Item categories descriptive flexfield

Hi,
I want to change item categories descriptive flexfield on production system and add two more segments.
Should I do it after no user would be working on inventory or there would be no problem in adding or chnaging descriptive flexfield in live systen?
/Z

There is always a small chance that a user who happens to be updating the category may get an error if you do it during day-time.
So try it in off-hours.
You said "descriptive" but I assume you mean the "key" flexfield for categories.
If you add 2 segments, it is important that you update existing categories and make sure they are valid with the new structure.
Also, if those old categories were used in Purchasing, you may get errors.

How to disable programmatically an item in a Descriptive flexfield

Hi friends,
doy you know How to disable programmatically an item in a Descriptive flexfield using CUSTOM.pll?
The problem is that I need to do it under the WHEN-NEW-RECORD-INSTANCE event, and the item (based in an attribute column of a database table) hasn't a canvas asociated at that moment....
Do you have any example?
Thanks,
Jose.

Hi Prashant,
mmm yes, for now there are two fields it he DFF window.. but in a future .. may be more..
I've found a function:
fnd_flex_key_api.enable_column that may be properly for that, but I don't know what to pass in the the first parameter (flexfield IN flexfield_type)...
I mean: I suppose is the "name" for my DFF but.. how can I get it?
Thanks,
jose.

FNDLOAD for Descriptive Flexfield update

Hey everyone,
Just wanted to consult you on a matter,
I've updated a descriptive flexfield definition (moved some of the segments from GLOBAL to a new context I created = I deleted from global, that freed the attributes again, and then I defined them under a new context field for that DFF).
Now - to move that setup to another instance, I download and uploaded DFF via FNDLOAD.
At first - update was not successful due to the fact that attributes used in new context were occupied by global.
So -
my idea was to just delete ALL DFF definitions in new instance, and then use FNDLOAD to upload.
Turned out ok, and update seems successful.
I just fear deleting DFF definitions completely might harm something and I feel I might be missing something here.
(After all, if it should be OK, why doesn't FNDLOAD delete old definition during update process and then create the new definition , like it does with personalizations??)
Would love to hear your ideas before I do the same on production instances...
Thanks,
Aaron

Aaron,
I believe you should not delete a DFF, instead you will have to disable it.
Note: 176867.1 - Oracle Applications Flexfields Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) -- 5. Can I delete a descriptive flexfield?
https://metalink2.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=176867.1
Did you try to use UPLOAD_MODE=REPLACE? This option will replace your current values with the values you have in the file.
If you want to upload any new items in the file that do not currently exist in your database, use "CUSTOM_MODE=FORCE" option.

No concatenated descriptive flexfield value to validate.

After adding another Descriptive Flexfield, pointing to ATTRIBUTE19 in GL JE LINES ('Enter Journals:Lines'), the ADI Templates are giving me Warnings as 'No concatenated descriptive flexfield value to validate.', with a YELLOW face on all the ADI rows.
It never gave any kind of Warning before these changes (Adding / Enabling ATTRIBUTE19 length 50 in the Descriptive Flex field of GL Lines ).
Users are not happy with these messages.
Please advice me why am I getting the error and what I can do to fix this Warning.
Thank you so much,
Kiran Kesari

Hi Nel,
use a Pair type value set to achieve this. This value set should be attached to both the DFF Item Low and DFF Item High DFF attributes.
You can refer to seeded value set CST_SRS_ITEM_PAIR.
For this Pair value set the functions are define dlike this:
Event: Edit
Function
FND POPIDR CODE="MSTK" APPL_SHORT_NAME="INV"
VALIDATE="NONE" SEG=:!VALUE NAVIGATE="!DIR" REQUIRED="N"
ALLOWNULLS="Y"
Event: Validate
Function
FND VALIDR CODE="MSTK" APPL_SHORT_NAME="INV"
VALIDATE="NONE" SEG=:!VALUE REQUIRED="N" ALLOWNULLS="Y"
Hope this helps!

Header of a Descriptive Flexfield

Hi all,
I've created a descriptive flex in my page but the text I set in Prompt property doesn't appear in runtime. The user wants to have a header saying "Additional Shipment Information" before their custom attributes. Do I have to create a header region explicitly and put my flex item inside it in order to get this result or there is an option or property missing??
The problem of create explicitly a header region is that it would appear even is the user disable the flex.
Thanks in advance,
Eduardo

I put this in my processRequest. I need to hide the header when the descriptive flexfield is disabled but the dffBean.isRendered() call always returns true.
OADescriptiveFlexBean dffBean = (OADescriptiveFlexBean)webBean.findIndexedChildRecursive("ShipHdrDescFlex");
if(dffBean != null && !dffBean.isRendered()) {
OAHeaderBean flexHdr = (OAHeaderBean)webBean.findIndexedChildRecursive("FlexHdrRN");
if(flexHdr != null) {
flexHdr.setRendered(false);
tks.

Difference between Item categories M and W

What is the difference between the Item Categories ' M ' and ' W ' ?. When & where these item categories are used?

HI,
The item categories M and W are intended for the entry of contract items without
specification of the material number.
Item category M
Recommended for similar materials of the same price. These can be materials with
different material numbers or materials without material master records.
You have set up a contract with your vendor covering various types of writing
paper (lined, squared, blank, two-/four-hole prepunched, etc.). The different types
of paper have the same weight, the same quality, and the same price.
When entering this contract item of category M, you enter the short description,
material group, target quantity, unit of measure, and price, but no material number.
The short description must then be entered in the contract release order (for
example, lined, two-hole prepunched).
You also have the option of releasing materials with a material master record
against this contract item in the release order, provided that the material group and
purchase order unit of measure agree.
Item category W
Recommended for materials belonging to the same material group but with
different prices. Item category W can only be used in value contracts.
You have set up a contract with your vendor for various types of cable. The
contract is to cover all types of cable included in the vendor's price list. However,
the exact type is only determined when a purchase order is created for a certain
cable. Instead of creating one contract item for each type of cable in the vendor's
assortment, you could enter item category W and the appropriate material group
(for example, cable). From the short text, it would then be clear that the contract
item covers all types of cable supplied by the vendor in question. Each release
order issued against this contract would then contain the exact specification of
cable type and quantity (for example, double-shielded coax, 1 meter), and price.
When entering the contract item, you enter only the short text and the material
group. You do not enter the target quantity or price. It is possible to enter
additional conditions. For example, you can enter a discount in the header
conditions if the vendor grants a discount on all POs referencing the contract. The
discount is calculated automatically when a contract release order is created.
The price, the target quantity, and the material number are not specified until you
create a release order. The relevant material master record must be assigned to
the same material group as the contract item referenced. If the contract release
order does not contain a material number, it must have a valid account assignment
(such as a cost center).

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 :

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.

Item categories for Free of charge items

Hi Gururs,
In the standard SAP the Item categories AFNN,AGNN and TANN are defined. Can the free goods be determined in Inquiry and Quotation(in any sales document with document category other than C-i.e.Order). If not possible, then what is the purpose of defining AFNN and AGNN.
Thanks in advance
Ravi

Hi Sankar,
I can confirm that a free goods determination cannot be enabled for any sales document category other than C. In some of the OSS notes, it is clearly stated that free goods is meant only for sales document category C.
However the purpose of AGNN, and AFNN are not known. When i checked the configuration, these 2 ICs have configuration which are different from TANN in some of the aspects, especially the pricing field, that itself says that AGNN and AFNN are not meant for Free goods.
However, I will confirm on the purpose of these ICs in sometime, as I am exploring that.
YOU CAN READ THE OSS NOTE 549505 ON FREE GOODS, WHICH CONFIRMS THIS. IF YOU WANT THE NOTES, LEMME KNOW UR EMAIL ID.
Reward if this helps.

Swap between two different item categories in sales orders for sub-contracting

Dear gurus,
my requirement is to have the ability to swap between two different item categories for sales orders for sub-contracting.
This should be controlled by a combination of the material and a value maintained the Usage field in the Customer Material Info Record (for example by entering a ‘V’). A combination of Sales Doc Type, Item Cat Group and Usage should result in the creation of a purchase requisition.
In the event that a process order is required instead of a purchase requisition (i.e. the product is to be manufactured in-house instead of sub-contracted) the user must have the ability to change the Item Category within the sales order to produce a process order.
The user would just change the item category within the sales order, and the system would automatically remove the purchase requisition assigned to the SO, and create a process order and assign it to the SO.
Can you suggest any possible solution?
Thank you in advance.

Hi Majlo,
In my system, I checked. First created sales order with third party line item and then changed item category to normal item category.
Till Purchase order not created, I can change Item category of my sales order line item.
In this case SAP inform by log and once save delete purchase requisition of that line item .
For this you need to assign another item category as an manual item category in SPRO Item category assignment.
After this user can manually change item category to other one manually, if PO do not exist.
Please let me know if your query is different.
Regards

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
Regards,
Madhu

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.

S Sarma.
