Item Category field

Hello to everyone,
is it possible to hide non used values from Item Category field in a purchase requisition?
Regards

What do you want to do?
If you want to hide a Item category column than you can do but i don't understand the non used value of item category field.
to hide the item category column
spro-mm-purchaisng-PR- Define Screen Layout at Document Level
here select the filed selection for ME51n and/or ME52N and remove the selection of item category field than it will not be avalible for these transaciton.
but it is not advisable becuase you might need to create reqs with item category

The requirement includes to update item category of PO with B , But for this Z order type both PO transaction Create/Change(ME21/ME22) the field item category has been greyed out ( Non editable).

    Since I was creating a PO with respect to PR - after running through all the screens the item category field was becoming non editable, But during the create in one of screen the field item category was still editable, so I updated the item category with B during the create and created the PO, I have used BDC to do the same and its working fine. Thanks for all your inputs.

  • A/c assignment category and item category fields purpose

    what is the importance of account assignment category and item category fields in po(me21n).what is the impact of that fields.

    Hi,
    Account Assignment category is a vital field in purchasing document &  has many control functions and helps in determining the object that will be charged in case of an ordered material which is procured for direct usage or consumption. By using the
    account assignment category in the purchasing documents the cost of the material can be apportioned to a single Controlling object or it can be apportioned among various Controlling objects.
    The account assignment category determines:
    a.The nature of the account assignment
    b.Which accounts are to be charged when goods receipt is posted
    c.Which accounts are to be charged when the incoming invoice are posted
    d.Which account assignment data you must provide
    Item category is vital field in the purchasing documents & has many control functions and helps in determining whether an ordered material:
    a.Requires a material number
    b.Requires an account assignment
    c.is to be placed in stock
    d.Requires a goods receipt (GR) and/or an invoice receipt (IR)
    In addition to the above it is also used for differentiating the different types of procurement processes and the types of stocks including special stocks available.

  • Disable Item Category Field in Va01using Enhancement Point

    Dear Experts,
    I have a requirement to disable the "Item Category" column in VA01 transaction for certain order types.
    I have tried using MV45AFZZ(USEREXIT_FIELD_MODIFICATION), but it does not help me much as it works only if a material is entered in the table.
    I want the field to be disabled even if no material is entered in the item level table, i.e. during the load of the Overview screen.
    I know we can do this using  Implicit Enhancement Points, but i am not able to get the exact include to implement my code.
    Can anyone please help me in finding the exact location to write my code, so that the "Item Category" column will always be disabled for that order type.
    Thanks,
    Praveen

    Go to the screen where you want to disable the column by using system--> status-(click on screen no).
    Identify the perform  statement in PBO before the table control loop.there try implicit enhancement.
    It will definitely work.
    Thank You <Reward request removed by moderator>

  • Item Category field settings

    Sir,
    As we know that for standard document type key is "NBF"
    so for item category what is the standard key
    regards
    amey

    Hi,
    NBF is standard field selection Key for PO document type NB.
    In standard SAP, we can't create a new item Category and we need to use existing 10 item categories.
    In order to use differant field setting for your item category, you need to define new field selection key for a new PO document type.Then assign the new Field selection key for the document type and allow only required item category for that document type.

  • Item category fields: Pricing & billing relevancy..

    Hi Experts,
    In item category have fields called pricing & billing. why?
    If item relevant for billing means system relevant for pricing as well.
    If the item is relevant for pricing means we do billing for that item, then why fields are required,
    Please light on this.
    Thx

    Hi
    Billing Relevence means order related billing or delivery related billing and so on
    Means whether the sales order is taken as a source doc for billing or delivery doc is taken as a source doc for billing and so on and accordingly copy controls are set
    Billing relevence means pricing also is there
    why separate fields
    Both of them have different controls
    Pricing means whether it is standard pricing(normal pricing),No pricing,or 100% discount like these entries are defined
    Say TANN it is not relevent for billing but pricing is B that is 100% discount
    It means when the sales order is created when an item is created free of charge the system determines the pricing for that item and makes it a 100% discount thro condition type R100
    It means when these values are posted in FI you will know how much values you have given as discount
    For free item also involves manufacturing cost or procurement cost which the client parts as a sales promotion so he need to know the values
    When this item cat TANN comes for billing it is not billed because billing relevence is kept blank
    Pricing here controls what is going to be the pricing  in sales order not in billing doc

    In normal consignment process, system wont give this pop up message during issue order stage.  Please let me know the message number and also you have to update whether you followed standard document types, item category and schedule line category.  If you have zee types, then you need to compare with standard settings.

    Bill of material / Configuration
    4. Configuration Strategy:
    o The value of this field determines the configuration strategy for the line item. That means it can understand if the correct dependencies are selected or not.
    o Controls which checks and processing are run automatically or are allowed during configuration.
    o The configuration strategy is a group concept which can also be used for item categories.
    o You can set various fine-tune controls for each strategy, for instance whether the system is to run a check for required characteristics or for multiple selections of characteristics.
    5.Material varient action
    o The value of this field determines the system response when the system finds material variant for selected characteristics.
    o Controls how the system reacts when it determines that an existing configuration is already used as a stockable type.
    o When defining a stockable type, the system may then determine a considerably earlier delivery deadline as no separate make-to-order production is required.
    6. ATP material varient
    o The value of the field determines whether the system has to carry out ATP check on material variants.
    7. Varient matching
    o This will activate variant determination.
    o This indicator determines variant configuration.
    8. Manual alternative
    o This indicator allows the user to choose manual alternatives for BOM items during sales order processing.
    o If a multiple BOM occurs during bill of material explosion in SD, you can determine, for each item type, whether you want to select the alternative manually. In this case, you reach an alternative selection screen with specifications on the lot size range.
    9. Param effectiveness
    o This indicator controls that the item can be maintained with parameter effectivity.
    o Parameter effectivity determines the conditions under which object changes are effective.
    o By integrating with the “Engineering Change Management” cross functionality. The BOM items properties can be changed by passing certain parameters like customer number, serial number, date etc.
    Service management tab
    10. Repair procedure
    · Repairing procedure is the procedure in which we specify stages and actions that are to be carried out for the service item.
    · Set of rules according to which sub-items are created in the repair order.
    · In the standard system, repair procedures are assigned to each item category which is used in repairs processing.
    · The repair procedure consists of the following:
    o Stages (for example, repair registration)
    o Actions (for example, repair goods, send temporary replacement)
    · By assigning actions to stages, you set up the rules by which the system determines what sub-items are required during a particular phase of repairs processing
    Control of resource related billing and creation of quotation
    Billing form:·     
    The value of this field specifies how the billing is to be carried out for the resource related items.
    ·     The billing form specifies whether a flat rate or the dynamic items are invoiced individually when performing billing using a resource-related billing document.
    ·     Following are the options:
    o     Fixed rate
    o     Costs
    DIP profile:
    ·     Name of the dynamic item processor profile (DI processor profile).
    ·     The dynamic item processor is a tool that the system uses to summarize data (for example, line items, and totals records) into dynamic items in sales price calculation, resource-related billing, or data determination.
    ·     Dynamic Item is a service item.
    ·     In IMG we define DIP Profile for dynamic item and assigned it at item category level.
    ·     The DI profile controls how the system summarizes the data into dynamic items. A DI processor profile can have different usages.

  • Unable to change item category in Create SA with ref to contract

    We have a  centralised subcontracting contract (item category "L") in place for a material. The requirement is to create a scheduling agreement with reference to this contract line item item category "Blank" (Standard).
    But the item category field is greyed out (display only) when we try to create scheduling agreement with refernce to contract on the "Adopt + Details" screen. And we are not able to change the item category "L" to "Blank". Is there a way we can make this item category field editable on this screen before we hit "Adopt + Details".
    I have tried most of the field selection configuration, but there is no specific field selection group for this screen.
    Please note that the system allows you to change the item category when you create a PO with reference to this contract.

    Thanks Manu for your suggestion!
    But this is the process that we need to map. Request others to respond if they have comes across such a requirement and able to address it.
    Again I want to make a note here that if it is possible on POs, there should be a way to make it work for SAs.
