How to sagrigate sections by item categories

Hi,
How to assign category to sections?
Also if category is assigned to section; then items of that category will directly get populated in section(web enabled)
Plz let us know.
Thanks and regards,
Ashish

After you have created the desired mappings between your leaf sections and Oracle Inventory categories, you must run the iStore Product Autoplacement Concurrent Program to populate the sections with products. You also can instruct the concurrent program to run in Replace mode, and it will update existing products as well as remove products which no longer match the category-section mappings.
Please refer to the link I provided in the previous link. It has all the details in it...

I am trying to punch item categories TAN and TAL in Standard sales order together, it has been successfully done but Li am not able to deliver them together, can any body send me a link or some documents on how to configure these two item categories together in sales document items and in deliveries . Item category TAL is returnable packaging material and is not chargeable. I don't have access to OSS notes, so SAP building blocks will be helpfull. the same problem i am facing with free of charge item category TAS
I have the following settings
or LEIH TAN = TAL +TAN
where TAN is higher category
orLEIHTAL=TAL+TAN
OrLEIH=TAlTAN
what should be the assignemnet in delivery type LF as the main problem is with delivery.
The assignments are
LF+ LEIH=TAL
LFLEIHTAL=TAL
LFLEIHTAN=TAL
where Highet item category is TAL

Hi Pr Singh,
Check the settings in T.Code <b>0184</b>.
Check if it works if we assign
LF + LEIH + PACK+ + = TAL.
Reply if it works.
Thanks

How are GL Accounts assigned with item categories in Sales Order

Please advise;
- how and where GL accounts are assigned with item categories appearing in the sales order?
Points confirmed.
regardss

We have number of sales document types and item categories. The sales order numbers are also different for hardware and software categories, so is the sales organization, plant and company code.
Usually, the hardware orders contain line items for software but the item category used is for hardware and therefore, it gets posted to the incorrect (hardware) GL account. Is this happening due to MATERIAL TYPE/CODES.
We are using separate GL accounts for both.
Where and what controls could be developed to prevent this?
Please let me know if you need further information.

How to swap between to sets of item categories in sales order

Hi,
We receive Idocs from a different system that creates sales order in the R/3 system. For some of these, we want to be able to use an alternative sourcing mode - basically switch between standard POs and 3rd Party POs. The orders has many items, and we find it impractical to manually update all items - also because the order might contain different materials with maybe 5-10 different item categories, that needs to be changed to 5-10 others. This will be very difficult for our business users, since we do not have a simple naming convention of item categories to ease this.
So we are looking for alternative ways, where we can change all items by changing on header level.
We have thought of these alternatives :
1. Change distribution channel. Requires all materials and customers to be set up in 2 DCs - not realistically.
2. Change sales order types using VOV8 alternatives. This seems not to be allowed for materials in BOMs and with E consumption. See other thread named "Can not change SO order type - disallowed by item settings" for more details.
3. What we we really need is changes on schedule line level, and I suppose we could have a logic in MV45AFZZ change this dependent on some user field. But I don't think this will work, as other settings controlled by requirement class etc. will be inconsistent.
Proposals for this are welcome - it should be a common issue.

Hi,
We ended up designing a solution where item category was swapped by shipping condition. For shipping condition 11, we simulated that a specific 'usage' was active. It required a few tricks to get the Source determination to run, and a further trick to avoid a re-pricing B to nuke the pricing conditions. This is still draft code, but it seems to work :

How to default inv mtl accnt based on the item categories for all trxns

Hi all,
There is a requirement for defaulting inventory material account based on the item categories accounts defined in the category accounts window. instead of defaulting from the inventory organization parameters.
I researched on that and found that we need to do product line accounting setups and modify the accounting client extension code ( Cost Management PDF)
Am i correct in the approach? will i succeed if we go ahead and do these?
Need your kind comments....
Regards,
Prasad

Hi,
I can think of one of the probable solution for your requirement.
Your need to create new condition table with item Category as one of the key combination. I think you need to update the item category in field catalog as well as in Doc Structures. Then maintain free goods condition record all the item categories except for the Return item category. This way you can exclude free goods activation for return items.
Note : If the number of active item categories are more then it may be difficult to maintain condition records for the item categories.
Hope this will help

Sanjay

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..

Change item categories purchasing

Hello,
I found thread 1582236 via google. It nicely explains how to get the "invoice receipt" flag out of the purchase order by default (text below). I tried to change the customizing like described via IMG path:
Materials Management>Purchasing>Define External Representation of item catagories>0/Standard
But for me this customizing for "Define External Representation of Item Categories" is all in grey. I am not able to add new items categories or to change the existing ones.
So can it be, that it is not possible to change item cats attributes ("Define External Representation of Item Categories") for purchase orders, or can someone confirm that it is changeable?
Thanks
Hi Ashish,
Basically when you talk about procurement, it is always chargeable (that means purchasing of materials or services mostly purchased at a certain price. That means when it is chargeable, defnetly there must be invoice (accounts payable to vendor) for that perticular item (that can be for material or a service) in the purchase order.
In above, case the Invoice Receipt Indicator is set (indicator set automatically) in the Invoice Tab of the Item details in the PO. And that specifies whether an invoice receipt is linked to the purchase order item.
Note: If the Invoice indicator is not set, the means goods are to be delivered free of charge.
And the above is based on the default configuration that is available in the system, but it can be customized as per your specifications, is as follows:
Steps for that configuration setup:
--> Display IMG (SPRO)
--> Materials Management
--> Purchasing
--> Define External Representation of item catagories (click it)
--> Here you can set the IR indicator depending on the type of procurement for the Item catageory (lie, std, thridparty,etc)
--> click it, by choosing the required combination of item cat(internal) : item cat(external)
and, in the control: invoice receipt
set the Invoice Receipt (this is only an indicator and it specifies that the PO item is chargeable and is to be invoiced. But it can be changeable (remove or set the flag) by user (when the item is delivered free of cost), it is just a link for PO item.
And there is one more indicator IR indicator firm.
there are TWO options:
--> firm in PO (if you set this indicator, user can not change while creating or changing the PO)
--> changeable in PO (if this indicator is set, it can be changeable if requires at the time of creation or change of PO through ME21N /ME22N)
And also
--> Display IMG (SPRO)
--> Materials Management
--> Purchasing
--> Maintain account assignment categories (click it)
And here, also you can set the same by choosing your required /specific account assignment categories combination.
Note: If you set the Invoice Receipt indicator in the CONFIGURATION (that is in Display IMG) and this will effect to the entire process for all users. So, please goahead by keeping all these things in your mind and in concern with the team.
Hope it clarifies you,
Regards,
Srin

yes I can confirm what JouLes wrote. But you can only change what I told you before.
if you can do customizing on anything else, then you should be able to do it here too, there is no authorization object for a specific IMG area or knot. either you have authorization for customizing or not.
Are you in a developement client? In production client it is not possible to do this customizing.

Changing the item categories of Sales order in web IC

Hi experts,
We are working on CRM 5.0 with Web IC
We have a scenario where we need to change the item categories of some of the items in sales order.
But in a standard sales order I cant see the item categories of line items in WebIC.
Now the issue are
1. How to make the item categories available in web ic?
2. Is there any standard config to do this or we have to go for development ?
3.Is it possible to change the itemcategories in Web IC?
Can any body suggest me with suitable solution
Points shall be rewarded for sure

Hi,
you dont change the item category at the header level. The item category will be changed at the item level and the code to do this is
lv_entity_items->set_property( EXPORTING iv_attr_name = 'ITM_TYPE' iv_value = lv_itemcat ).
here lv_entity_items is one of the entity in the collection for AdminI . lv_itemcat is the value you want your item category to be set to.
hope this helps.
Reward useful answers.

How to generate Billing Request Items in SAP CRM

Hi Folks,
We have requirements to create BRIs for Service contracts. Each BRI will create a Debit Memo Request in SAP ECC.
All Billing activities happens in ECC.
I did the following configuration:
1. Synchronization of master data (SAP CRM and SAP ECC)
2. Synchronization of pricing conditions (SAP CRM and SAP ECC)
Conditions are identical in both systems.
3. Customizing of service transactions in SAP CRM
You have set the External Billing indicator for the relevant item categories. You do this in Customizing for Customer Relationship Management, by choosing Billing Define Billing Relevance of Item Categories.
4. Customizing of controlling objects in SAP ECC
You have defined CRM controlling objects to which costs and revenue generated by external billing can be automatically assigned. You do this in Customizing, by choosingIntegration with Other SAP Components Customer Relationship Management Settings for Service Processing Controlling Integration
5. Controlling integration: Customizing: Integration with Other mySAP.com ComponentsCustomer Relationship Management Settings for Service Processing Billing Integration Map Transaction Types and Item Categories.
When i release the Contract items, I dont see any BRI created. I am not sure where should i check, if BRIs are created.
I have following questions:
1- Where to check if BRI is created for contract
2- How to generate BRI.
3- Can i debug the process of BRI creation? Is there any FM which gets called or BADI?
4. what am i missing in above config.
Any help, material will be helpful.
Regards,
Shastri.

Hi Naresh,
You need to use Billing Plans for Service Contracts Scenario to create BRI items.
In the Billing Plan - you can assign whether it is a Periodic Billing or Milestone Billing. Then you need to assign this billing plan to item categories. So based on the period (monthly,quarterly,yearly) - the BRI items will be generated.
So Please try using Billing Plans for your scenario. As you mentioned earlier, you are using ECC for all Billing purposes. So the system will create one Debit Memo Request document per Contract and it will each line item for each of the BRI's in Service Contract. System will not generate one DMR per BRI item.
You can check the BRI items generated at the item level --> Billing Plan Tab page (Assignment Block in Web UI).
Hope this helps.

Siraj

Yes you can create your own item categories.
You can add item categories in table T8G02

How to remove the Page Item in thin Bean JSP

Hi, I'm wondering how to remove the Page Item in JSP developed by BIBeans, since I have tried to remove the Presentation's Page Item in BiBeans Catalog, but with no result in JSP. Thank you!
Jeff

There are two ways to do this:
1) If you want to remove and individual dimension from a presentation, you can hide the dimension. This can be performed directly from within QueryBuilder. Within the first section of Query Builder that shows the selected measures selected and associated dimensions, simply remove the required dimensions from the right dialog panel.
2) To hide all page items within a presentation, simply add the following the property, pagingControlVisible="False", to the presentation tag in your JSP. For example:
<orabi:Presentation location="Local Computer Sales/Products/KPI Sales Prior Period and Prior Year" id="BIProductKPIs_pres2" pagingControlVisible="False"/>
Hope this helps

PO GR Defaults based on Account *** Cat and Item Categories

Hi Guys,
Using the following SPRO path it is possible to set defaults such as if GR is ticked or not, and if it can be changed in the PO based on the account assignment selected in the PO.
MM - Purchasing - Account Assignment - Maintain Account Assignment Categories
Using the following SPRO path it is possible to set similar settings based on the item category selected in the PO;
MM - Purchasing - Account Assignment - Define External Representation of item Categories.
How do these settings interact.
What happens if a combination of Acc Assignment Category and item category have conflicting settings for GR NonVal Firm
Which ones will SAP use

Hi,
   For defaulting the GR and IR indicators based on account assignment category, you may use the configuration in OME9 as shown below:
   The item category configuration is not changeable.
   If item category and account assignment category exists, the item category config has the higher priority, as of my knowledge. You may test the same.

Reply will be rewarded
Thank you so much
Umed

Dear Umed,
what so ever we configure in IMG is reflected in sales order processing like which sales document type we are using and what will be the item category for that particular sale document type.
I would like to give you an example for better understanding. suppose you have created sales document type and maintained all the entries as per the requirement of business process and you also create the Item catgory for the same and maintained item category determinatio as well. Similarly you have created delivery type and delivery item category and determination for the same. But now the question arise how the data flow from one transaction to the other transaction e.g. from sales order to delivery, delivery to billing and so on.
therefore in sum up we can say that copying control is the life blood of SD process. I think you have understand the concept.
