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,
Rajinikanth. G

Hi Rajinikanth,
Were you ablo to solve the issue? I too am facing a similar situation. Can I kindly request you to share your solution with me?
Kind regards,

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

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

Trans type -
Item cat group---The item cat that has to appear in your doc.

RGAfter creating an item in item master..you can go to tools and in there item categories and you can assign the categories there...Mostly my guess is if the item is a purchased item..it will be assigned to default purchasing category and it should also be assigned to inventory category too..as it is also a inventory item..

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,

Automatic Item Category determination

Hi guys
When I create a work order and add a component, I would like that the system automatically fill the field Item Category (L or N).
The maintenance guys doesn't know if the material needs a reservation or a purchase requisition.
Is it possible to do it?
Thanks

HI davidson
Item category L in SAP means normally you keep stock of this item & N means you dont keep the stock intentionally. It doesnt mean that when ever stock out of an item happens its item category changes so by default you keep the item category as L(this also you can make it based on material type as per the setting as I told earlier). While processing order the item category will be default L & you can change it to N also if you wants to generate PR for this item.

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,

Thanking you in advance,

I have a schedule agreement where there are already list of line items but saved without the appropriate item category field in all of the line items. Now I see that the Item category column is greyed out & unable to edit or change thru ME32 T.code.
I am already aware that deleting the item codes & adding again with resolve the issue. But when try to delete, those codes shows that they have GR & PO not completed one.
My question is :
Is there a way to edit/change the Item category field without deleting the item?
Whethere is it possible to do it in bulk update for group of items in SA?
If it is possible, pls provide how to do it with steps.
Kindly advice.
Thanks. in advance!

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
-Arif.
