Item Category check on Order Level

Dear Friends!
I want to restrict the item category on order level or disable the fields so that, no one can change the item category.
Please share your experience!
Regards
Anwer Waseem

Hello Anwar,
The Item category is determined using certain criteria defined in the transaction code VOV4. Here maintain the sales document for which you want a particular item category, Item category group from the material master and the item category that you need in the sales order. DO NOT maintain anything in the manual item category filed. If this is maintained then the user will be able to change the item category at the sales order level.
Hope this will help you.

Authorization check based on item category on sales order (VA01 or VA02)

I want to be able to restrict authorization of users based on item category. We only want certain users to be able to select a certain item category. I know I'm going to have to check one of the userexits in MV45AFZZ. The issue I'm having is the authorization object .
The item category is field VBAP-PSTYV.
What we are going is having a item category for emergency orders. But this requires more manual steps to associate with the original order. We already have the emergency item categories defined and working (no credit check etc) so there's no reason not to have them added to the original order. The issue is its use has to be restricted so when the user selects an alternative item category it checks whether they have the authority.
Any help would be appreciated

Hi,
You can achieve this through authorization objects.
Transaction
SU20 - Authorization Fields
SU21 - Authorization Objects
Create the field PSTYV in the Authorization Fields.
Then Create the authorization object and include this field along with the standard field ACTVT (which determines what activities can be performed by a certain user i.e. Create, Change or Display) & user-name
In your your-exit, you can either use the ABAP command AUTHORITY-CHECK or the function-module AUTHORITY_CHECK and pass the values for these fields. The system can perform the test based on this values & based on the sy-subrc value you can restrict the users that are not having the authorization to select item-categories for emergency orders.

How to control Changing of item category in sales order Manually

Reason for it:
When ever they want to give some free goods to customer , they are changing Item category in Standard Sales order at item level then deliverying free goods to customer
looking for your inputs
Thanks in advance

Hello,
There are two possible ways:
1. In Item Caterogy Determination remove the Manual Item Categories so that system will determine the Item Category only from defined options.
2. Use T-SHDO - create Screen Variant & make the item Category Feild as Display only.
Hope this helps..

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.

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.

Function module of querying item category in sales order generating

Hi everyone,
would you please help to tell me which function module can fetch the item category in sales order generation?
any help will be appreciate.
Thanks.
Eric

Hi Eric,
When we create a sales order with VA01 and enter in a material the system gets the item category from the following function module:
Main Program     SAPFV45P
Source code of   FV45PF0V_VBAP-PSTYV_PRUEFEN
CALL FUNCTION 'RV_VBAP_PSTYV_DETERMINE'
    EXPORTING
      T184_AUART   = TVAK-AUART
      T184_MTPOS   = MAAPV-MTPOS
      T184_UEPST   = HVBAP-PSTYV
      T184_VWPOS   = T184_VWPOS
      VBAP_PSTYV_I = VBAP-PSTYV
    IMPORTING
      VBAP_PSTYV   = VBAP-PSTYV.
VBAP-PSTYV will contain your item category.
I hope this helps.
Best regards,

ATP check at order level and delivery level

Hello SAP Gurus,
We are implementing ATP ( Available to promise ) check for the product lines of our client.
Client is asking for comparative benefits if we implement the check at order level or at delivery level . Which would be most beneficial .....activating check at Sales order level OR at delivery level?
Kindly help me by sharing your thoughts or any through any standard help available on SAP site.
Thanks and Regards,
Abhijeet

Its always better to have the best of both the worlds.
Have ATP both at order and delivery level. Its important at order level since you would like to give the customer a confirmed date and quantity when he places the order. It ensures that you do not over commit or under commit the customer.
ATP at delivery level is, i think, should be a must which would prevent creating ambiguous deliveries with huge quantities even if the stocks are not there and then getting stuck during goods issue. Also, it might happen that delivery is created lot later than when the SO gets created and in the meantime stock position might have got changed. A lot of rescheduling and manual backorder processing keeps happening and you can never be sure if a stock that was booked by a sales order would still be there with it.

Trace back item category in service order

Hi all
a few days ago I came across an issue which I presume is PP related.
the issue is , while doing 'dp90'(intially gets created with 'iw31') , I got an error message saying combination of zdr leis sein and l2w does not define an item category. I saw only these two entries in the system
zdrleissein+blank = l2w
Zdrleissein+l2s = l2w
so now it was left to me to make the following combination :-
zdrleissein+L2w= what
of course I chose my intuition here and made it into
zdrleissein+L2w= L2w
all works ,
but my query is, why L2W and not 'L2s' or 'xyz'.
in 'dp90'. user just types in service order no. and -->'enter' and happy to see the next screen, so what item cat. was used went through underwater. where do I see where was the actual construction used (sales doc type + It cat grp+ item usage+Higher level usage] and what item cat. is the system really looking for ?
Thanks

Hi
I am so sure about the exact functionality, but you can follow the below path in SPRO,
Sales---- Sales documents---Sales document item
Also seek help from your SD consulant & post this thread in SD forum also.
It would be of your exact help.

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.

Problem in determing the Component Item Category in Work Order

HI ALL,
When I enter the Component and quantity required for Work/Maintenance Order Operation and press ENTER button, its taking the item category as Non-Stock (N) item. When I checked in SPRO (PM > Maintenance and Service Orders > General data > Define default values for Component Item Categories) for Plant and Material Type combination the Item Category is mentioned as Stock (L) item.
Could you please let me know is there is any other setting from which it is taking the item category as Non-stock item instead of Stock item?
Note:
-     For this Material No BOM maintained / exist?
-     Operations are entered manually not take from TASK LIST.
-     Material type of material is HIBE : Operating Supplies
Regards
Ramu

Dear,
