Item category change in contract load of CRM

Hi Guys,
i am loading contracts into CRM-intellectual property Management. i have to create 2 to 3 line items for same product in one contract with higher level items. generally item category is determined and can be changed via GUI. my requirement is i want to change item category through FM CRM_ORDER_MAINTAIN by the time it creates contract but item category is not changing, showing what ever was determined.
i am passing item_type in ORDERADM_I and passing item_type field name for input fields but it is not helping me. Please let me know if any body has any clue..
Thanks for your help
Siva

Do you want to change the item category just before order (contract) save? Or after the save? Try looking at crm_orderadm_i_badi.
Another idea ... try manually changing the item category in CRM Online, BUT .. do a /h and place a breakpoint at ABAP statement "call function CRM_ORDER_MAINTAIN". This way you can see the input parameters for CRM_ORDER_MAINTAIN when CRM itself is changing the item category, the correct way. Then from these input parameters you can get the hint of what parameters must be passed to CRM_ORDER_MAINTAIN to change the item category by a direct call. I hope that made sense....
Hope it helps,
Rahul

Item category change issue

Hi,
We have implemented scenario A settings for return orders to exchange and edit in both ECC and CRM systems. We are having a scenario where item category for an item in return order will be changed to the other in ECC system. In our case we have the status profile assigned to the item category which was initial and we dont have any status profile for the item category which is changed to in both ECC and CRM systems. We are gtting errors in CRM and the document is locked when the item category is changed in ECC and saved. The error is 'The status procedure could not be set from item category XXX'. Can you please suggest how can we fix this issue?
Thanks,

Item Category Determination Error - R/3 to CRM

Experts,
A quick requirement and am really counting on you all for assistance.
I have replicated a quote from R/3 to CRM. I have done the item category determination. The business uses BOM items in R/3. The item category group is LUMR and the item category is TAP. Now, when I replicated the quotation to CRM and accessed the same in CRM, I see an error saying "the item category TAP is not permitted for product XXXXXX".
I already have the following entry in customising in the item category determination:
Txn Type
XXXX
Item categorygroup
NORM
MainItemCategory
TAP
Item Category
ZAGN
Full points will be awarded for the soluion.

Hello Robert,
Firstly thanks for the time taken to reply to my question. I got the below error for the Item but not the subitem.
the item category TAP is not permitted for product XXXXXX" on item
I have a product in ECC and the name of the product is "Section A". This is the main item name and all other line items come under the main item by the name "Section A". For this product, the item category in ECC is TAP. When it comes to item category determination, the following entries are maintained on both ECC and CRM side.
Since TAP is the main item,I maintained the following entry on ECC and CRM:
Txn Type
XXXX
Item categorygroup
LUMR
Item Category
TAP
Apart from the above entry, the following entry is also maintained on both ECC and CRM side.
Txn Type
XXXX
Item category group
Norm
Main Item Category
TAP
Item Category
ZAGN
Have i missed something here Robert?
Kindly confirm.

Return Sales order - update of Item category change

Hi
We are creating the Return Sales order with respective original sales order.
After copying the line item details in to return sales order, we are not able to change item category to another. Since item category is in display mode(grayed out).
We tried with
1.Transaction varant, it is not helpful.
2.Maintained the item category which is required in item category determination(Manual entries)
Though we are able to change the item catgory in the sales order through some user exit, price condition are in active status. we are doing price update, but still condition types are still in-active.
Please help, how to change the item cateogry and to redetermine the price based on the item category in sales order.
Thanks & Regards,
Rajesh.

Then how do you settle it with the customer? He has still paid for the original materials and has returned some or all of them. He is still going to be invoiced for the full quantity. There should be some way to either replace the materials or give him a credit memo
but coming to Gunda's query, the only way I see to map this is to create a different order type ZRE which is a copy of RE and item category ZREN which is a copy of REN. In ZREN, turn on Pricing. Maintain copy controls from OR to ZRE and keep the pricing condition type Manual. Then whenever the business decides not to give the customer a refund, go to the item conditions, set the pricing condition value to 0 and save the order

Item Category Change using UserExit/Enhancement

Hi,
Require your valuable inputs on the below requirement:
We have a requirement where we have to determine the Shipping Point, Plant, Storage Location and Item category from a Custom table using header Shipping Conditions.
As per the SAP standard, Shipping point and default item category are determining in Order. Currently, we will only use NORM as Gen item category group in all the material masters.
We have maintained the Custom Table with the below fields:
Sales Document Type
Sales document item category
Sales Organization
Distribution Channel
Division
Shipping Conditions
Shipping Point/Receiving Point
Plant
Storage Location
Based upon the fields we have to determine the above in the Sales Order in Create and Change and further processing.
We have already use the User Exit: MV45AFZZ, but there is inconsistency in updation of billing etc., Profitability segment, PR Etc.., we also tried with MV45AFZB, this User Exit is not getting triggered from Header level because we want to update the ItCat, ShpCon, Plant,S.Loc & Shpnt from the shipping conditions in custom table.
Please suggest me in which User Exit/Enhancement trigger point to determine the above and subsequent process should follow as per the standard process and not to deviate with other tables.
Looking for your valuable inputs on these. We were totally struck in providing this solution.
Regards,
Kumar

Dear MoazzaM,
Using the Exit: MV45AFZZ, in Routine: USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_VBAK, we have triggered our custom code to change the Item Category, Plant, Storage Location and Shipping Point. It is working fine at the Sales Order level.
But we found these are partially not updated properly
1) There is a Inconsistency in Creation of the Purchase Requisiton, where for the Individual PO, the    Storage Location remains the old one.
2) When we create the PO from the
2) In billing, at the item level, the plant and shipping point is also wrong which is not the source one from sales order and delivery, but the delivery details are correct
3) In accounting doc also, the plant is wrong.
Below is the piece of Code:
IMPORT gv_vsbed FROM MEMORY ID 'VSBED'.
IF gv_vsbed IS NOT INITIAL.
      SELECT SINGLE * FROM *Custom Table*
                INTO gs_shippoint
                WHERE auart = xvbak-auart
                AND   vkorg = xvbak-vkorg
                AND   vtweg = xvbak-vtweg
                AND   spart = xvbak-spart
                AND   vsbed = xvbak-vsbed.
IF gv_vsbed NE xvbak-vsbed.
      LOOP AT xvbap INTO lwa_xvbap.
        idx = sy-tabix.
        IF xvbak-vsbed IS NOT INITIAL.
          IF NOT gs_shippoint IS INITIAL AND
             lwa_xvbap-pstyv NE gs_shippoint-pstyv.
*** Update the Item category , plant, storage location and Shipping/Receiving point.
            lwa_xvbap-pstyv = gs_shippoint-pstyv.
            lwa_xvbap-werks = gs_shippoint-werks.
            lwa_xvbap-lgort = gs_shippoint-lgort.
            lwa_xvbap-vstel = gs_shippoint-vstel.
            MODIFY xvbap INDEX idx FROM lwa_xvbap.
            UPDATE vbap FROM TABLE xvbap.
Any Suggestions

Automatic Item category change

Dear Gurus,
How can the below be achieved?
We want the item category of a line item be automatically changed to TAS after ATP check (no stock available condition) when saving the sales order in order to create a Purchase requisition.
Customer is not willing to check the stock and manually create a item category.
Thank You
Regards
Kumar

Hi
It was my post which got posted multiple times. I didn't comment about your post.
Your requirement can be achieved. You have to do the required coding in the userexit. Please consult your ABAPer and explain the requirement. The system should check the confirmed quantity in the first schedule line and if it is zero, then the item category should be changed to TAS. If there is some quantity, that quantity should be checked with the line item quantity and if it is not equal, then create a second line item with the balance quantity and the item category for this line item should be TAS. This is just an outlook.
Thanks,
Ravi

Sales contract item category configuration

Hi,
What is the standard item category available in SAP CRM for sales contract.
What is the significance of Transaction category in Item category. I have configured BUS2000135- CRM Quantity/Value contract item for a z item category. It doesn't allow to add a partner determination which is configured for BUS2000121 Sales contract.

Hi
I just checked an item category of type BUS2000135 and it contains a field for the partner procedure in the IMG. Can you double check it? If the you can't find the field please add a screen shot of the IMG to your answer.

Item category is not determined in CRM order

Hi Friends,
Our requirement is as follows
We have 1 sales org like Z111 and 2 distribution channels like dist chan Z1 and Z2, we want a material say for eg "material A" should be 3rd party item by assigning item category grp "BANS" in sales org Z111 and dist chan Z1. The same material i.e, "material A" should be standard item by assigning "NORM" in sales org Z111 and dist chan Z2.
We have done the above scnario in CRM system ( we have assigned BANS for material A in sales org Z111 and dist chan Z1 and NORM for the same material in sales org Z111 and dist chan Z2.
But problem is when I create order for sales org Z111 and dist chan Z1 in CRM, the item category is determined as TAN instead TAS. Item category determination is already existing the CRM system.
This scenario is working fine in my back end system i.e, R/3 but it is not wrking in CRM.
Can anyone give me some clue about this.
Thanks in advance
JM

Hi JM
First check in your CRM system if the material in extended to both the distribution channels.
Tcode: COMMPR01
Sale org tab should have entry for dist chan Z1 and Z2.
Click on Z1 and maintain iten cat grp : BANS
Click on Z2 and maintain iten cat grp : NORM
Now check your item category determination. It should have following 2 entries:
IMG > CRM > transactions > basic settings > define item category determination
transaction type: ZORD
item category group: BANS
item category: TAS
transaction type: ZORD
item category group: NORM
item category: TAN
hope this helps

Replicating materials. Item category group is empty.

I am loading material from R/3 to product in the CRM.
I am use BDOC MATERIAL.
I see that field 'Item category group' in the product in CRM is empty, but material in the R/3 system is filled.
Anybody ideas?

Hi Denis,
Make sure the required item category groups are manually entered in the CRM table CRMV_ITEM_CAT_GR. If a specific item category group is missing in this table, then during the material download this field remain empty.
Maintain the required entry and then download the MATERIAL again
Do not forget to reward if helps

Item Category--Revenue Recognition

Dear All,
system is not allowing me to assign revenue recognition field in VOV7 as it is grey field.
As well when I tried through IMG/S&D/Basic Function/Account assignement/Revenue Recognition Item Category-Change mode system is showing grey field for revenue recognition here also.
Please guide on how can I assign here.
Regards,
Sainath

Hi,
In order for this to work, the revenue recognition functionality has to be activated in the system (because of important financial implications and risks, it isn't activated by default).
You need to raise a message to SAP for this.
Please check OSS note 820417.
Best of luck,
