Item Category for a Product
Hi All,
I need to get the Item Category Group for a product. Are there any function modules to get this. Or else which database tables to look in for.
Thanks,
Smita
Hi,
What is your Question?. Are you looking for Item Category Groups are what?.
Item category doesn't carry any value. It helps you to categorise the product as per the requirement.
e.g: If you have created a product--XYZ in CRM Product Master, there in the BASIC DATA View if you mention the ITEM CATEGORY as NORM and the DIVISION as 00.
And now if you want to use this product in an application like Sales Order (TA), then you have to do the Item category determination in IMG..and i hope you know the procedure..
even though i am mentioning here:
Path: IMG --> CRM --> Transactions --> Basic Functions --> Item Category Determination
Transaction Type --> TA
Item Category Group --> NORM
Item Category Usage --> -
Main Item Category --> -
Item category --> TAN
this is the setting you have to maintain. and here actual process goes like this
SYSTEM will check the details which you have maintained in the IMG like
1. The Transaction Type which you are using (TA)
2. The product which you are selected (XYZ)
Now SYSTEM will search the combination which you have maintained in the IMG, and if it find the result then it posts the ITEM CATEGORY (TAN) for the product.
I hope it'll satisfy your question, if not let me know then I'll try to solve it.
Unfortunately i am not able to explain it by showing you the screen shots...

No item category for service products
Hi,
we download service master (ta ac03) from R/3 to CRM via middleware. These products are stored in CRM as service products without item category group.
How to use these products in service transactions? I want to determine automatically an item category, but without item category group, I cannot maintain a correct determination...
Thanks for any help!
Regards
JochenHi Jochen,
It is because Item Category Group which is present in R/3 is not present in CRM( e.g DIEN item category group for Service without delivery is not present in CRM and needed to be created).
Thus please create the same item category group in CRM.
SPRO Path:
Customer Relationship Management>Transactions>Basic Settings-->Define Item Category Group
Save it.
Download the product again.

Item category for free goods that does not require extra free goods
Hi all,
I have created 3 item categories (ZM1J, ZM0J and ZMFJ)
ZM1J is standard item for sales
ZM0J is free goods
ZMFJ is also free goods
I have setup VBN1 for free goods "buy 10 get 1 free" and my order is including these 3 item categories
ZM1J 10 EA and ZM0J 1 EA. These 2 lines are correct as I need.
Then I give other free goods which is ZMFJ 10 EA and system is asking me to give free goods 1 EA but I don't want to give free goods for ZMFJ. I will deliver only 21 EA (10 for sales and 11 for free)
What config it should do for this case?
Another question, ZM0J is selected by default. How to manually change it to ZMFJ in sales order? This is because some case, I still need to use ZM0J.
Please advise. Thank you very much.
Best Regards,
DarinHi,
Item category is determined by the four combination
Sales order + item category group + usage + item category at higher level.
Now you are using free goods determination procedure.
So that does not depend upon item category determination.
You have to define the item category determination so that proper delivery and proper pricing happens.
Now if you are giving 10more free item for which you have maintain free goods determination master data.
Then system will automatically give one more free goods for that material.
but if you giving some other material as a free goods then please let me know.
Give your requirement that in which way you want to process your ZMFJ then we can give you better suggestion.
To define alternative item category go to
IMG u2013 SD u2013 Sales u2013 Sales documents u2013 sales document item u2013 assign item category.
Over here you can assign alternative item category for your combination.
If you assign over here then you can change manually in the sales order.

Delivery Item Category for Batch Split
Dear All,
Referring to Stock Transfer Order
ME21N --> VL10I --> Vl02N --> PGI --> MIGO
During delivery we select multiple batches through Batch Split.
In my Development server the system determines Item Cat as NLN (NLNORMCHSP = NLN)
In my Quality server the system determines Item Cat as ULN (NLNORMCHSP = ULN)
The setting for Both Item cat is same Except NLN is marked for Error during over delivery.
Pls suggest me which one is appropriate.
Thanks & regards,
Shailendra PanhaleMr. Gauravijit
Pl try the following configuration
Go to logistic Eex->Shipping->Deliveries->define item category for deliveries
Delivery type - item category group - usage--item cat
LF NORM CHSP TAN
Pl try the above configuration and do the batch split in the delivery. -
We need a No-Charge TAQ item Category for a Sales BOM
We have a situation where we will bring in several Sales BOM's on a Sales order, but need to have one or more of the Sales BOM's to be a No-Charge item (similar to a TANN Item Cat).
We are using ERLA (top down) Item Category Group for the Sales BOM materials and when we use these materials in a sales order I would like to be able to change the some of the Sales BOM's Item Category to a No Charge category (we created a ZAQ item category for this situation), but when you creating the Sales Order, the top level item where the pricing is (the TAQ item category) is GRAYED out and I can not change it to our new ZAQ category, even though it appears in the drop down list for the Item Category.
Is there any way to make the top level TAQ item category for Item Cat. Group ERLA a maintainable field on the Sales order?As I know- std , will not support Return scenario of Sales BOM & Free goods.
Work around may be needed to achieve this, other than standard.
Create Zitem category by copying from REN - (ZREN - with structure scope & application), determine item category for sub items as well.
Maintain copy controls accordingly from RE to LR - Ret delivery & RE- Credit for returns.

Discounts by item category for selected customers
Hi sap gurus,
here the business requirement is "Discounts by item category for selected customers"
give me some inputs regarding this issue,
Thanks & Regards
Venkat.DhanemkulaHi ,
let me approach this in two methods for discount .
method 1) ( scale basis discount) ex for 100 pcs 10% discount or .. 100kg 1% discount ....
goto v/06 then scroll down .. select the condition type that u are using then click detail button, scroll down and there u can see SCALES section.. in that u can select scale basis .. here u can select either quantity basis , weight basis , volume basis depending on type of material ...or u can go for the scale formula (may require abap rountines for special requirements like writing formula ). and save and assign this in the pricing procedure ..
method 2 ) normal discount
for discounts condition type to select is KA00. now go to the item level (VA02 to change the existing sales order ) in the item category and double click the item .. then go to conditions tab and enter the new condition type KA00 and then enter the % of discount you want to give in the amount field and then press enter and then save ...
this way u can attain discount at the item level for ea
ch item .. if there are hundreds of items then its better u assign KA00 condition type in the pricing procedure .to the selected customers ... i mean maintain in the info record VK11.. customer and material and the pricing procedure ... that should solve your problem i guess ...
thanks ,

Item Category for Batch Split Line
Where do I change how SAP determines the batch split item category? Currently it is defaulting to an different item category than I intend.
Thanks.Hi Mark,
In your delivery item category determination you should maintain as below
Document type : Document Type for which you are doing delivery
Item category Group : Item category Group for which you are trying to make batch split.
Usage : Should be CHSP
Higher Level Category : Determined item category for the combination of document type and item category group.
For the above combination define item category.

Item category for Configurable material in return sales
Hi all
I would like to know the Item category for the Configurable Material in Sales Returns process. (In MTO scenario)
Thanks and Regards
BMSHi BMS
The item category will be REN , because the return process is same . But the only thing is in REN item category you have to maintain the BOM data as item categroy TAC has
Secondly make sure in item category determination in VOV4 you determine the item category REN .
For example RE + 0004 + --- + = REN

Item Category for Services (Complaints) - Customizing price field and curr.
Hi Experts,
for a service company (thay have only services and no products) i have assigned to a transaction type the item category ZCOM which has assigned the following values in Customizing (SPRO):
Object Type: BUS2000160 (Customer Complaint Item)
Text Determination Procedure: COMP0001
Status Profile: CRMCOM_I
Action Profile: COMPLAINT_ITEM
I have also assigned the Business Transaction Categories to this item category:
BUS 2000115 Sales
BUS 2000120 Complaints
I am facing the following problems:
1. I can not put in a price for an item in the field "Net Value". Why that is not possible? I can not have the price in the master data
of the product because the price is always different so this field has to be moficable. Do i have to assign another kind of item
category?
2. Is it possible to put a default value EUR in the field Currency so that the user does not has to put always the value EUR in this
field? Just the EUR currency will be used in this company.
3. May be it is possible to assign an item categoy which is more adecuate for service items like a copy from a standard item
category? Anybody know a service product standard item category?
Best Regards
Oliver SchultzeHi,
For your 1st question--
I think we can not put the Net value. Because the net value will come from price of the product as well as the pricing conditions. The net value in transaction is nothing but the product price and with some adjustment in conditions.
For the second question--
The currency will come from he BP data. The sold to party you have mainatined on your transaction check the currency is EUR or not. For this you go to BP and check in sales area data in biiling tab.
For thirduestion--
For as ervice product creation you have to give the item category as either SRVO or SRVM for service order product and service contract product.
I think you will get the idea from this
