SRM Item Categories for Consignment, S/Contracting and STO

Hello All
We have a requirement centralize the bulk of procurement activities from ERP to SRM, but this includes making provision for Sub-Contracting, Consignment Stock and Stock Transfer Orders.
The thing is that requisitions with the Item Categories 'K', 'L' and 'U' are not made available to SRM (EBAN-EPROFILE remains blank).
Has anybody out there had a requirement for these types of procurement to be handled in SRM and, if so, what approach was followed?
Thanks for any input
Regards
Dave

Hi Dave
SAP dont support this functionality since there is no inventory stuffs handled by SRM
Only you can try enhancement but SAP will not support this functionlity if you implemented this.

http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SRM/BBP_CREATE_BE_PO_NEW-CreatePOin+backend
from thread extracted
In MAP_ITEMS (LBBP_PDMAPF01) you can find this coding:
LOOP AT i_be_items WHERE ITEM_CAT EQ c_item_cat_mat OR
ITEM_CAT EQ c_item_cat_third.
In your case, we enter this coding with the following:
i_be_items[1]-item_cat = 7 -> Stock Transfer
I would suggest that you try a modification here:
LOOP AT i_be_items WHERE ITEM_CAT EQ c_item_cat_mat OR
ITEM_CAT EQ c_item_cat_third OR
ITEM_CAT EQ 7. " Modification for Stock Transfer
if you want to create a STO w.r.t Shoping cart for a stock materials, you can do it by enhancement in classic scenario.

Copy line items from Master Agreement to SubAgreement

Dear all,
As a requirement, we need to create a dummy line item at master agreement and subagreement level to be able to publish them to ERP without need
to complete line items (they are completed in ERP via a development).
We have created master agreement templates with a dummy line item but at subagreement level, templates are not available.
What we are trying to develop is a script on post_create at agreement level to copy line items from Master Agreement to SubAgreement. We are able to get Master Agreement line items and copy them to the SubAgreement, but the subagreement is not created. This is the code we are using:
import com.sap.odp.api.doccommon.masterdata.ValueListValueIBeanHomeIfc;
import com.sap.odp.api.doccommon.masterdata.ValueListValueIBeanIfc;
import com.sap.odp.api.doccommon.masterdata.ValueListTypeIBeanHomeIfc;
import com.sap.odp.api.doccommon.masterdata.ValueListTypeIBeanIfc;
import com.sap.eso.api.contracts.ContractIBeanHomeIfc;
Mst_agreementBean = doc.getParentIBean();
lineItemCollectionSub = doc.getLineItems();
lineItemCollection = Mst_agreementBean.getLineItems();
collectionsize = lineItemCollection.size();
colln = Mst_agreementBean.getCollectionMetadata("MA_LINEITEMS").get(Mst_agreementBean);
colln2 = doc.getCollectionMetadata("MA_LINEITEMS").get(doc)
newProject = Mst_agreementBean.getIBeanHomeIfc().createFromAnother(Mst_agreementBean);
newMember = colln.get(1);
// Get Values Line Item
assCat = newMember.getAcctAssignCategory();
actLimP         = newMember.getActualLimitPercent();
delAdCity       = newMember.getDeliveryAddressCity();
delAdCount    = newMember.getDeliveryAddressCountryRef();
delAdDist       = newMember.getDeliveryAddressDistrict();
//... (all fields included in the script)
// Create Line
newMember2 = newMember;
AgreementHome = IBeanHomeLocator.lookup(session, doc.getObjectReference());
AgreementHome.upgradeToEdit(doc);
// Set Values
newMember2.setAcctAssignCategory(assCat);
newMember2.setActualLimitPercent(actLimP);
newMember2.setDeliveryAddressCity(delAdCity);
newMember2.setDeliveryAddressCountryRef(delAdCount);
newMember2.setDeliveryAddressDistrict(delAdDist);
//... (all fields included in the script)
try{
colln2.add(newMember2);
AgreementHome.save(doc);
AgreementHome.downgradeToView(doc);
collectionbean = colln2.get(0);
logInfo("Value of collectionbeanSub " + collectionbean );
}catch (ApplicationException e){
logInfo("Error " + e.getClass() + ". " + e.getMessage());
When we try to create an Agreement under a Master Agreement (clicking Add on Agreement tab), following error message is shown related to the line in blue:
Facility=local4;sessionid=4e73bb8e73304d6284816f93f4e04522a7c387b; tenantid=#tenant.ecb#;username=LUGUELL; exception=Sourced file: inline evaluation of: ``// **   import com.sap.odp.api.doccommon.masterdata.ValueListValueIBeanHomeI ...

Any ideas what is causing the error? What are we missing on our code to copy line items?

We managed to create a line item at VALIDATE script, but not at POST_CREATE. Either it is a bug or it is not possible at POST_CREATE script.

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.

Item Categories

Hi All
SAP Item category there is a field called Billing Relevance--ABCDEF......V
please explain me the functionality of each alphabet,
thanks
regards

Relevant for Billing:
Indicates what the basis for billing should be.
A: Delivery-related billing document
Billing is based on the outbound delivery. Billing status is only updated in the outbound delivery.
B: Relevant for order-related billing - status according to order quantity
Billing is based on the sales document. The requested delivery quantity determines the billing status.
Item categories REN (Returns) and BVN (Cash sales items) are set up with billing relevance "B" in the standard system.
C: Relevant for order-related billing - status according to target quantity
Billing is based on the sales document. The target quantity determines the billing status.
Item categories G2N (Credit memo) and L2N (Debit memo) are set up with billing relevance "C" in the standard system.
D: Relevant for pro forma
The billing relevance indicator must contain a value (not be blank) in order to be able to create pro forma invoices. Indicator "D" can also be used as follows for cross-company-code business processing:
In the case of a free-of-charge outbound delivery, the company code that is responsible for the delivery should be granted an internal settlement.
You can use indicator "D" to record free-of-charge outbound deliveries and grant internal settlements to the relevant company code.
F: Order-related billing doc. - status according to invoice quantity
Relevant for order-related billing documents based on the invoice receipt quantity (third-party business transaction). The system transfers the order into the billing due list only after the vendor invoice has been received and processed in the purchasing department. After the receipt of each invoice, a customer invoice is created for the quantity that appears on the vendor invoice. The order has status "Billed" until the next vendor invoice is received.
Item category TAS (Third party item) is set up with billing relevance "F" in the standard system.
This process can also be related to the quantity of goods receipt.
You can make the control setting as to whether the invoice receipt quantity or the goods receipt quantity should be relevant for billing in the copy control for billing on the item level in the billing quantity field. (In Customizing, choose Sales and Distribution -> Billing -> Billing documents -> Maintain Copying Control for Billing Documents -> Copying Control: Delivery to Billing Document -> Item, then select an item category.)
G: Order-related billing of the delivery quantity
The order is relevant for billing. More specifically, the cumulated delivery quantity that was already delivered is relevant for billing. You can use this category to bill for multiple partial deliveries at once.
H: Delivery-related billing - no zero quantities
You can use this category to avoid items with a value of zero being included in the billing document.
I: Order-relevant billing - billing plan
Billing occurs by way of the billing plan and its status. The status of the order item is seen as the sum of the billing plan status and the billing status.
Item categories WVN (Maint. Contract Item), MVN (Lease item) and TAO (Milestone billing) are set up with billing relevance "I" in the standard system.
J: Relevant for deliveries across EU countries
The outbound delivery is only relevant for billing if:
1. The Plants abroad active field is selected (found in Customizing under Financial Accounting -> Financial Accounting Global Settings -> Tax on Sales/Purchases -> Basic Settings -> Plants Abroad -> Activate Plants Abroad)
2. Country of departure (country where the plant is located) and destination country (country where the ship-to party is located) are different EU countries.
Item categories KBN (Consignment fill-up), KAN (Consignment Pick-up) and NLN (Standard Stock Transfer Item) are set up with billing relevance "J" in the standard system.
K: Delivery-related invoices for partial quantity
You can use this indicator if you want to select both items and partial quantities for billing.
Q: Relevant for delivery-related CRM billing
You can use this indicator if you use CRM billing to invoice the items delivered and goods-issue-posted in the R/3 OLTP system.

Item category for delivery and order related billing.

Hi All,
I have am faceing one problem in QEC. My client having delivery related billing and order related billing. For we have maintain only one billling document(order related and delivery related).
I have a item category in the sales order Zo09 for this item category system allowing the user to create both billing documents(order and delivery related) Please advise how i can stop the users to create delivery related and order related.
but we have configured delivery related eventhough system allowing to create both billing documents.
Please do needful.
Thanks,

Hi
My client having delivery related billing and order related billing. For we have maintain only one billling document (order related and delivery related).
What is the meaning of this statement ?
Say in a single order or order type say OR there can be two materials with different item categories say TAN and ZTAN and
TAN with billing relevance as A( delivery related billing) and ZTAN with billing relevance as B (order related billing )
If that happens the billing will be split
In VOV8 we mention for OR the order related billing as F1 and delivery related billing as F2 in the billing tab
Now in billing TAN will pick F2 as it is delivery related billing
and
ZTAN will pick F1 as it is order related billing
Suppose in your sales doc type if you have mentioned both as F2 then also there will a billing split in billing there will be two F2 invoices TAN will pick one F2 invoice and ZTAN will pick another F2 invoice and this is a wrong way of doing things
I have a item category in the sales order Zo09 for this item category system allowing the user to create both billing documents(order and delivery related) Please advise how i can stop the users to create delivery related and order related
How can one item category can pick both order related and delivery related billing?
Not at all possible in SAP as we can mention only one control in the billing relevance field in item cat
Your issue needs more clarity about your problem for suggesting some suitable help

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).

Use of cost relevant Item categories L2N and G2N for debit and credit memo

Dear Forum memebers,
For credit and debit memo one of the customised client repot is showing cost value which is not expected for credit and debit memo in the invoice register.
This is due to use of L2N and G2N which are cost relevant item categories.
Why should debit and credit memo item category should be cost relevant.??
Best Regards,
Kanwal

Well if your company do not want to adjust the cost of goods sold when any credit / debit is raised, then yes you can go ahead.

Framework orders and item categories

In looking at framework orders it would seem there are 2 item categories that would be valuable for my client, B and D. In reviewing the configuration, I see the following differences.
Item cat. B
Material Required - Not Allowed
Addit.Acct Assignment - Mandatory
Inventory Management - Not Allowed
GR indicator firm - Changeable in PO
Invoice Receipt - PO Item Linked
IR indicator - Firmed in PO
Item cat. D
Material Required - Not Allowed
Addit.Acct Assignment - Mandatory
Inventory Management - Possible
GR - PO Item Linked
GR indicator firm - Changeable in PO
Invoice Receipt - PO Item Linked
IR indicator - Firmed in PO
What other differences are there between the two item categories? I heard that one would default the quantity to 1 and removes the GR... Can anyone validate this?
Also, I noticed when using a framework order, the validity date is not being checked where the system is allowing invoicing to occur past the validity date. Is there some place in configuration that we can have this tolerance checked? Please give details.
Thank you.
Nguyen
Edited by: SCM Supply Chain Management on Sep 5, 2008 7:36 PM

Hi,
In case of Item Category B, there is not GR in this case. And in case of Item Category D, you have to create Service Entry Sheet (it is must), which creates a GR document in the background.
Refer Following links for the above;

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.

Order type, Invoice type and Item categories for Nota Fiscal Brazil

Hi eveyone,
we have a company in Brazil implemented in SAP using a different SD Order type, Invoice Type and Item categories
as our mother company in Switzerland. Reason of that is because of the nota fiscal customization for Brazilian legal requirements.
We startet with a Project worldwide to rollout a global template within sales and distribution and are facing now exactly
the problem with those different order type, item categories and Invoice type.
Our local SAP partner in Brazil told as based on best practise we should have different types.
I checked the customization and it seems I can't use e.g.: the same Order type for Brazil and Switzerland because
the activation flag for nota fiscal is linked to the order type and no sales organization can be setted to slplitt the different processes.
Someone knows if there are some possibilities (maybe trough user exits or badi's) to use globally the same dovument types, item categoreis... globally?
Thanks in advance
Gaspare Guttadauro

Hi Gaspare Guttadauro,
I would strongly recommend to use the different document types and item categories as suggested by SAP. Since Brazil do have one of the complex taxation process in place hence to determine correct pricing the different document type will be required. Also functionalities like CFOP determination and nota fiscal relevance can be maintained.
Please feel free to revert the forum in case of any doubts.
Cheers
Atul

L2N and G2N item categories (Determine Cost checkbox)

Hello,
The SAP standard setting for the L2N and G2N item categories is: Determine Cost = 'X'.
This causes the VPRS condition type to be pulled into the credit/debit memo request.
We don't want that and therefore we are planning on deselecting that checkbox in config.
I hesitate to change SAP standard config though.
Is there anything I am missing?
Will deselecting that 'Determine Cost' checkbox for L2N and G2N cause any problems?
Any insght appreciated.
Thanks,
Anisha.

Well if your company do not want to adjust the cost of goods sold when any credit / debit is raised, then yes you can go ahead.

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
