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..

Change in Item Category KFF after Prod Migration

Hi
Our company had to move from a 2 segment Item Category KFF to 3 segment Item Category KFF.
We know this is not recommended practice, but there was real business need for this.
Now we have written programs to change all existing transactions to have new categories.
One thing we are not able to figure out is, when we goto Setup-Items- Category Codes and query Categories, it gives an error "value for the flexfield segment does not exist in the value set". This is coming from the old Item Categories which have been end-dated.
How can we get rid of this error?

But this is not an OAF Question!?
Anyways i got my solution:
The values on this window are queried from MTL_CATEGORIES_KFV (KFF View) which in turn gets the KFF combinations from MTL_CATEGORIES_B. So deleting the values from MTL_CATEGORIES_B gets rid of this error.

Oracle Purchasing: Approvals Group: Item Category Range

Hi to All,
I was wondering if anyone has implemented, Item Category Range in the Approvals Group for Purchasing. I have a requirement for a requisitions process that if it has a category code, say X then it will bring up certain people who are attached to this category code. I was trying to see if this could be done thru the approval group in purchasing. I have tested this out where a manager has a dollar amount, account range and item category. But this fails.
I am trying to avoid doing some customization, within the WF. So if anyone has some ideas how to handle this requirement, please let me know or if you have created the item category code.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Mahesh,
Thank you so much. I have awarded points.

How to populate item category tree with UNSPSC codes?

I have created an application engine to read a UNSPSC code csv file and execute a component interface to load the item categories. I am having a problem updating the tree we use in ePro. Do I need to set up something before I run this? It looks like you can't add nodes if the category doesn't exist and you can't add categories to the tree if the node doesn't exist. We do not have Catalog Management installed.

Dear Friend,
I am new to the iProcurement functionality of mapping UNSPSC code to Item Category Flex field Segments.
Please help me how this functionality works.
Does Oracle provide any standard way to map the codes to flex field.
Do we need a customization.
Any useful documentation will be really helpful.
Thanks in advance

Service Code Mandatory with Item Category D

Dear All,
With Item Category D either we need to provide service code or Limits but we require service code to be mandatory with Item category D.
Please guide how can we maintain.
Regards,
Vikas

Hi dear,
In SPRO-select the document type for whcih you want to set the condition.
See what field selection key you have maintained for that document type. Path for it is
SPRO-MATERIALS MANAGEMENT->PURCHASING->PURCHAS ORDER->DEFINED DOCUMENT TYPE.
Now in SPRO go to
SPRO-MATERIALS MANAGEMENT->PURCHASING->PURCHAS ORDER->DEFINED SCREEN LAYOUT AT DOCUMENT LEVEL.
Now double click on the Field Selection Key which you have found in the above step.
Double click on basic data,item and make required entry for External services Field as madatory by checking the box.
This will work.
Alternatively you can take gelp of your ABAP er ask him to put condition as per following logic.
Service code to made mandatory if Purchasing organisation is SERV and Item category is D.

Sending multiple email for free goods item category??

Hi,
we have requirement to send email (Z report in smartforms) automatically when sale order save in tcode VA01/VA02.
we made reqd config in tcode NACE and we set access sequence on ORDER TYPE and it's working fine. but the problem is that when order booked for item category free goods it sends multiple emails. (i.e. no. of line items = no. of email) for one order no. All other item category is working fine. only problem with the free goods.
I am an abaper. all config are made with the consent of SD consultant.
pls help.
thanks
Radhashyam Sahoo.

If you are an ABAPer, then it sounds like you simply need to debug the processing to identify where/why the fault occurs. As for the NACE settings, you should understand the config as well as your functional counterpart. It will make you a better developer and help you understand the processing code.

Unable to change the item category in existing Scheduling Agreement

HI,
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!

Please try using MASS tcode with object BUS2013
or MEMASSSA
Its a direct table update where you can select the Table Item and Field Item category and input the document number to change the value os item category and try with one sample data then do it in mass.
Before cahngin the item categry Please make sure all the dependancies are met then nly the system will allow you to save.
Refer for Mass upload function it is common for all

CRM Availability Check not working for certain Item Category

Hi there,
I have a situation where for certain order type/item category combinations, the availability check on the same material is not working.
The check is set up to happen in SAP ECC.
I have checked the config. under SPRO->CRM->Basic Functions->Availability Check->Availability Check using SAP ECC
as per many SDN posts on this, and everything looks fine.
The new item category, which was a copy of an existing one, works (i.e. gives availability) for certain order types, but not others.
If I create the same order directly in ECC, it works correctly every time.
I searched the code (from consultants who set it up originally) and can see nothing specific to the order type/ item category.
I also put a breakpoint on AVAILABILTY_CHECK function module in SAP ECC - it is not being hit, in the case where check is not successful.
Breakpoints in MV45AFZZ (Sales Order userexit) also not being hit, but they are hit for the Order/item category combination when it works successfully.
Any suggestions on where else this could be configured would be appreciated!
thanks,
David

Hi David,
One 'simple' reason for this could be that the copied item category does not have the
ATP Profile set up in the item category in the IMG. Make sure you have an ATP profile assigned in the area 'ATP Profile' in the item category.
Please see as well the SCN Wiki link:
Availability Check CRM-BTX-BF-ATP - CRM - SCN Wiki

Error while compiling the PO Item Category KFF

Kindly help me. I am new and learning Purchasing module and now stuck because of an error while compiling the PO Item Category KFF. This is because a segment is saved in the database incompletely.
Now the segment does not show in the Segments Summary form. But when I enter the same Number, I get the error APP-FND-00924: You chose a sement number that is used by another segment.
When I freeze and compile the structure with different segments, I get the error

BOM with Item Category T

Hi friends,
The issue my user is having is that he has created a subcontracting PO ...and later while issuing thro MB1b 541... the system throws an error... PO HAS NO ITEMS..
But PO has a BOM exploded ...when i check it has item category T instead of an L... By the time i could check CS03, the user has deleted the BOM .,so i suggested to create a new one with item category L...The issue got resolved.
But my doubt is how this item category T has appeared in the BOM, since when i try creating a BOM with T i cannot enter matl code but my BOM which had popped in the PO had all details with matl code, desc , qty and item category as T..
Pls kindly advise and help me understand..
Thanks
nandu

When creating your material BOM with Item category T, do not enter the material number.
Only enter decripiton qty. and uom. This should allow you to create the BOM. You would then see this BOM in your Sub-Contract PO. I don't think it was possible you saw the material item in the BOM from your original T category items, as this would not be allowed per standard functionality, as you noted when trying to recreate the incorrect BOM.

Defaulting Item category in Equp BOM

Dear Experts,
I have a problem at the time of creating Equipment BOM, i am mentioning all the details in Header data and while entering the material numbers, it is asking to enter the item category.
In our scenario item category for all engg materials is L only. I want to default that field with L. I searched in IMG, but could not get it.
Anybody can guide me to solve this problem??
Thanks and Regards,
B. Praveen

hi
i think you can make using IMG settings under bill of material ,or use T code OICA and maintain Make User-Specific Settings
You can specify the following default values:
item increment
item category for the "New Materials Items" screen
item category for the "New Document Items" screen
item category for the "New Class Item" screen
material provision indicator
PM assembly (maintenance BOMs)
dialog print options (BOM evaluations)
Recommendation
You should maintain the following values:
item category for the "New Material Items" screen
item category for the "New Document Items" screen
You can define default values which are valid for all users by making entries for a user 'DUMMY'

Utilizing item category ALEN - Creation of PO is not auto generated

All,
I am utilizing item category ALEN during my sales order creation process. ALEN is set up with "create purchase order automatically" flag. I am utilzing schedule line CB and I have maintained the order type NB, item category is 0 and acct. assign category is M. When I save the sales order, the purchase requisition is being created, but no purchase order. In fact, it doesn't seem to be even pulling against the data maintained in OVX5 (See below). I have read OSS note 332475 and I have followed those instructions, but my PO is not being generated.
One other question - when the ALE data is input for the sales organization (t-code OVX5), what have others input when the vendor, purchasing org and plant can vary (meaning, at times we transfer from plant A to plant B; then for the same sales organization, we transfer from plant B to plant A. Maintaining just one vendor against the same sales organization does not make sense to me as it will change depending upon the sourcing and receiving plants for the same sales org.
I have performed a search in OSS on Third Party Order Processing when it relates to individual purchase orders and how to properly configure when using ALEN and TAB - very little information to be found. I can find a great deal of information on third party processing when it relates to the utilization of TAS and ALES item category.
Any insights or areas to check would be very greatful.
Regards,
Sandy

All,
This issue has been resolved internally. I had to set the CB schedule line to using "7" stock transfer item category .. then apply a note to address an error message (note 883133).

Account Determination based on Item category

Hello Friends,
My client needs the Free of Charge scenario. I configured the new item category and attached the R100 condition type in Pricing procedure. System is able to calculate the value for main material and the value is zero for Free goods. But the main problem is business wants to post the free goods cost in different account than of the main material.
e.g.
Material                             Item Category          Cost   Pricing Procedure        GL
M1                                            TAN                  1000         A                             GL1
M2 (free Good)                         TANN                500          A                             GL1
Please note that the pricing procedure will be same only. In the same order type business wants to post the cost in different GL.
Please let me know how to configure it.
Thanks & Regards
Rahul

Hello,
Insert a new Condition in Pricing Procedure which is copy of R100 & assign a new Accout key to the same.
Subsequently maintain new Gl A/c in GL Determination for this Account Key in T-Code VKOA.
Hope this helps,
Thanks,
Jignesh Mehta
