Does Supplier Capacity Constraint work at Item Category level ?

Does Supplier Capacity Constraint work at Item Category level (defined in ASL) in ECC plan?

Raja,
There is no functionality to support supplier capacity at the "category" level in ASCP. That would be a nice feature, but it does not exist as per 11.5.10 and I've see no enhancements like this for R12 yet.
You can define supplier capacity only for the specific item-supplier-site relationship via the asl.
As a workaround, there is a feature to define supplier capacity for an ATO model. This could be a dummy item. Then set each of the items that you want to consume supplier capacity to be an ATO item for that ATO model. This is the only current method to share a given supplier capacity across items in ASCP.

  • Blanket Purchase Order or Contract Purchase Order by item Category level

    Hi
    I have a requirement that Strategic buyers will fill agreement with supplier by item Category level
    Agreement will be on Price level and will have expiration date
    The category level will contain list of items Part numbers which are the same item from technically :
    Our business is on the electronics contract manufacturing and we are producing for Customers from the High Tech industry .In order to keep each customer process and unique
    environment we are coding the item Part # per customer since of that the same electronic component having different part # per customer
    Each night we running MRP run (ASCP) and the Planner release Planned order to request ion
    The requirement is that the purchase requisition will derive the price from the agreement based on assigned Category level and will automatically convert to Purchase order
    Looking for your advise how can this be implemented ?
    Thanks

    When you release the Planned Order for the these buy items the cost coming up in the table PO_REQUISITIONS_INTERFACE_ALL will be the list price for the item from Org level.
    But when you have a BPO created for this item and Sourcing rule is created to have automatic release the releases will have the unit price coming from the BPO.
    Correct me if I understood your question wrongly.

  • Screen layout in PR at item category level

    Hello All,
    Can we control / how to control screen layout settings of PR on the basis of item category selected?. If i select D item category, then service tab will appear in item detail. I want the ''short text field'' in the service tab next to the ' service number'' to be in display field.
    The requirement is to restrict user from creating service lines without service master records.
    If i select the PR documnet type -  filed selection, the short description coming in item overview is changing to display mode. But its is not i want.
    N Banu

    Dear Loke Foong,
    I checked that. If i set that for FSK 1, it will reflect in all PRs where item category is D. I want to restrict it to just one PR Service document type. I tried with adding the FSK  assigned to one PR doument type in the cinfuguration you mentioned . But system is not responding. It is only considering the change made in FSK 1. If you delete FSK 1 from that configuration, you cant even create a service PR. How can i restrict the service short description for one service PR doc type to display mode ?
    I will make sure your effort doesnt go noted.
    regards
    NBanu

  • Supplier Capacity in ASL

    Hi Gurus,
    I am running an EDD constrained Production Plan.
    For a buy item, I have defined and assigned a sourcing rule.
    I have defined the supplier capacity constraints in ASL.
    I have collected all the entities and ran the plan.
    I see that the supplier capacities defined in ASL are not being respected.
    Are there any specific setups instructing the planning engine to enforce the supplier capacity constraints defined in ASL.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Mohan Balaji

    Hi All,
    Answering to everyone's question.
    1. I defined ASL with Global option and supplier constaint as 150/day.
    2. Sourcing rule and Assignment set are defined and attached in the plan option.
    3. I attached the supplier and supplier site in the souring rule.
    4. The expected result is that, i need planned orders of 150/day and not more than that. Right now i am getting planned order raing from 250 till 400 which is equal to the forecast set attached to it.
    5. I made and ECC enabled and yes to Supplier capacity constraint to all buckets in ASCP plan option.
    Last action. i have raised an SR with Oracle and they are working on it. I will update the solution in this forum, once i get a solution from Oracle.
    Thanks all for your Time.

  • Automatic Credit Check- Credit active field in Item Category

    Hi All,
    In the current system, simple credit check is active and now the customer would like to consider the open sales order and delivery documents as well. Hence we are activating automatic credit check.
    The issue I am facing here is the credit active field is not activated in Item category level, since it has not been activated, the system is not performing the automatic credit check for the old as well as newly created sales order. If I activate the credit active field in Item category level its working fine for newly creating documents.
    But the credit check is not happening for the sales order which has been created in the past.Whether the credit active field not activated earlier is the reason behind this issue.
    Please let me know is there is any other way to perform credit check for the old sales orders as well.
    Regards,
    Mythily

    But the credit check is not happening for the sales order which has been created in the past.Whether the credit active field not activated earlier is the reason behind this issue.
    Credit check will not happen for the saved sales orders. It is not the reason because of credit active field was  not ticked for item category. you had performed Simple credit check for those orders,
    I assume you might be knowing that Simple credit check does not update open order, open delivery and open invoices etc, it updates only receivables. Even though you had ticked the item category the field credit active, it would not have performed.
    Now for old sales order anyway it will not perform the credit check, only thing you can do
    Run the program RVKRED88  in SE38  so that it will update the all sales values into FD32. This.This is the best way i think this will work. Please test this from your side. I did not check in my system.
    Why you want to perform the credit check on the sales documents which are already created and saved. as per me it does not make sense.
    thanks,
    Srinu.

  • DIP Profile assignment for item category

    Hi Gurus,
    I  know at item category Level  we can see "DIP Profile" .  but i want to now whether any assignment any where in IMG?
    Regards,
    Seegal

    Hello Seegal
    You asked about assignment right? At least that's what I understood it as.
    If you are asking about where to set up the profile itself, then here is the answer  for that:
    T Code: ODP1
    Menu path: From SD: SPRO/IMG/Sales and Distribution/Sales/Sales Documents/Customer Service/Service Quotation/Resource-Related Billing/Profiles For Resource-Related Billing/Quotation Creation
    Does that help you?

  • Item category & item category group

    Hi
    What is the Function of item category and item category group?
    thanx in adv

    hi,
    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.
    Regards,
    Murali

    Venkat

    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.

  • CRM Availability Check not working for certain Item Category

    Hi there,
    I have a situation where for certain order type/item category combinations, the availability check on the same material is not working.
    The check is set up to happen in SAP ECC.
    I have checked the config. under SPRO->CRM->Basic Functions->Availability Check->Availability Check using SAP ECC
    as per many SDN posts on this, and everything looks fine.
    The new item category, which was a copy of an existing one, works (i.e. gives availability) for certain order types, but not others.
    If I create the same order directly in ECC, it works correctly every time.
    I searched the code (from consultants who set it up originally) and can see nothing specific to the order type/ item category.
    I also put a breakpoint on AVAILABILTY_CHECK function module in SAP ECC - it is not being hit, in the case where check is not successful.
    Breakpoints in MV45AFZZ (Sales Order userexit) also not being hit, but they are hit for the Order/item category combination when it works successfully.
    Any suggestions on where else this could be configured would be appreciated!
    thanks,
    David

    Hi David,
    One 'simple' reason for this could be that the copied item category does not have the
    ATP Profile set up in the item category in the IMG. Make sure you have an ATP profile assigned in the area 'ATP Profile' in the item category.
    Please see as well the SCN Wiki link:
    Availability Check CRM-BTX-BF-ATP - CRM - SCN Wiki
    Best regards

  • Item category limit (B) in frame work order

    Is it that item category B (limit) is mandetory in frame work order ? In that case it should appear by default. Can we use any other item category with frame work order logically?

    first the question is why do we use frame work order when we already have other document ype avilable
    answer is when ever we need to create a po for a validity period then frame work order is used
    next thing why do we use u=item category B or limit
    answer genrally frame. work order is used as blanket po means for those comodities which r procured very frequently but there monetrey value is very less

  • Error while doing GR 561 - No item category exists (Table T184L DIG WMPP  )

    Hi,
    I am doing 561 to Finished goods St loc which is WM enabled and getting the above error.
    Question - I don't have authorization to check or change the item category. How do I receive goods to this St loc? I tried transfering stock from another location, but system does not allow that as well.
    While doing 561, system creates an inbound delivery in the background. At that time it checks for item category and fails.
    Any way I can post stock to this st loc?

    561 movment is only to be used for stock load at GO-Live date, not beyond, as its offset account is  usually  an account that is specially defined for initial inventory postings.
    Can it be that you are using decentralized WM (because of the inbound delivery) ?
    Without customizing you are not able to sove that problem, except you are using movement types that are allowed and setup well.
    Maybe you should explain why you think that you need to add stock with 561´

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

    Hi all,
    I have created 3 item categories (ZM1J, ZM0J and ZMFJ)

    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.

    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.

  • Does item category TAS allow to create Outbound delivery doc?

    Hi experts,
    I have a problem with the delivery creation.  The scenario is:
    Our vendor missed to deliver a part to us. Say for example he missed to delivery the screw (used to adjust the time) in the wrist watch. This part is supposed to be assembled together with the wrist watch & delivered to our customer.
    Now we need to deliver this missed part to our customer. The initial watch has been shipped to the customer without the screw. But the cost of the screw is already included in the total cost of the watch.
    Now the vendor is going to send us this screw.  So my requirement is to create a subsequent free of charge kind of sales order that triggers a PR to the vendor & once this PR is converted to PO, on the PO
    the Free Item will be ticked as the Vendor charged us for the whole wrist watch. This is also a kind of subsequent free of charge delivery by the vendor.
    When I use item category TAS it does generates the PR & I converted this to a PO to this vendor. I also did the GR for this PO.  But when I create outbound delivery for this subsequent free of charge sales order,
    it says the item is not relevant for delivery.
    Could you tell me how to handle this situation & what item category to use which will allow me to create
    Outbound delivery so that I can proceed to post goods issue & create 0 dollar invoice?
    Thanks for your help.

    Check the item category configuration for TAS. It does not have the tick for 'Item relevance for delivery'.
    This can be seen in the following path:
    IMG > Sales and distribution > Sales > Sales documents > Sales document item > Maintain item categories.
    The idea of having a 3rd party sale (with item category TAS) is that the item is directly delivered from your vendor to customer. When you perform goods receipt of the PO, it will not ask for a storage location, since the product does not enter the plant premises.
    This is a one step method to dispatch goods directly. Hence the outbound delivery is not required once GR is done.  The next step is to enter a vendor invoice followed by customer billing document.
    If you check the accounting part of the GR material document it will be
    Cost of goods sold DR
    GR/IR clearing account CR
    However, in your case, since the material is a FOC, there should not be an accounting document, and hence no vendor invoice verification / customer billing.
    In standard, the item category TAS is relevant for billing. Hence if you do not require billing (being FOC), I suggest you use another item category (a copy of TAS) without billing relevance. I guess everything else should fall in place.
