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

  • 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,
    Regards,
    Murali.

  • Trigger Item Category determination in sales order via program

    Hi,
    We are changing item category through an exit based on a field at item level, which the user would enter manually.
    However once the exit changes the item category, if the user reverses his selection or gives another value for which item category should be the orginal one, i need to change the item category back to what was originally determined.
    Rather than looking up the config tables of item category determination, we would like to trigger item category determination through the exit itself.
    Can someone suggest if this is possible, if so what is the code to be written.
    Regards,

    Hi,
    You can use the following user exit to change the item category in the include MV45AFZB..
    *&      Form  USEREXIT_SOURCE_DETERMINATION
    <b>*       This Userexit is used to add additional logic for finding      *
          the source of the plant or the item category.</b>                  *
          This form is called from form VBAP_FUELLEN                     *

  • Item Category determination based on Order Reason

    Hi experts,
    There is a requirement where for a particular sale order type ( ZSC in this case ), there are 6 types of order reasons available.
    And depending upon the order reason chosen, the corresponding item category needs to be determined automatically. It is a 1:1 relationship. That is for each order reason, there is an item category. This is not defined anywhere yet.
    Is there any way of configuring this through customization or programatically in any user-exit available?
    The user is ok with creating a customization table for mapping the order reason to item category. In this case, which exit should I write the code to automatically assign the item category according to the order reason chosen by checking this table.
    Please help.
    Thanks.

    Since the Order Reason (AUGRU) is at header level (VBAK) and Item Category (PSTYV) at item level and the requirement is to check both these fields, you can try with any of the following exits:-
    =>  User exits in the program MV45AFZZ - USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_VBAP
    =>  User exits in the program MV45AFZZ - USEREXIT_READ_DOCUMENT
    Also I am not clear on this
    That is for each order reason, there is an item category. This is not defined anywhere yet
    Do you mean to say that you have not made assignment in VOV4 ??  If so, what assignment is made. 
    In fact, in the exit, the coding should be in such a way that system should ignore this table T184, and check for the combination you mentioned for which you need to have a zee table with the combination of
    a)  Sale Order Type
    b)  Order Reason
    c)  Default Item Category and
    d)  Manual Item Category
    thanks

  • Item category TAK in sales order.

    Hi all,
    Actually i am a PP guy. One of out user want customer specific planned and production order. For that he want to change item category in sales order From TAN to TAK. he want the system should directly create sales order for that item with item category TAK.  I manually changrd item category to TAK tested this in sanbox but system is not creating sales order specific planned and production orders after changing item category to TAK also. I also tried changing strategy to 20, 40, 82 but item category was not TAK.
    Does item category is determined by strategy group in MRP 3.
    When I changed item category to TAK why planned and production order were NOT sales order specific.
    Pl explain
    Thanks

    Hi,
    how system come to know which item catwegory is to be used in sales order.
    In your case, for TAK..if u check in VOV4 the item category determination must be like this...
    Sales Order typeItem category grp(from Mat.master)UsageHigher level item cat.grpDefault item categ
    OR0001(make to order) BlankBlankTAK
    This ishow ur item categ wud get determined in sales orders...
    i wanted to know waht ia significance of TAK as item category in sales order
    I beleive TAK does not have any specific settings for MTO scnario..it's merely a copy of TAN..Only Item cat.grp 0001 does matter in MTO scenario...and ofcourse strat.type from PP perspective..

  • 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.
    Rui Viegas

    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

    Item category is determined automatically by the system based on the following criteria:
    Item category = Sales Document type + Item category group (in material master) + Usage indicator (ABAP) + High Level I.Cat
    It can be changed manually (if configured).

  • Subcontracting Order with Item Category L from Sales Order

    Hi ,
    I am looking for the way to create an Purchase requisition automatically from a sale order with Item Category "L" Subcontracting.
    I tried but it is creating a PR with Item category "S" Third Party.
    Can any body tell me where I am missing.
    Thanks ,
    Lekhram

    Hi,
    From the sales order look at your schedule lines to find which Schedule Line category is being called for your master data and document type of Sales Order.
    Go to config for schedule line category and change the item category assigned in its details.  This item category is not to be confused with your SD item category.  This one is of purchase requisition that gets generated from SO# in the case of Third party.
    IMG> Sales and Distribution>Sales>Schedule Lines>Define Schedule Line Categories
    It would be 5 - Third Party.  Change it to 3 - Subcontracting.

  • CRM Item Category for Text Sales Order

    Hi,
    we are using SAP CRM 6.0 and I am looking for a way to define a transaction item type in a way that I can create a standard sales order with a text item (no material number).
    In ECC, I would choose item type B="text" (e.g. item category TATX), however I couldn't find any similar category in CRM.
    Can you give me any ideas?
    Thanks

    Hi Anke,
    You can create an item category which has item category BUS2000128- Text item.

  • Returnable Packing - Sales order maintainance / Item Category determination

    Gurus,
    I have question about returnable packing regarding sales order entry and item category determination
    1) Sales order : Should we do entry of returnable packing in Sales Order as a regular item
    Example : The material M1 - 100unites needs returnable packing materials PK1 5 unites.
    Therefore in sales order it should be entered as below
    M1 - 100unites
    PK1 - 5unites
    Please commnet.
    2) Item category determination should be done at sales document level
    Sales document type + Item category group (LEIH) + Usage (PACK) + Higher lever item Cat (???) = TAL
    Please commnet.
    Regards,
    Ashish

    Hi
    Yes Ashish you need to enter the returnable as a separate item in the sales order
    For qn no 2 the item categories of higher levelitems can be TAN and TAX
    Sales document type + Item category group (LEIH) + Usage (PACK) + Higher lever item Cat (blank) =TAL
    Sales document type + Item category group (LEIH) + Usage (PACK) + Higher lever item Cat (TAN) =TAL
    Sales document type + Item category group (LEIH) + Usage (PACK) + Higher lever item Cat (TAX)=TAL
    Note returnable packing items are creates as a separate materials with material type as LEIH and item category group as LEIH
    How to bring back the returnable packaging stocks to your plant
    Creating a Returnable Packaging Pick-Up
    Create a sales order using order type LA /AT.
    Enter the required data on the customer, the returnable packaging, and the plant to which the materials are to be returned.
    Enter all other relevant data and save the order.
    Create a returns delivery for the sales order when the materials reach your company.
    The system proposes delivery type LR automatically. The transaction is completed by the goods receipt posting which initiates a transfer posting from the customer's special stock to your plant stock.

  • Item category determination with ref to price conditions in contract

    Hi Gurus,
    I have the following requirement from my client.
    They need the item category ZNSM populated when creating the sales order ZOR8 with reference to quantity contract ZCQ1 when the pricing condition type is ZPG6 or ZPFL.For this they are asking to change in copy control.The pricing condition is on the contract.Since the sales order is created with reference to the contract you should be able to use the pricing condition to change the item category.
    Please let me know whether this requirement can be met by making the changes to copy control.
    Regards,
    Hari Challa.

    Hi,
    If you want to populate particular item category for particular sales order, then go ot VOV4 item category determination and enter the value for
    Sales Doc. type + Item category group + Higher levl item cate. (if any) + Usage (if any)
    But if you want to populate this item category when condition type is ZPG6  / ZPFL in the contract, then i think you need to write some program with the help of ABAPer for routine in copying control
    Hope it helps you
    regards,
