billing document.
·     Following are the options:
o     Fixed rate
o     Costs
DIP profile:
·     Name of the dynamic item processor profile (DI processor profile).
·     The dynamic item processor is a tool that the system uses to summarize data (for example, line items, and totals records) into dynamic items in sales price calculation, resource-related billing, or data determination.
·     Dynamic Item is a service item.
·     In IMG we define DIP Profile for dynamic item and assigned it at item category level.
·     The DI profile controls how the system summarizes the data into dynamic items. A DI processor profile can have different usages.

Item Category field settings

Sir,
As we know that for standard document type key is "NBF"
so for item category what is the standard key
regards
amey

Hi,
NBF is standard field selection Key for PO document type NB.
In standard SAP, we can't create a new item Category and we need to use existing 10 item categories.
In order to use differant field setting for your item category, you need to define new field selection key for a new PO document type.Then assign the new Field selection key for the document type and allow only required item category for that document type.

Item category fields: Pricing & billing relevancy..

Hi Experts,
In item category have fields called pricing & billing. why?
If item relevant for billing means system relevant for pricing as well.
If the item is relevant for pricing means we do billing for that item, then why fields are required,
Please light on this.
Thx

Hi
Billing Relevence means order related billing or delivery related billing and so on
Means whether the sales order is taken as a source doc for billing or delivery doc is taken as a source doc for billing and so on and accordingly copy controls are set
Billing relevence means pricing also is there
why separate fields
Both of them have different controls
Pricing means whether it is standard pricing(normal pricing),No pricing,or 100% discount like these entries are defined
Say TANN it is not relevent for billing but pricing is B that is 100% discount
It means when the sales order is created when an item is created free of charge the system determines the pricing for that item and makes it a 100% discount thro condition type R100
It means when these values are posted in FI you will know how much values you have given as discount
For free item also involves manufacturing cost or procurement cost which the client parts as a sales promotion so he need to know the values
When this item cat TANN comes for billing it is not billed because billing relevence is kept blank
Pricing here controls what is going to be the pricing in sales order not in billing doc

Raja

After giving evrything when it is "ENTERED", the pop up coming "You can not enter Schedule line data for Item 000010". I checked that the schedule line has been defined for this Item Category and this item cayegory is showing against F4 and it is taking but the moment "ENTER" is pressed this item category vanishes and the quantity field becomes empty and Grayed. Even it is not possible to keep the curser on the field of material quantity.
Please guide me to ivercome the situstion and to create the consignment issue order.

In normal consignment process, system wont give this pop up message during issue order stage. Please let me know the message number and also you have to update whether you followed standard document types, item category and schedule line category. If you have zee types, then you need to compare with standard settings.

Sales Order - Reasons for material Nr and item category being disabled

Hello,
In some of our sales orders items (without subsequent documents), SAP disables fields Material Nr and Item Category. Can you please help on the reasons for this? Please note that we do not use configurable materials.
Regards,
Joã

Hi,
The material number will always comes greyed out in standard SAP. You cannot change the material number. If you want to change it, you have to delete the line as a whole and then introduce a new line with new material.
For the item category field, it is either greyed out or available for editing based on the configuration done in the tcode VOV4. For the sales order type, item category group etc.....if you maintain only one item category as the default IC, then this field will be greyed out after populating the default I.C. If there are alternate I.Cs maintained here, then this field is available for editing. Please check this once.

Item Category 'L' (Subcontracting)

Hello,
I would just like to ask if a UB-type PO (Stock Transfer Order) could have an item category 'L' which is Subcontracting. Currently, only item category 'U' (Stock Transfer) is available in the item category field when creating a UB-type PO through transaction ME21n.
Do adding item category 'L' (Subcontracting) in the system's configuration for UB-type (Stock Transfer Order) PO makes any sense?
Please let me know your thoughts regarding this matter.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi,
item category L made for only Subcontract cycle.we can not use L in UB by following reasons.
When u use UB Doc type you can not enter SC Vendor in PO even after config L with document type UB,system shows supplying plant field.
UB can be used in Plant to plant transfer or Company code to company code transafer or Storage location to storage location transfer.
since in subcontracting cycle there is a involvement of SC vendor which has subsidiary ledger under reconciliation account and Goods issue (Components or BOM ) lying with SC vendor under special Stock, which will further consume useing movement type 543 during MIGO this functionality is not possible with UB.
Hope this will clear your doubt.

Hi,
Create a Custom Authorization Object so that you can control it for certain users. 2. Write implicit enhancement spot in the include TCS MV45AF0T_TCTRL_U_ERF_AUFTRAG_I,
FORM TCTRL_U_ERF_AUFTRAG_INIT
AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'ZITMCAT'
          ID 'ACTVT' FIELD '02'.
IF SY-SUBRC NE 0.
*    DATA: WA_COLS LIKE LINE OF TCTRL_U_ERF_AUFTRAG-COLS.
LOOP AT   TCTRL_U_ERF_AUFTRAG-COLS INTO WA_COLS.
   IF WA_COLS-SCREEN-NAME = 'VBAP-PSTYV'.
   WA_COLS-SCREEN-INPUT = 0.
   WA_COLS-SCREEN-OUTPUT = 1.
MODIFY TCTRL_U_ERF_AUFTRAG-COLS FROM WA_COLS.
