Item Category Grayed Out (Not Available for Input)

Hi Experts,
I want to know SAPs logic for graying out it. cat. field (PSTYV) when entering an Order. Item category  cannot be changed while creating an order once its determined. How & why does SAP grays out it. cat. field and under which circumstances.
My case: I have a configurable item and based on this item subsequent item and its it. cat. is determined, once SAP determines second item it is graying out it. cat fields on both items. Though in configuration I have manual it. cat. maintained for both items along with dependancies. Any info on this matter will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

  • Contract Currency Field not available for input

    Dear experts,
    I am configuring RE-FX in SAP ECC 6.0 and when i try to create a contract with a currency different from the company code local currency, the contract currency field is not available for input even though in the field status, it is checked as available for input. I want to be able to use a currency for my contracts different from my local currency. Also, havent yet made any changes to the standard field status settings.
    Any kind of advice would be appreciated
    Many thanks

    Hi Severina,
    different currencies for RE-FX are introduced with Enhancement Package 2. Therefore you have to implement this enhancement package and activate the business function for Real Estate and the appropriate subfunction to be able to use different currencies.
    Hope that this information is helpful for you.

  • Item category RENN is not defined for this item

    Hey SD experts,
    I've created a sales order with free of charge and standard items.
    Now, I'm trying to create a return order with reference to this sales order.
    I got this error message: Item category RENN is not defined for this item.
    I've checked in VOV4 : the combination Sales document type + Itemcategory group =>Itemcategory seems to be correct.
    Why am I getting this error message then ?
    Regards,
    Bahia.

    Dear Bahia,
    Check item level copy control settings between Sales order free of charge and Return sales order i.e copy control settings between free of charge order item category and returns order itemcategory.
    Once again check item category determination through VOV4 transaction for the combination of
    Your returns order document type+Itemcategory group-->RENN.
    I hope this will help you,
    Regards,
    Murali.

  • Message no. V1321 - Item category ALES is not defined for this item

    Hi,
    I am trying to use ALES - Item Category for creation of the Sales Order. But i am getting this eerror message as Item category ALES is not defined for this item. Please let me know the config changes that i need to do to use this Item Category.
    Thanks in Advance !!

    To maintain the item category for a sales order type first you have to assign the item category in SPRO.
    SPRO>Sales & Distribution>Sales>Sales Documents>Sales Document Item>Assign item categories.
    In the screen Change view Item category assignement:overview screen
    select your sales document type + ItemcategorygroupUsageHigherLevel Item category
    Then you have to maintain Default item category and Manual item category.
    Default item category will be proposed by the system when you enter a material in sales order. You can change the item category to any one of the manual item category maintained above.
    For e.g.: You are creating a thrid party sales order. Default item category is TAN, if manual item category is maintained as TAS for this combination of sales document type + ItemcategorygroupUsageHigherLevel Item category and then system will allow you to change item category to TAS. If this is not maintained then system will give you an error as"Item category TAS is not defined for this item".
    Again depending the item category further acitivites will be carried in SAP, like in third party item (TAS) PR screen will be displayed.

  • Item category IRIN is not defined for this material

    Hi,
    When creating Sales Order, I assign a service material with Material Type DIEN , System gives me error as
    "Item category IRIN is not defined for this item."
    I want to know where and how is the link between Item Category and Material is maintained
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Nitin

    hi
    i am not a expert , based on my knowledge system will determine the item category for line item , based on  vov4 , here you will give the
    sales document typeitem category groupusage+higher level item= default item category
                  or                +            leis               +  sein  + enter over item= irin
    this is for determination ,
    in the material master  you will check the item category group , sale view tab 1, 2,  and also basic data.
    based on this will take , line item , item category . so sales view and basic data view item category group are same , other wise system sows this is error message ,
    please check this

  • Error message: The item category 'ZTPS' is not permitted for product '134'

    Hi experts,
    When I try to create a sales order in CRM, I find the error: "The item category 'ZTPS' is not permitted for product '134'".
    how can I solve this problem?
    thank you for helping me,
    Marco

    hi,
    I tried to perform the "define item category determination" activity, but the problem is that the possible entries for "Item category groups" and "Item usage" are different in the two systems:
    for example in R/3 I find some entries with Item Category group = LEIH (returnable packaging),
    when i try to insert this Item category group in CRM i press f4 to see possible entries but Ican't find the value LEIH.
    how is it possible?
    THANK YOU!

  • 'Item category SUBC is not defined for this item'

    Hi,
    When i tried to create an SO with item category SUBC, the system pop-up this error msg: 'Item cateogry SUBC is not defined for this item'
    Please let me know what should i do?  Thank you.
    I've maintained the item category assignment with same item category group maintained in material master data..But it still not work...

    Dear Laa,
    This is due to not done the itemcategory definition and determination.So
    First you define the itemcategory  SUBC through VOV7 transaction (By copying standard TAN)
    Then do the itemcategory determination through VOV4 transaction for this combination
    Sales document type+Itemcategory group--->Itemcategory
    Itemcategory group is different from itemcategory.
    Itemcategory group maintained in the Material master data
    The item categroy will get determine in the sales order based on Sales document type+Itemcategory group
    I hope this will help you,

  • Item Category Group 0001 not available

    Hi,
    We need to use Item Category Group 0001 - Make-to-order in CRM 2007. This group is not available as of CRM 2007. The list starts with 0002 - Config.at Mat.Level.
    Is it a standard setting or only our CRM 2007 instance is missing this?
    If it is a standard arrangement, do we need to maintain a Z Item category group for Make to order products?
    Kindly resolve the confusion!!
    Thanks,
    Sharad

    Hi,
    The item category group 0001 is missing.I guess then you need to create a new type on your own.

  • Item Category TAB is not looking for Special Stock.

    Hello,
    We have an issue while using item category TAB. For sales orders having item category TAB is allowing to create the Delivery note even though there is no stock received (GOODS RECEIPT) and assigned against this sales order stock.
    Ideally the system should not allow to create the Delivery note. However it is allowing to create the Delivery note.
    Checked the correspoding  Schedule line  that was  determined : CB.
    CB in VOV6 the correct settins were made as below.
    The checks for
    Sched.line cat.        CB    Indiv.Purchase Order
    Movement Type         601   GD goods issue:delvy
    Order Type                NB    Purchase requisition
    Item Category             0     Standard
    Acct Assgt Cat.         M     Ind. cust. w/o KD-CO
    Incompl.proced.       31    Sched.Line w/PurReq.
    Here we have the purchase requistion number on the schedule line tab, and in VBAP could see the it as a special stock item with the indicator E.
    Ideally the flow is ONLY when the GOODS RECEIPT has done against this sales order stock, then the system should allow to create the deilvery.
    Checked the copy control settings in VTLA and for TAB the Data transfer routine is 101.
    Please help to understand why the system allows to create delivery when there is no GR made against this.
    Thanks in advance.
    Ram.

    Hi Navaneeth,
    Thanks for your response.
    What i need is the SYSTEM SHOULD NOT allow me to create the Delivery. In this case it is allowing me to create the Delivery.
    VOV7-TAB-> Special stock indicator is set as 'E'.
    Inspite of it is set as E the system is allowing and ONLY at the time of PGI it is looking for special stock and pops up with the error message:
    Sales order stock 6941 000010 does not exist
    Message no. M7184
    I expect the system should not allow to create the delivery at first chance.
    Please help if it requires any other settings?
    Best Regards,
    Ram

  • Playlists grayed out/not available after iTunes transfer

    I recently had Best Buy transfer our old computer files to the new computer including iTunes. I can view my playlists in iTunes but they are grayed out and I can't seem to access them or play them. I do still have my original playlists on my iPod but again, cannot access them on iTunes. Any ideas?

    OK, realized I had not noticed the "downward" arrow next to the Apple TV device. It was displaying the list of playlists on the Apple TV, which of course can't be accessed on the computer and hence are grayed out. I have a long list of playlists, and just had not scrolled far enough down to get to the playlists on the computer. This is potentially confusing, Apple should differentiate these lists a little better.

    best regards
    Eric

    Hi Eric
    You nay have to set the item category determination properly.
    Fileds are you chould have an entry which should be something like this
    Trans type -
    Item cat group---The item cat that has to appear in your doc.
    for example:
    TA -
    Standard Group-----TAN
    The Item category group field is in the one you have given in your material master.
    Hope this helps you.

  • Data Entry Layouts - Rows not ready for inputs - Multiple records

    Hi,
    I have created a simple layout using a predefined simple structure for rows (FS Items) and a data driven one for columns (for the period value in LC).
    Some cells show some data in them and are not available for input because there are multiple transaction records behind the numbers.
    The transaction records share the same breakdowns except for the Currency Translation Indicator (it is empty for original records and shows '1' for records created during currency translation) and the currency key for transaction currency (sometimes it is empty).
    It would be much appreciated if you let me know a way to introduce new data with layouts for FS Items (accounts) which already have transaction records.

    Hi Roberto,
    Data may not be ready for input because of different reasons. The most I met were - you didn't expand the rows structure until the leaves (not nodes) or you marked the column as display only.

  • Macbook pro - iPhoto keep prompting to update after Yosemite update. Error message when trying to update -This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was cancelled

    macbook pro - iPhoto keep prompting to update after Yosemite update. Error message when trying to update -This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled. 

    I only have 1 apple ID and the same was used to set up this early 2011 macbook pro and iPhoto app. I don't want to loose out on any photos. I tried logging out of app store and back in but no luck. PLEEAASEE HELPP!!!
    This problem has been reported by quite a few forum members, who skipped the update to iPhoto 9.5.1 while running Mavericks. In that case try to purchase iPhoto again instead of updating.
    After making your backup try the following:
    Uninstall iPhoto by deleting it from the applications folder, but do not empty the Trash.
    Launch the App Store, click the "Store" menu, and sign in with your AppleID.
    Open the main page of the App Store and search for iPhoto.
    If iPhoto is listed as "Free", click the "Free" button to buy it with your current AppleID.
    If it is not showing as free, there is no help but contacting the App Store Support, as Niel pointed out: http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact/
