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,
Sagar

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.

Usage in Free Goods Item category Determination

Hi,
I have configured the Free Goods and it is working fine and I had to utlize the SAP standard Usage "FREE" in the Free Goods Item category determination as per the below:
Sales Doc Type    It.Cat.Grp.     Usage   HLevItCat. DItemCat    MitCat
ZOR1                    NORM           FREE        ZAN1         ZANN
ZOR1                    NORM                            ZAN1         ZANN          TAX
I know this "Usage" is available in CMIR and I don't find it in any other places. So, if any materila for which there is no CMIR, then in that case where should I use this "Usage"? Because I want to change the standard SAP Usage "FREE" to "ZREE". How can I change it and assign it? Please guide me.
Thanks,
Jans

Hi,
Try to do as mentioned below.
step by step process for free goods.
1. need to create the free goods condition(condition tables/access seq and types) and pricing procedure and then assign the same to sales area, doc. Priccing proce and cust pri. Procde.
2.you need to maintain the condition records( tcode: VBN1) and maitain the data as mentioned
above(check Notes 2 sheet)
3. if you don't want the free goods item to be created, then you need to add the NRAB condition type to the pricing procedure(document pricing procedure not Free goods pricing procedure) and need to maintain the condition record for this
condition in VK11.
once all this is done, you can see free goods price reduced in the net price and if additional item is added, then you will the quantity (as per condition record) for that free good.
Thanks,
Srini.

Item Category Determination in Deliveries against STO

Dear Guru,
In our STO process, there will always have a Outbound delivery created for this STO PO.
Actually my question is how the system deterermine the correct item category for the outbound delivery.
I checked through configuration under "Define Item Category Determination in Deliveries" or tcode "0184", from which i can find the conbination by "delivery type" + Item category group, but there are many different item category usage and default item category
As such, can anyone please advice me if there is any place where i can maintain the "item category usage" or "Default Item category" to allow the UB STO PO determine the correct item category.
thank you very much

Dear Pankaj,
So sorry, i'm still not clear.
Actually for my client, they have a non-standard PO document type UB2 for the Stock transport order between 2 different plant and the physical address or location will determine by the storage location.
and the complete flow is STO PO--> Outbound delivery --> Inbound Delivery with Ref. with outbound Delivery
--> Goods Issue --> Goods Receipt
and understand from other post, the Mvt type to be use for the outbound delivery will be determine by the item category and Sales Order Schedule line.
For my case, the default Order type is YDL, and Item cat group in Sales Org view 2 is Norm, but for YDL + Norm conbination are many which having different Item catogory usage and Item category.
So how can i know which one the correct item category in "0184" which i can use it to determine the Sales order schedule line.?

Item category determination error

Hi all,
we are basically working on SAP R/3 4.6c and SAP CRM 4.0 environment.
and we are trying to maintain the same item categories in SAP CRM 4.0 as they are in R/3.
when we are maintaining item category determinations in CRM 4.0 the system is throwing the error as follows:
TAN/ZTAN is giving an error "Not allowed according to CRMC_BT_BTI_ASSI".
can any one help in this regard? Thanks in advance.
mdvsapcrm.

Hi kaushal,
As you rightly pointed to the note 649616 "Item category TAN is not allowed according to table CRMC_BT_BTI_ASSI"
But the note 649616 refers to BBP CRM 3.0, but we are working on CRM 4.0 can you plz refer us any note which is applicable for the same.
waiting for your earliest reply.

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.

Item Category Determination- Usage

Hi All,
I am looking into my system configuration for item category determination.
I know that Item category is determined based on
1. Sales document type
2. Item category group
3. Usage and
4. Higher level item cat group
Here, I came to know that Usage is determined from Customer material info record. But in my system, I see a Line item with out usage maintained in CMIR but detemined the item category relevant for usage.
Any of you guys have a thought on this?
Thank you
Kris

Item Usage is not a mandatory field in CMIR (T.Code: VD51). Hence the same can be left blank and item category will be determined accordingly.
From configuration point of view, I was refering to as under:
Sales Order Type | Item Category Group | Usage | H.L. Item cate | Default Item Category
OR | NORM | blank | blank | TAN
OR | NORM | blank | TAP | TAN
OR | NORM | APO0 | TAPA | TAN

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

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,

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.

Usages In Item Category Determination

Dear Friends,
Usages is one of element to determine the Item category. Would any one tell me what is it?
why it is required?
what is effect in business transaction process.
Regards
arun

Hi Arun,
Usually a quick search for your question would probably uncover a lot of similar questions with answers. You're supposed to post a question only if your answer is still not answered.
In any case, the answer to your question is not straighforward. Yes, the usage does determine the Item category (along with the item category group and sales document), but it is not something you can control.
Usage SENI and SEIN for instance are used for sales document type DR. When you create a sales document of type DR via resource related billing (DP90) it uses one type of usage (SENI or SEIN, can't remember), while when you create the same sales document type directly in VA01 you get the other type. I don't remember whether it's SENI or SEIN in each situation, but the point is that the type of usage is determined by the system and there's nothing you can do to manipulate it.
The only thing you can do is to play around with item category determination config to see what usage is used in each case. The way I went about it was to start with only one entry in the config, for instance:
Sales doc type: DR
Item category group: 0002
Usage: blank
Default item category: L2N
Then try creating your sales document. If you get an error in Item category determination then you know something's wrong with that rule. Read the message and try to correct the entry in the table. Usually the error tells you exactly what you're missing. If for instance the message tells you that there is no entry in the table for the combination DR 0002 SENI, then you know that the system uses item usage SENI in your example and you need to ammend the entry in the table to:
Sales doc type: DR
Item category group: 0002
Usage: SENI
Default item category: L2N
That I think is the only way to understand the Item Usage

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.

User Exits for Item Category Determination based on Item Category Usage

Hi Gurus,
If I need to create a new item category usage code and perform item category determination using the new item category usage code, is there a user exit or function module which is able to perform this?
Thanks & Regards

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,

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?

Item Category determination while copying

Hello Guys,
What is the difference between Normal Item Category determination and Item category determination while copying? What could be the business logic behind this?
Thanks in advance.
Ravi

I would maintain the entires to confirm what item categories could be copied from a quote AGIS to an TA order.
Normally a TA NORM drives to a TAN. If yo change the quote from a AGN to ZAG, you may want the order to drive to a TAS dropship ship. Just gives you more flexibiilty without any coding.
