Is it possible to change Item Category of BOM component

Hi,
We are in the process of implementing Guided Structure Synchronization (GSS). GSS helps in Syncing Source BOM (Engineering BOM) to Target BOM(Manufacturing BOM).
During the creation of EBOM, designer may not have complete information about the Item category, So by default it is set as "L"(Stock Item). When MBOM is created, It should have correct Item category. Using GSS, while synching operation from EBOM to MBOM, Item category is also copied and it is not allowed to change.
Is there any way to change the Item category before Sync operation in GSS.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Omprakash ,
BADI used is /PLMB/GSS_FIELDCONTROL .
    Conflict is created based on Postion type. SAP recognizes this conflict and gives conflict in Reconsliation workbench.
    When user solves this conflict , BADI /PLMB/GSS_ACTION for our customer defined Action.
     In this Implementation , Target Vertex would be deleted and New Vertex is created.
    Key Mappings has to be adjusted with new Vertex.
   I have seen some side effects of this Solution. I am trying to solve them.
Thanking you,

Change item category of BOM component

Hi,
Our user wanted to change the item category for BOM components through transaction IB12 using LSMW.Wanted to confirm whether it is possible to change item categoryof BOM component from "N" to "L" through LSMW.What exactly will be effected because of this change?And the steps to change the item category from "N" to "L" for the list of BOM component using LSMW.
Request your valuable thoughts.
Thank you in advance,
Regards,
Rubina Rahman

Hi Rubina,
N is non stock item
L is stock item
You have to make sure why the business warants to chnage the item category.
To answer the question:
It is possible to chnage the item category from "N" to "L" through LSMW (Provided depends on the number of components used in a BOM. If the number of items exceeds to multiple screen, then you have to think of developing BDC)
The effect will be: with item category "N" if the material is used in the order, based on the configuration the system shall automatically trigger the purchase requisition. With item category "L" it is assumed as stock is available and taken care by MRP program.
Suppose if it is material BOM:
          A. Use T.code: CS02 in LSMW recording
          B. Provide information like Material number, Plant, BOM usage
          C. In the item level change the item category from N to L
          D. Save the recording
          E. I hope you know the remaining LSMW process steps
Cheers,
Raj

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.

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.

Dependencies on "Ku0094 item category on BOM

Hi
I need a configurable material where BOM components have to be chosen from characteristic values, so I thought I could use 200 class on BOM to make it easier, but I need to control component quantity and component measure unit too.
I had tried to change those data from BOM adding a procedure on the K item category on BOM, but I hadnt had success, I dont know if its not possible to put that kind of dependencies on K items .
Is that possible?, I havent any problem if item category is L (using selection conditions instead 200 class type and K item categories), system works properly.
Thanks!
Carlos.

Go to SE11 type your table LIPS, enter and then press Ctl + Shift + F10, it will take you to selection screen,
in that you can type the desired item cat in the field PSTYV.
here is your report of Del doc no according to item cat.

Unable to change item category in Create SA with ref to contract

We have a centralised subcontracting contract (item category "L") in place for a material. The requirement is to create a scheduling agreement with reference to this contract line item item category "Blank" (Standard).
But the item category field is greyed out (display only) when we try to create scheduling agreement with refernce to contract on the "Adopt + Details" screen. And we are not able to change the item category "L" to "Blank". Is there a way we can make this item category field editable on this screen before we hit "Adopt + Details".
I have tried most of the field selection configuration, but there is no specific field selection group for this screen.
Please note that the system allows you to change the item category when you create a PO with reference to this contract.

Thanks Manu for your suggestion!
But this is the process that we need to map. Request others to respond if they have comes across such a requirement and able to address it.
Again I want to make a note here that if it is possible on POs, there should be a way to make it work for SAs.

Changing item category in sales order

Hi,
For some of the materials in the sales order, the item category is grayed out and I cannot change it.
I can access the drop down menu and see the various item categories assigned to the item category group.
How can I change the item category for these materials in the sales order?
Sincerely,
Ketan

hi.
Ketan
As u r saying that you can take drop down of the assign item catagory there then only one possibility is left that u have deliver some of the qty from the order. So system is not allowing u to change item catagory.
Please check have u made any delivery from that sales order.
if yes then u can not change item catagory.
Hope this will help you.
Thx.

Change item category in a PO

Hi experts,
I'm would like to change the item category (from L to empty or vice versa) while creating a PO in reference to a PR (the PR has been created through a project, CJ20N).
But I'm always getting the error message "Requisition has different doc. type NB and item cat. >L<u201D.
I had a look to "Spro/Material Management/Purchasing/Purchase Requisition/Define document types" but I couldn't solve the problem.
Could you give some advises?
Thanjs

Hi, you are probably right that I mixed account assignment category and item category, not the first time that I mix these two indicators.
In old PO transactions is not possible to change the item category, but with the new transactions like ME21N it is possible.
Please have a look into OSS Note 26027 - Converting PReq into purchase order: Dialog indic.
Maybe you have the same wrong entry in the customizing table as described in this note.

Dear Lakshmipathy,
I have tried the option you have suggested but was unable t o make any progress. I have done the following steps:
In VKOA I have done the revenue account determination based on Acct Assign Grp: Customer, Acct. Assign Grp: Material, and Item Category. Despite this the correct G/L accounts are not being picked up. Can you please suggest where I may be going wrong.
The scenario is as follows for all Item categories except ZTNN::
If Customer and Material are taxable @ 5%VAT then pick G/L1
If Customer and Material are taxable @ 15% VAT then pick G/L 2
If Customer and Material are taxable @ 2% CST then pick G/L 3
If Customer and Material are taxable @ 5% CST then pick G/L 4
If Customer and Material are taxable @ 15% CST then pick G/L 5
For Item Category ZTNN:
If Customer and Material are taxable @ 5%VAT then pick G/L6
If Customer and Material are taxable @ 15% VAT then pick G/L 6
If Customer and Material are taxable @ 2% CST then pick G/L 6
If Customer and Material are taxable @ 5% CST then pick G/L 6
If Customer and Material are taxable @ 15% CST then pick G/L 6
Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,

Urgent - How to change Item category for Open Purchase Order

Hi Team,
Lil bit tricky issue.
My client has asked us to change the existing Item Category values, Combinations, Category Set etc. Its been changed and uploaded successfully.
The question here is how we need to handle the category for Open Purchase Order. How to update the same.
Do we need to do manually or any other way ?
Please advice
Regarads,
John

Hi John,
This is reallly a tricky issue!
I guess you cannot change the category of an existing PO's.
This field will be greyed out once we save the form...there were no profiles/other setups to enable this field.
For all new PO's since you have changed the new category value that should not be a issue.
Lets wait for some of our colleuges opinion.
I guess PO cancel should be the final option if we dont hear any new work arounds.
Thanks

Want to change item category at the time of order creation

Hi Gurus,
Client require to implement individual PO scenario.
I was configured the same and working fine.
I am facing problem at the time of item category determination.
User using same material and order type and they are not ready to accept to create new order type.
Now My order type is OR and item category group is NORM and right now system determine item category TAN.
User not want to change manually at the time of order creation.
I have specific condition on which i want to apply this logic.
Now i want to determine TAB item category through some user exits or enhancement.
Can anyone suggest exact in which user exit or enhancement i have to change.
Thanks & Regards,
Chirag

1. Use TCode 0VVW for creating a Z Item Usage, say, ZPO1
2. Do an item Cat determination in VOV4, as
Sales Doc type
Item Cat Group
Usage
Item Category
OR -
NORM -
ZPO1 -
TAB
3. Maintain Customer Materials Info Record by using VD51.
In item screen for Cust-Mat combination maintain Item usage

Issue while changing Item Category during Sales Order Creation

Hi,
Requirement:
Requirement is to change the item category of Sales Order item while creating the sales order.
Rule is: If item category is IRAT then it should be changed to IRLN.
For this, I am using the user exit "USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT_PREPARE" available in the include MV45AFZZ.
Issue:
Using the above mentioned exit, Item category is getting changed to the desired value in the created sales order BUT value of Billing Status (VBUP-FKSAA) which is supposed to get changed is blank.
For example, Sales order is created from VA01 and item category is changed manually to the value mentioned above, then for the sales order created we have VBUP-FKSAA = 'A'. But when value of Item category is not changed manually and it is changed from the exit, then value of VBUP-FKSAA is blank.
I have to find a solution which would change the value of Billing Status according to the change in the value of Item Category.
Please suggest a relevant solution.
Thanks a lot for responding.
Abhinav.

Hi Abhinav,
