Item category determination for make to order item

Hi experts,
how can I determine item category(tak) for make-to-order. mean what should I put in ITEM CAT.GRP, USAGE AND HIGHER LEVEL ITEM CATEGORY GROUP. Please advice.
Thanks in advance.

Neel,
Goto VOV4 and create new entry with
your sales doc type + itm cat group + usage + higher leve item cat = TAK
Just check your item cat group in material. If you have created TAK without copy then also check your SL assignment with VOV5.

Item Category Determination for a service order

Hello experts;
I have the following funny issue, When i try to create a service order my item category doesn't get determined properly: specifically when i fill in the product in the SAP GUI the item category field doesn't get populated automatically...funny thing is that i do the exact same thing in the Web UI the very same field Does get populated correctly!
The following are the customizations i have on SPRO: The all thing is copied from the standard but in the GUI the standard doesn't work either! and it does in the WEB UI. Any lights????
Trans Type:ZSVO
Desc:DSGi Service Order
Item CtgGroup:NORM Sales Item (Norm)                                                                                Item Category:ZRVS
Desc:DSGi Product
Alternative Category: SRVS     Desc:Product

I don't get it...
It's as simple as that: the item i'm adding in the service order has Ctg Group DIEN and it was correctly downloaded from R3. The Item Category Determination is as follow:
Trans Type: ZRVO
Desc: DSG T Service Order
Itm Ctg Group: DIEN Service w/ Delivery                                                                                Item Category: ZTVS     Service Sales Item
Where ZTVS is the copy of the item category SRVS (Standard) which for some reason if i put instead of the ZTVS doesn't work either!
What am i doing wrong?

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

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.

Item Category Determination for sales document- Item USAGE

Hi dear all.
I read already the discussions held around this subject, as I'm facing a similar problem for which I cannot find a solution.
I have the need to set up a ItCat determination for sales order ZPD.
The proposed ItCat must be <b>ZPDW</b>. However, for the NORM ItCat Group we have already a setup which cannot be changed.
This is the present status.
SaTy     ItCatGrp    Usage    HLevItCat        Proposed ItCat
ZPD      NORM                                         ZPD
I need that the proposed ItCat is ZPDW, under the same conditions
SaTy     ItCatGrp    Usage    HLevItCat        Proposed ItCat
ZPD      NORM       ?                                 ZPDW
For that I believe that I'll have to play along with the Usage.
But how?
What triggers an USAGE during sales order creation? Is it related to the entered material. In a NORM material, how can a usage be deducted?
Thanks for your feedback on this issue.

It is possible , either one of the item category u can make as proposed and another one as manual. So while creating sale order u need to change it manually

Schedule Line for Make to Order Item.

Hello
In make to order scenario, there are 2 schedule lines for the MTO item in create mode of Order. 0 confirm quantity on the req
When I save the order, i can see only one schedule line with confirm quantity 0.

Hi,
Make-to-order production is controlled by the requirements type. The requirements type is
determined on the basis of the MRP group and the strategy group in the material master record.
 Create material by specifying item category group as 0001 = Make u2013 to u2013 order (Normal item)
In MM01 Basic data tab, General item category field [0001] = Make u2013 to u2013 order, 0002 for configurable
material
Make u2013 to u2013 order checking group for availability check should be [02] = Individual requirements in Sales:
General/Plant tab.
 Go to VA01 and raise the sales order by specifying this material that we created in the previous step
Item category is TAK
Schedule line category = CP
Requirement type = KE [Sales order Header  Procurement  Requirement field]
KE = Individual customer order without consumption
(For standard items item category group = NORM)
System determines requirement type 041-order/delivery requirements. This requirement type points requirement
class where we can control whether the system has to carryout TOR, Availability check, and Product allocation
functions.
Hope this helps.
Regards,

Item category determination for Free Goods

Hi
I have configured inclusive Free Goods and have a second line correctly determined when I create a quotation or a sales order for a particular product.
However, I keep getting the error "Item 20: No item category could be determined".
I have created an entry in item category determination with TAN as my main item category and TANN as the item category for the free goods.
Any ideas?
regards
Tim

I forgot to specify that the usage was for Free Goods in the item category determination.
It now works.

Item category group for Sales of Nonstock Item with Order Specific Procurem

What will be the item category & group for the material for Sales of Nonstock Item with Order Specific Procurement.So that purchase requestation is created

Hi
As of my Understanding this a scenario of THIRD PARTY SALE WITH SHIPMENT where delivery will be created . Addition to the previous setting few more changes that need to be accomodated like it has to be delivery related billing - A for item category
The indicator 'E' will make sure the Stock will be procured only against the particular sale order and it will be delivered only against this sales order. Apart from this there are few more thing need to be done with the Schedule line level
You need to give the movement type 601, item relevant for delivery need to be checked, order type from the MM side need to be assigned, item category from MM and Account assignment group from MM, all these need to to be maintianed in Schedule line level.
Infact why not TAS , we can use TAN , or ZTAN itself But as per the scenario we need to do the changes as required.
Doing all this we can process this order.
Thanks.................Rishi

Automatic item category determination for STO

there are 2 item categories for document type UB.One blank and one U.I want item category U to get populated while creating the Stock transfer order.How is it possible.

Hi,
Item category U has to be deleted form SAP Configuration.
Go to SPRO -> Material Management -.> Purchasing -> Purchase order -> Define document type
Select the document type UB and double click on 'Allowed Item category'. Delete the Blank Item Category from there and save.
Now the system will give Item category U by default for order type UB.

Schedule line disappears for Make to Order Item

Hello,
In make to Order process, there are 2 schedule lines created, while creating the order in VA01 transaction.
But when i save order and see it change mode (VA02), only one schedule line with 0 quantity confirmed for the requested delivery date is seen. the order schedule line with 120 confirmed quantity for the futhur delvery date disappears.
Can some body please comment why this is happening. I am not able to understand this.
Will this schedule line be created after MRP run. I have also executed MD02 for MRP run, as well as created the planned order to Production order. But still the second schedule line is not getting created which was seen at the time of creating the order.

Manual Item category determination

Hi friends ,
I need to do a manual item category determination for the third party item ,as the material is not always a trading item, so the item category group is maintained as NORM in the material master and trying to change the Item category determination via VOV4
As I am looking to have the below combination
(ZZOR + NORM + + = TAN + TAS + TAB) the system triggers error message ...the key already exists but when I checked there was no assignment like this ...even I tried to change the item category manually to TAS in the sales order ....its not accepting.
The only way I could find is just deleting the existing entry ((ZZOR + NORM + + = TAN + TAP + TAQ+TANN) and making the changes as (ZZOR + NORM + + = TAN + TAS + TAB). Now I am able to change the item category to TAS manually in the sales order.
I dont think this as the right option.So pl let me know how cani go with this.
Thanks
Ivy

Hi
You are trying to make changes to the assignment related to the BOM.
Please check for this combination - ZZOR + NORM + + = TAN and add TAS in the manual item category field and save it.
Now in the sales order you will be allowed to change the TAN to TAS.
Thanks,
Ravi

How to make sales order items appear on the billing due list?

Dear All,
We are using SAP CRM 5.0 standalone and we want to use CRM Billing.
All necessary configuration has been done to enable CRM Billing on sales orders.
Here is the list of what have been done:
1. Defined Billing unit and assigned to my sales organization.
2. Created billing document type for sales order (F2 as standard).
3. Defined billing item category (TAN as transaction-based billing after complete)
4. Defined billing item category determination (for trans. type TA, item category TAN, billing item category will be TAN)
With all the above configuration, when I created a sales order (TA), set the order status to 'completed' and save it, I checked the item status, it is 'completed for billing'. However, when I ran 'Process Billing Due List', nothing has been picked up.
I checked the order line item, and found that the 'Delivered Qty' field is 0. Could this be the reason? I set the item category TAN billing relevancy to be 'Transaction-based after completion', then it should not care about delivery, right?
Please provide your input. Thanks so much in advance!

Leon

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

Make to order item

Hi Experts,
I want to create Make-to-order.but when I entering material, it is showing an error message "item category can not determined...". I also created material with item category group(0001-make to order). should I enter item category manually in the sales order for the make-to-order item? I also created material (MM01) with Industry sector-mechanical engineering and material type- semi finished material. should I select finished product here? Please advice me.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
The item category determination in VOV4 needs to be done for the combination Sales order type /Item category group (here - 0001/- / - = TAK.
Also check Setting of TAK (MTO item) in VOV7 and maintain VOV5 and determine Schedule line Category CP .
Then Punch the Order VA01 with the MTO item category which you have maintained in MM01.
