Item category doubts

Hi Everyone,
I would like to confirm the following understanding is correct, pls:
1. Transfer of Requirement is set in the SPRO for item category . But I could not find where is this setting, Kindly advise where to turn on this setting.
2. Item categories for BOM (main and sub-items) are configured the same way as normal items or materials, in SPRO.
Have a nice day...
John

hi
for TOR first check requirement class r assigned to requirement type
in req class switched on tor
if not activate in schedule line category relevant for tor
for BOM
We have to maintain material wt item category group ERLA
than go to vov 4 & maintain
main items ORERLA-+-= TAQ
Sub items ORNORM-+TAQ=TAP
TAQ = relevant for pricing
TAP=price not relevant,
check it out
regards

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

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.

Item Category 'L' (Subcontracting)

Hello,
I would just like to ask if a UB-type PO (Stock Transfer Order) could have an item category 'L' which is Subcontracting. Currently, only item category 'U' (Stock Transfer) is available in the item category field when creating a UB-type PO through transaction ME21n.
Do adding item category 'L' (Subcontracting) in the system's configuration for UB-type (Stock Transfer Order) PO makes any sense?
Please let me know your thoughts regarding this matter.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi,
item category L made for only Subcontract cycle.we can not use L in UB by following reasons.
When u use UB Doc type you can not enter SC Vendor in PO even after config L with document type UB,system shows supplying plant field.
UB can be used in Plant to plant transfer or Company code to company code transafer or Storage location to storage location transfer.
since in subcontracting cycle there is a involvement of SC vendor which has subsidiary ledger under reconciliation account and Goods issue (Components or BOM ) lying with SC vendor under special Stock, which will further consume useing movement type 543 during MIGO this functionality is not possible with UB.
Hope this will clear your doubt.

Item category copying differently in invoice

Hi All,
For Scheduling agreement YLPN ( Free of cost) the item category driven is YLNN. Delivery is created and also invoice but accounting document not generated because of price error. when i checked i found that , Item category for items in invoice is TAN where as it should be YLNN and in delivery its picking rightly YLNN.
Checked the copy control settings between Delivery and invoice and found the settings are perfect and when i checked in YLNN item category settings, both the billing relevance and pricing are not maintained .
My doubt here is if the above settings are not maintained then the system should not allow to create billing but why the system allowed to create and another is from where it is picking TAN as item category.
Thanks in advance

As already suggested, check whether the correct billing type is flowing in VF01. If not, maintain the default billing type in VOV8 for that order type. Since you have confirmed that both in sale order and delivery, correct item category is flowing, ensure that no user exits are in place as in normal circumstances, when you generate a billing document, most data would be copied from sale order and partially from delivery. This being the case, I am surprised how come it is changed in billing.
thanks

Translate Item category

Hi,
Can someone help me to translate the item categories in SD. It is possible for Item category groups, but not for item category.
Thanks,
Regards,
Rene

Hi,
I really doubt if this Translation Option in VOV7 can be in EDIT mode.. But, as far as I have searched in the system below are the results:
- Go to SE11
- Input 'TVAPT'
- Execute
- Input Item Category
- You'll see the same item category has been maintained in multiple languages
- Same thing is there if you check the tranp. table 'TVAKT' for sales document type, but only thing is that for VOV8 you have the option of 'Translation'
Now, I believe it is SAP standard.. not much I can say about this.

Return of Free goods item - Problem in item category

I am trying to create return order of Free sample billing
(ZFDP). The return order type for the free sample is ZFDR.
We have specified Item category for the ZFDR is RENN (Free good item) in IMG Activity -> Assign Item categories.
When I create order and save it, it prompts me to enter G/L Account.
This material is free. It should not prompt G/L Account for it. There is no revenue recognition specified for the item category. I tried changing item category to ZKLN i.e Free of charge item. This item category does not prompt for G/L Account while creating order. but I can not use this item category because it prompts me for Avialability. I can not remove the Avaialabilty check for it because the same item category is used in the Free sample order where availability check is required
In ZFDP order type, we are issuing 100% discount by using R100
discount condition. Please let me know how can I solve this problem.
I think there is some problem in my item category itself. .
My setting for Item category in IMG - Define item category is
same for both ZKLN and RENN. Only difference is RENN has returns
tick and pricing field is blank. In ZKLN pricing is defined as B- 100%
discount. I also tried changing the pricing option of RENN to B.
But still it is asking for G/L Account.
I can not use ZKLN instead of RENN because my ZKLN is used in the
Free item Sales order.
Please help.

Hi
I got answer to my query. YOu need to specify the bill type while defining sales document type. This bill type should not have account assignment mentioned in it.
I changed the bill type, which does not have Account assignment procedure attached to it.
It has solved my problem

Mis match in attributes of item category B and Blanket PO item details

Hi
I could not able to create a Blanket PO with document type FO and item category B (limit).
Normally for a blanket PO, GR is not allowed and IR is mandatory. So, I could able to see these checkboxes for GR (not set and grayed) and IR (set and grayed) in the item details of the PO in delivery and invoice tabs. But I end with an error message that 'GR is not set is used is not allowed' (exactly i don't remember but some thing like that)
Before creating a blanket PO, I found that in 'attributes of item categories', that for the item category B, GR is set and IR is not set (in customizing-OMH4). Of course, one cannot change the attributes of item categories.
I suppose due to this mis-match in the attributes of item categories and that in the PO, I'm getting an error message while creating a blanket PO and could not able to save.
Also I have checked all the system messages for the message displayed. No where(i.e. in any message class or category and for that message number) I found any such message defined with error in 'attributes of system messages' for purchasing, material master, inventory, invoice verification etc.
I suppose this error message is coming somewhere from the application program for the PO.
So, what can be the solution
waiting for your reply.
thank you

Thank you for your answer. I haven't mention this point in my thread but I have already tried this.
I have tried matching the GR and IR controls of account assignment category with PO GR, IR controls and also with item category B, GR, IR controls. Still i am getting the same error and could not able to save the PO
Also I have checked the field settings for PO for all categories like transaction relevant, item category relevant, etc in customizing.
Main problem is both GR and IR controls are being grayed in PO. Other wise I could able to change them as per my wish and could able to avoid the error even though the GR and IR controls in PO are correct as per the process requirement.
If possible, please check the GR and IR controls for item category B (in my system it showing that GR is set with binding and IR is not set with binding). But it should be reverse as per the process requirements and in limit PO it is showing correctly. i.e. with GR is not set with binding and IR is set with binding.
thank you

How to restrict free goods determination based on item category

Hi All,
We have a process where when goods for a sales order are returned , we add a line item to same sales order with a return item category.
The issue is we have free goods determination activated for this document type and it works even for the returns item added to this order latter, whereas we don't want free goods determination to work for the returns item.
Can anyone please advise how this can be achieved.

Hi,
I can think of one of the probable solution for your requirement.
Your need to create new condition table with item Category as one of the key combination. I think you need to update the item category in field catalog as well as in Doc Structures. Then maintain free goods condition record all the item categories except for the Return item category. This way you can exclude free goods activation for return items.
Note : If the number of active item categories are more then it may be difficult to maintain condition records for the item categories.
Hope this will help

Sanjay

How to control Changing of item category in sales order Manually

Hello Gurus,
How to restrict manual changing of item category in sales order?
Reason for it:
When ever they want to give some free goods to customer , they are changing Item category in Standard Sales order at item level then deliverying free goods to customer
looking for your inputs
Thanks in advance
Regards
Venkat

Hello,
There are two possible ways:
1. In Item Caterogy Determination remove the Manual Item Categories so that system will determine the Item Category only from defined options.
2. Use T-SHDO - create Screen Variant & make the item Category Feild as Display only.
Hope this helps..
Thanks,

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.

Standard and free goods item category

Hi
I have created one standard materia XYZ. in MM01( for Sales org 1000/ Dist. channel 10/ plant 1000.) and i have assigned TAN to this . Now i also need to process XYZ as free goods in some transactions.If I extend this material for the same organizational levels and assign TANN to my material XYZ. then at the time of creating sales order how the system will respond?
Or should i have to change the item category in VF01 every time when i want to give XYZ as free goods?
what should be the right procedure?
Regards
Jyoti

Hi Jyoti,
You mentioned that some times you send it as free item for this you better to enter TANN item category manually in the sales order no need of enter the item category in the VF01.
Before entering the TANN in the sales order for free item you do the itemcategory determination in VOV4 transaction with TANN as like this
Document typeItemcatogory group-->Default itemcategory(DfltC)as TANManual item category as TANN(Mltca).
Now you can able to enter TANN itemcategory manually in sales order.
I hope it will help you,

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.
