Item category editable for components in task list

Hi all,
I need help to put the item category editable for components in task list.
Currently it comes as "L" and the field is non editable. Do you have any ideas or solutions? I already tried SPRO but didn't find anything useful.
Thanks in advance,
MB

Thanks Maheswaran,
So if it isn't possible to make it editable, how can I change the category to 'N'?
Does that configuration depend on the company? Because I want the item category to be 'N' for just some companies.
Thanks
MB

Default item category for components in task list

Hii all,
I need one help. We need to maintain default item category for components in task list.
Currently it comes as "L" and the field is non editable.
Is there any way wherein i can edit the item category to "N" or any other. Also need to know why this category "L" appears?
I can brint the default item category in the service order by the standard config.(PM/CS--> Maint & serv processing --> Main & Service orders --> General data --> define default values for component item categories)
But i want it in the task list.
Please help
Regards,
Vijay

Hi Vijay,
Just go to task list and then to component. go to item category field and press F1 (help)
its mention
Item Category (Bill of Material)
Categorization of the items in a BOM according to set criteria, such as whether they refer to an object (for example, material master or document info record) or whether they are kept in stock.
To my knowledge It wont be possilbe have item category N in task list by directly adding material.
Hi Pete,
Correct me if i am wrong that configuration setting for default material type and item category works for orders only.

To fill in the material number with item category u201CBu201D for Framework Order.

The use of framework orders (also referred to as blanket purchase orders) enables you to procure a variety of materials or services from a vendor up to a predefined maximum value (the value limit).
Instead of a specific delivery date, you specify a validity period for the order.
Goods receipts or the entry and acceptance of services performed are not necessary in the case of a framework PO and limit items.
The invoices are posted directly with reference to the purchase order, provided that the specified value limit is not exceeded. When the value limit of the PO is reached, or the validity period is exceeded, the system issues a warning message. It is possible to book the invoices, but these are blocked for payment.
During the phase of service performance, the cumulative u201Cactual" values (for the services actually performed) are continually updated in the underlying purchase. This enables you to monitor the progress of a procurement project on an ongoing basis. By comparing the "actual" value with the total value, you can always obtain an overview of the degree to which a budget for unplanned services or materials has been exhausted (i.e. see whether predefined limits have been reached or nearly reached).
So with the Framework Order type (FO) and item category u201CBu201D you get the error that it is not allowed to fill in the material number with item category u201CBu201D.
Please suggest me the possible solution to fill in the material number with item category u201CBu201D for Framework Order.
Best Regards,
Harisha

The Framework order type is specialy defined for lesser value procurements (ex: stationeries, cleaning services ....) which are all not worthy to create Material Master at all.
If you are very sure to fill the Material number, then proceed with some other document type.
In what circumstances you want to put material number in FO order?

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 group for Raw Materials

Hello Gurus,
Goodmorning,
I have a client requirement,
Here my client is selling the Raw materials , i have some confusion in taking the category group , what is the item category group we have to use for determing for the sales categories ? I don't find any special item category group for raw material . in material master as well as in item category determination in in sales document types too .
looking for your inputs in this regard.
Thanks &Regards
Ravi.M

Hello Ravi,
Sales of Raw material already being discussed some times back.
As I know, as per Central Excise law, you are not suppose to sell the raw material from a manufacturing unit.
Hence, you rename the ROH material code with suffix A. In tcode OSM2, activate sales view tab.
Apart from this, you need to maintain the renamed code in tcode J1ID with numeric value 1 under the tab Declared.
But, normal OR-LF-F2 process.
FYI - Choose of Material tyoe will be important than choose of general item category group. As I Cat group, Materials grouping that helps the system to determine item categories during sales document processing. If a group is configured specific to distribution channel, it has priority if the corresponding activity is distribution channel-dependent. In the standard system, there are normal items, items that signify services (and therefore need no delivery processing) and items that signify packing material, for example.
Thanks & Regards

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.

Item category used for third party

Gurus,
need to know the item category used for third party process and its determination, kindly help.
thanks
SP

Dear Partasarathy,
there are three different processes within the third-party.
The usual third-party process (the delivery will be made directly from the third-party partner). The item category here is TAS in the standard.
The individual purchase order (the delivery will be done from third-party partner to SD-partner and then the normal delivery will be created from the sales order). The item category here is TAB in the standard.
The ALE-process is the third-party process where the purchase order (not only the purchase requisition) will be created after saving the sales order. The item category here is ALES in the standard.
I hope, this additional info helps you further.
Kind regards,

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

Sort Components in task list

Dear Friends,
I have 20 different components [Assigned to a header assembly] connected to a single operation 010 in general task list. Now I have sorted this components based on Item number as the default sort is based on material criteria.
After sorting the components based on Item even I save the task list, the sort doesn't get saved. Everytime I need to sort it based on Item , any reason behing this?
I tried to create the variant for this too, but seems like its not working?
Is there any way I save this sort criteria as default for the task list?

Using "Item Category" flexfield for Item information on Requistion

Hi Friends,
We are using "Item Category" flex field for gathering Item information on Requisition.
Please let me know how Item Category flex field can be used when using external catalogs /punch out.
Also I need to know how to map the flex field segments with the suppliers' UNSPSC codes.
Thanks

Hi Sandeep,
Thanks for your suggestion.
Do we need to define the mapping for each item in the supplier catalog to be able to use the item in the P2P flow.
I mean to use the item in the requisition-receipt cycle.
Will this be a manual task or is there any automated programs available for this.
Thanks and 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.
