Item Category for materials

How does the system determine the item category in the sales order, is it possible that item categories for the same material will be diffrent for 2 plants. If so, where do I maintain the item category that 1 specific matetial bevave the same why in all plants.

Hi,
*How does the system determine the item category in the sales order*
The ITEM CATEGORY determination is done in VOV4 transaction
Path: IMG->SALES & DISTRIBTION>SALES>SALES DOCUMENTS>SALES DOCUMENT ITEM--->ASSIGN ITEM CATEGORIES
Here you have to assign you item category defined in VOV7 to
SALES DOCUMENT TYPE
ITEM CATEGORY GROUP
USAGE
HIGHER LEVEL ITEM CATEGORY
DEFAULT ITEM CATEGORY which you want the system to determine in the sales order.
is it possible that item categories for the same material will be diffrent for 2 plants
Here i am not clear on this question, are you asking to create the different ITEM CATEGORIES for the same material differently in different plants?
if this is the question yes, you can assign different item categories for the plants
Just extend the Material for the other plants and change the ITEM CATEGORY
Please revert if you have more queries

  • 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.
    Test & revert.

  • 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.

    Hi,
    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.

    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.

    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.

  • 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,

  • 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.Dhanemkula

    Hi ,
             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.
    Rewards points if it helps.

  • 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
    BMS

    Hi  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 Sales Materials

    Hello all,
    Please can you help with the item category to use for a material that will not undergo delivery process. My client wants to bill the customer immediately after creating the sales order.

    Hi,
        In the item category configuration in VOV7 , for the particular item category, maintain billing relevance as 'B' - Order related billing.
    OR you can set up cash sales scenario where in the document type is 'CS' and item category is 'BVN'

  • Item category for pricing only

    Hey Gurus,
    I am looking for an item category where the material that we enter as a line item on the sales order is only valid for pricing.  We do not want to create a delivery for the material or perform an availability check on that material at the line item level.
    For instance,
    Material 8000380 is the top level assembly and this is the shippable product to a customer.  We would like to add on a custom packaging 6007122.  We were thinking that we would create a new material for this, assign a cost and let PR00 allow us to specify the price on the sales order. 
    Do you gentlemen recommend an approach for this?

    Hey Hrishi,
    the reason why we want this is that we didn't want to set up variant configuration.  IT was decided that we would not use variant configuration since the majority of the options are controlled by our subcontractor. 
    Since we are not shipping those components to the supplier, we had to have a way of telling the subcontract supplier which materials to put on the finished good.  in the case of the packaging,  the customer requested special packaging in which case it was decided that we would filfull that request.
    Since the supplier isn't charging us anymore for the product, it is already included in the transfer price, but it costs us more money to sell it with the custom packaging, we wanted a way to price it differently on the sales order.
    Since we never own the stock for this packaging, we can't really create a delivery against it since it comes with the finished good from the supplier.  So we thought that we would create a different material that would represent the packaging and price it on the sales order so that we could recognize the cost and price on the sales order.
    Let me know if this makes sense.

Maybe you are looking for
