How to configure Item Category in Purchase Order document

Hi
Can someone tell me how to configure the Item Category in Purchase ORder document? This field is displayed next to Account Assignment in PO screen.
Thanks,
Lin-Lin

I think your issue is screen layout of the PO
please go to
SPRO-MM-Purchasing-Purchase order-Define Screen Layout at Document Level
here you can select the ME21N and double click on it
on field selection of basic data you can make item category is optional than it will be avialable
if still you find the problesm than check your field selection of your document type and change that field selection as above mentioned.

How to compare Item Text in Purchase Order

God day Gurus,
I have a scenario where in I have to compare the saved Item Text to the current edited one in Purchase Oder. I used READ_TEXT function but it only get the saved item text in the document. Is there a way to compare the original and edited item text in P.O.? Here is my sample, I have PO 000001 with Item Text "Sample" and saved it. Then I edited the PO and change the Item text from "Sample" to "Testing". When I use READ_TEXT function, I will get the text "Sample". How will I get the text "Testing" during saving of PO?
Thanks in advance.

Formatted search to update item description in Purchase order document

Hello Everyone,
Has anyone developed a formated search to update the item description field on the PO or SO document? I need to change the standard Item Description based on the BP catalog number but cannot seem to get it to work. I know to change it using the screens you need to enter CTRL+TAB to move from the field without triggering a lookup process but do not know how to do this in a formatted search. Has anyone tried this?

Change item category in delivery order

Hi everyone
Issue: Can not change item category in delivery order.
Phenomenon:
1:Create purchase order and receive item based on it. complete invoice verification.
2:Use MIGO to create return delivery based on material document that is created during above process.
3:Based on system settings, (Sales org, ship-to party etc), outbound delivery is automatically created in background.
4:Try to change item category which is already determined during delivery order creation, but it is grayed out.
Can we change item category in this situation?
I have checked thread "Number of attempts to change Item Category
This looks same issue but I still do not know how to control item category in delivery order.
In material type, is there any place I can configure to allow user to change item category
in delivery order?
Please advise.

Reason for it:
When ever they want to give some free goods to customer , they are changing Item category in Standard Sales order at item level then deliverying free goods to customer

Hello,
There are two possible ways:
1. In Item Caterogy Determination remove the Manual Item Categories so that system will determine the Item Category only from defined options.
2. Use T-SHDO - create Screen Variant & make the item Category Feild as Display only.
Hope this helps..

Hi Ravikumar thanks for u quick reply.
This is wht is currently coded.
concatenate values to get item text for read text function
   invar3+0(10) = invar1. "PO number
   invar3+10(5) = invar2. "PO line number
   SELECT SINGLE * FROM stxh WHERE tdobject = 'EKPO'
                               AND tdname   = invar3
                               AND tdid     = 'F01'
                               AND tdspras = sy-langu.
   IF sy-subrc = 0.
     invar4 = invar3.
reading the text for the document items.
     CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'
       EXPORTING
         id       = 'F01'
         language = sy-langu
         name     = invar4
         object   = 'EKPO'
       TABLES
         lines    = it_itab.
I have seen some PO's which have info rec texts in that, which gets pulled by the above code...first thing is its id is F02 which exist in STXH table also there is other text with F01 id, and hence the table it_itab gets both these text hence no pbm.
but i came across a PO which has only one text which is info rec text with id F05 and is not store in stxh and hence doesnot get pulled by read_text fm. How do i change my cod to get this text which should not hamper other PO's as well.
As mentioned in above msgs, this F05 could be retrieved by providing object name as EINE.
anyhelp will be appreciated and rewarded.
thanks

You can the item category field (VBAP-PSTYV) editable , if item is configurable (item category TAC), then change item category to TAS.
by using include MV45AFZZ - FORM USEREXIT_FIELD_MODIFICATION.
when screen 4001 or 4003.
   IF VBAP-PSTYV = 'TAC'.
           SCREEN-INPUT = 0.
          MODIFY SCREEN.

Item Category in Sales Order

hi friends,
I created one sales order..here, one item category is determined and it is editable...now i want to know
1) how is the item category determined?
2) if I'm able to change the item category, what effect it will have on the document? is it allowed?
thanks,
Viren.

Pratap,
There are two parts to your answer 1) item category is determined by the
1)sales document type
2) Item Category Group
3) Higer Value Item
4) Item Usage.
The basic function of an item category is,it tells us that what product or item u have in the order for example is it a free product if yes the item category would be called TANN which is the item category for free goods.It mainly gives u a decription of the product that you have in your order. All item categories have names like TANN. TAN which are of German Origin.
The second part is item category is useful since it tells us if
1) The item should be priced
2) If certain text items are relevant for delivery.
3) It will also tell you if the item you plan to bill is the same blocked for billing.
4) It will tell you if the item is of special stock which means is it a consignment stock.
5) It will also tell u if the item is of business items, business items are those items of which business data may vary.
Thanks,
