Item category determination during Purchase Requisition creation from APO

Im creating a SNP Purchase Requisition in APO and when it is published to R/3, a Purchase Requisition document is created in R/3.
When this PR is created in R/3, I want the Item Category to be determined based on the Material master Special Procurement Type. ( eg: Id like the Item category to be L if the Material master Special Procurement Type = 30 (Subcontracting) ). But by standard, this field is coming as Blank and this field could only be populated during the creation from APO.
I found a user exit ( CIFPUR02 : Enhancement of Purchase Order Interface (Inbound) ) on R/3 where I tried to populate the Item Category, but when I do this, all the purchase order related data is getting deleted and hence no PRs are getting created in R/3.
Could anyone please tell me if this could be resolved using configuration and if not any tips to do this technically would be very helpful.
Thanks,
Harsha

Hi Karun,
This is the code i'm using...
select single * from marc into lit_marc
where matnr = c_eban-matnr
and    werks = c_eban-werks.
append lit_marc.
read table lit_marc with key matnr = c_eban-matnr
                             werks = c_eban-werks
                             sobsl = 30.
if sy-subrc = 0.
c_eban-pstyp = '3'.
endif.
Here sobsl = 30 is the Special procurement type
But when i try to populate c_eban-pstyp = '3', during the creation of Purchase Requisitions in R/3, in the program SAPLEMPI -> LMEPIF01
this condition is encountered which deletes all the data in the tables that is used to create Purchase requisitions.
<i>* get rsnum in the case of subcontracting
      IF XEBAN-PSTYP EQ PSTYP-LOHN AND                      "RB240999
         EXITFLAG_ORDID IS INITIAL.                         "RB240999
refresh all component tables
        CALL FUNCTION 'ME_COMPONENTS_REFRESH'
             EXCEPTIONS
                  OTHERS = 1.</i>
Could you please suggest me anything to get around this.
Thanks,

Item Category Determination during Sales Order Creation

Dear All,
This is Chee Wee, i'm new to SD, i would like to seek for an advice for the topic related to Item Category in Sales Order.
We have a material "Mat005" define as "Stocked" Item category in MM03,
*Stocked means our MM team will always keep stock for the material.
The document Item category assigned to this "Stocked" are "NoPo" --> No Auto Po creation and "AuPO" --> AutoPo creation.
During the SO creation for Mat005 with Qty50 and warehouse stock availale for 60, i'm wondering when i select the itemCat "AuPO", the system automatic changed to "NoPO", but when i change the order qty to 70, then i'm able to changed the itemcat to "AuPo"!!
Can any Guru advice me what is the actual setting or configuration behind to determine which are the correct Item Category that i can choose?
Thank you very much,
Regards,
Chee Wee

Dear Chee Wee,
Basically tem category will determine based on these key combination
Item category group(Material master)+Sales document type(We enter doc type in the creation initial screen)--->Item category
For Example NORM+OR--->TAN.
As per your explanation
I hope In your case stock availability also one of the factor in the item category determination.This might have done some enhancement.
There are two item categories in your process one is "NoPo" --> No Auto Po creation and second one is "AuPO" --> AutoPo creation.
the system automatic changed to "NoPO", but when i change the order qty to 70, then i'm able to changed the itemcat to "AuPo"!!
60 Qty Stock available, you have created sales order for 50 Qt here requirement is less than stock availability so system will not allow you to enter AuPo item category Because there no need of auto PO creation for stock.
When you created sales order for 70 Qty, stock available only 60 so there is shortage of 10 Qty.now system needs to allow to create Auto PO to procure the shortage stock of 10 Qty, so system is allowing you to enter Yaupon item category.
There might be some work around kind take help of ABAPer to get the more details about your item category determination.
I hope this will help you,

Murali.

Purchase Requisition Creation From Release

Dear PM Gurus,
For Manual material availability Check to work before release, the Purchase Requisition check is to be set to Immediately in SPRO-> Define Change Docs and Collective PR or Activating Pr from Now On from Maintenance Order. The issue is that I want to restrict the creation of Purchase Requisition to Release of Maintenance Order but what is happening is upon saving the Maintenance Order, the PRs for all non stock materials are created and I also want the manual availability check to work before release.
Simplifying above details:
I want Manual material availability check to work and PR generation from release both in my Maintenance Order to work..
Regards..

Hi DP Singh,
I had seen the configuration settings that you are telling me but you see the Problem is:
If in Define Change Docs, Collective Purc. Req. Indicator, Operation No. Interval, you define the Res/PReq Indicator as Immediately, then the Manual Material Availability Check would work accurately but upon saving the Order, System would generate the Purchase Requisition.
and If in Define Change Docs, Collective Purc. Req. Indicator, Operation No. Interval, you define the Res/Preq Indicator as From Release, then the Manual Material Availability Check would not work as no material is as such MRP relevant till the time of releasing the Order but the Purchase Requisition would be created only when the Order is released.
Now What I want is both the Manual Availability Check to work and Purchase Requisition Creation From Release, but this is not possible according to the Standard SAP System. A workaround could be that I configure the automatic material availability upon release and configure the Res/Preq indicator as From Release, that way the material availability would be checked when the order is released and Purchase Requisitions would also be created from Release but still the Manual Availability Check would not work.
The Ideal Solution should have been configuring the Res/Purchase Requisition Indicator for all Non Stock Materials to be From Release and the Res/ Purchase Requisition Indicator for all Stock Materials to be Immediately. This way your manual availability Check would work for all Stock Materials and Purchase Requisition for all Non Stock materials would only be created upon Release. But this But still this is an ideal solution not the actual solution for standard SAP does not give you the flexibility to do such a setting in customizing or using Enhancement.
The Work Around Solution given by SAP is as follows: The system provides the following workaround:
After you change the indicator for materials planning-relevance to
"immediately" you can execute the availability check as required. You must
not save the order or network.

Re: Purchase REquisition creation with ref to SAles Order

Hi All,
I need help on an issue.
I have sales order creation and when saving Purchase REq is created at the back end. But for the sales order for item category n schedule line category combination does not allow creation of Pur Req. n pur req no. is not dislayed in Sales order.
But I have Pur Rq created with ref to sales order.
How is it possible.
In Pur req I checked the creation indiacotr, it is with ref to sales order.not manually.
Can you please help it out..

Hi,
Purchase Requisition creation from Sales Order is dependent on the configuration of Schedule line category not Item category. Check configuration of Schedule line category in VOV6.
Also to see the PR No in Sales Order, double click on the Sales line item and click on the "Purchase Requisition" button under "Schedule Lines" Tab.

Purchase Order Creation from ME5A Report

Hi experts,
My client wants Purchase Order Creation from ME5A Report.
He wants show Open Purchase Requisition through ME5A report then he will select Purchase Requisition Number or line item for po creation from there only.
Please advice how I can map this process in sap.
Thanks in advance,
Chandhu

Why don't you use ME57 to display open PRs and then assign sources and convert them to PO?
Or use ME57 to assign sources and ME59 to automatically convert them to PO.
You can create your very own format for report display using custom "Scope Of List" for ME57.
Look in SPRO under Purchasing>Reporting>Maintain Purchase requisition lists.

Item Category determination in Sales Order

Hi
How to know, how item category determined in Sales Order. Is there any analysis available in Sales Order level, similar to output or text determination.
Problem here is in a particular sales order, item category is different compared to configuration. Nothing is recorded in change log. How to know, whether system determined this item category or user changed manually.
Regards
Uma

Hi
Problem here is in a particular sales order, item category is
different compared to configuration
I cant take this arguement
Sales order item cate will picked via the config maintained in VOV4
item category is different compared to configuration
Configuration someone might have changed after that sales order created
Nothing is recorded in change log. How to know,
whether system
determined this item category or user changed manually.
During order creation if you are inputting the allowed manual item category manually in salesorder then that is not a change
Hence it doesnot get recorded (VA01 T code)
During order creation a default item cate gets determined if you chnge that to manual, then that is also not a change
Hence it also doesnot get recorded (VA01 T code)
But in VA02 if you change the item category manually then it is recorded in change log
No item category determination analysis is available in standard and not reqd too
In your case only this could have happened
Configuration someone might have changed after that sales order created

Usage in Item category determination

Hi friends,
In delivery item category determination there will be in field called "Usage" . Delivery type will be coming from delivery document type, Item category group will be coming from material master. In the same way where from this Usage data will be coming. How come the system knows which is FREE, CHSP, Etc??
Can anyone explain me in detail please.
Ratna Kumar

Hi ramarao
Spro --> Sales and Distribution --> Sales --> Sales Documents --> Sales Document Item --> Define Item Category Usage
Item usage controls how the item category should behave during a document processing. Item usage controls the usage of the item. Item usage tells wheather it is a text item , free item , product selection item etc
We can maintain Item usage feild at CMIR also

User exit -Item Category Determination for a Home Delivery Shipping Condn

Hi All
1.     A Standard Order is created in ECC and if the shipping condition is HOME DELIVERY the default site that gets determined will be a HUB and if it is an UPS shipping condition the default site that gets determined is the PDC
2.     The default Item category determined for the delivery relevant items (Box1 and Box2) will be ZSNP which is fine if the Shipping condition is UPS and the site is PDC.
3.     However if the Shipping condition is HOME DELIVERY and the site is a HUB then the ZSNP Item Category has to be flipped to ZTBB which then will determine the correct Schedule line category ZB and triggers the IPO process. This in turn auto creates a purchase requisition on the PDC when the Sales Order is saved
plz help
thnx
rohit

Hi Lawrence Tam,
         If you are going to create a new item category usage to determine an item category, you need to add a new line in transaction VOV4 for the new combination of sales document type + Item Cat. group + usage + high leve item cat. to determine the item category.
Thanks in advance,
Mariano.

What is the use of usage in item category determination?

Hi Gurus,
What is the use of usage in item category determination? pls give examples.
Thanks,
Paul

Hi John,
Assign Item Categories
In this menu option, you can specify which item categories the system proposes during document processing for each sales document type and item category group. At the same time, you can specify additional item categories with which the system default can be overwritten. There is a maximum of three possible alternative item categories.
If, for example, you enter a material with the item category group NORM in a standard order, the SAP System determines the allowed item category via the assignment of item categories to sales document types and item category groups.
The system default and the allowed alternatives are always determined from the sales document type and one or two further criteria. The system default depends on the following criteria:
sales document type
item category group
item category of the higher-level item
item category usage
Note
The SAP System automatically copies the item category determined for a sales document item to the delivery.
Recommendation
Depending on the initial situation you can start the assignment differently:
When you define a new sales document type, you should specify the proposed and the allowed item categories for the materials that are represented by the item category group.
When you define a new item category, you should specify for which sales document types an item category is proposed or which item category is possible for the materials represented by the item category group.
When you define a new item category group, you are to enhance the assignment of item categories to sales document types by this new item category group.
Actions
To define item category determination, proceed, for example, as follows:
1. Choose the sales document type to which you want to assign item categories.
2. Then choose one of the item category groups.
3. Specify all the allowed item categories for the combination of sales document type and item category group.
If you are dealing with a non-material item, you must specify the corresponding item usage.
If it is a subitem, specify the item category of the higher-level item.
If it is an item category that is to be proposed in the sales document, you must indicate the combination of item category, item category group and sales document type as a default value.
4. If necessary, specify between one and a maximum of three item categories, with which the system default can be manually overwritten during document processing.
Thanks & Regards

Sales Order - Using Item Category 'TAB' - Individual Purchase Order

All,
I am configuring for the first time utilizing Sales Document Item category "TAB" - Individual Purchase Order. I have a few questions:
Is there a best practice configuration guide specific for this process? I have found the 'third party' document/best practice, but nothing so far on "individual purchase order from sales order'.
Is there a way to default Purchase Order Type "UB" stock transfer from the Purchase Requisition NB? I thought this could be done based on the schedule line "CB" configuration, changing the 'item category' to 7 stock transfer, then this would carry into the mapping for purchase requisition type NB/item category stock transfer to purchase order type UB/item category stock transfer. However, when I set '7' on the schedule line CB, I then receive a hard error when creating my purchase req to set the supplying plant. I have more than one supplying plant, so I'm not sure if setting the '7' is the right setting for this process. From what I've been able to find for documentation, the item category of the schedule line should be set to '0' standard.
When I perform the post Goods Issue 601 of Special Stock "E" - to the customer (once the stock has been received into the right plant), the system is not creating an Accounting/FI Document to relieve the inventory and charge cost of goods sold. I have reviewed automatic account assignment entries and these appear correct for 601 E. Are there special settings for special stock "E" that I need to consider.
If you cannot answer all of these questions, but can answer one of them, I am most interested in teh last question above.
Regards,
Sandra Miner

Hi Reazuddin,
What I don't understand is why:
if I don't create PO --> I can create Outobund Delivery in Individual Purchase Order but if I create PO (not MIGO) I cannot create OBD in IPO. (Note: in both cases I agree PGI is not possible)
The flowchart is: Sale Order (IPO) --> Purchase Requisition --> Purchase Order (PO) --> MIGO (inbound delivery) --> MIRO (Vendor invoice verification) --> Outbound delivery ( delivery [OBD] + picking + posting[PGI]) --> Sales Invoice
As per your comments:
System will not stop you to create delivery, though you customize delivery item cat: as Check min qtty "0" - error message. because system checks for PGI qtty, but not the delivery qtty.
But then in the case I create Sale order (IPO) + PO (without MIGO) --> the system should not stop me executing Outbound Delivery. It should stop me only if I execute Posting goods issue. But actually in this case, the system is stopping me at outbound delivery.
I agree with Posting Goods Issue behaviour. It is logical in the following cases:
Only Sale order (IPO) created --> PGI is not possible
Sale Order (IPO) created + PO created --> PGI is not possible
Sale Order (IPO) created + PO created + MIGO executed (inbound) --> PGI is possible.
Thank you very much for your feedback.

Alberto Ramos.

How to copy sales order item text in to purchase requisition

Hi Experts,
We enter text for the sales order items in the sales order item details.
we have done settings for the purchase requision to copy text from sales order into purchase requisition and this works for purchase requisitions automatically created from sales order.
we need to get text from sales order to be copied in purchase requisitions which are created by converting the planned order.
we have tried SPRO settings SPRO->Materials Management>purchasing--->text for purchase requisition.
but this settings does not works for Pur Req. created by converting the planned order.
is this because planned order does not have segment for text like sales order and purchase requisition?
Please let me know if it is possible through standard SAP or with the lease development, any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Anand

Hi Rajesha,
Thanks for your reply, some of the items in sales order are procured externally by us and our customer maintains text related to price and specification in the item details of the sales order, MRP creates planned order for these materials and these planned orders are always converted in pur requisition, we want that text from the sales order item details should be copied in to the purchase requisitions converted from planned orders.
is there any user exit which can be called at the time of saving a purchase req or user exit for converting planned order in to pur req.?
if there is any such exit available, then I think I can read the pegged requirement of the planned order where sales order item will be found then read the text in the item then copy this text in pur req then save pur req may work.
but this will be a bulky development, please let me know if we can shorten the development.
Thanks again
Anand
