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

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

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

How to use item category group for pricing?

Hi,
how can I use the item category group to carry out pricing?
I want to determine a condition type for item category group DIEN only and no other.
Thanks for help!
Florian

Hi Florian Preuss,
You should follow the next steps:
1. Check if the item category group field exist in the pricing catalog to choose it as a field in a table condition, if it doesn't exist (I don't believe that), you should contact to a technical person (ABAP) to add it to the structure KOMPAZ.
2. Create a condition table with this field (item category group) and others that you need to determine the condition.
3. Create an access sequence with this condition table.
4. Create a condition type and assign it the access sequence.
5. Add the condition to pricing procedure.
6.. Enjoy it.
Thanks in advance,
Mariano.

Item category group

Hi gurus,
Can anyone pls. help me identify the appropriate item category group for the free goods in CRM only (i.e. no R/3 integ)? The current item category group of these products is set at NORM but we may need to change it to TANN because of an ABAP runtime error. I just don't know how to include it (TANN) in the list of values in the Item Cat. Group field in COMMPR01. Hope you can help me.
Thanks,
Theresa

Hi Theresa,
In item category determination u will have two entries:
Transaction Typ : ZDBT
Item Cat. Group : NORM
Item Cat. Usage :
Main item cat. :
Item Category   : ZDB
Transaction Typ : ZDBT
Item Cat. Group : NORM
Item Cat. Usage : FREE
Main item cat. : ZDB
Item Category   : TANN
What I understand is that you wish to do free goods determination.I.e. For 1 Case = 1 Free item
For that we have other pre-requisites like:
Free good determination settings:
1. SPRO->Customer Relationship Management->Basic Functions->Set Up Free Goods->Assign Procedure
2. SAP menu->Master DataPrices and Conditions->/SAPCND/GCM - Maintain Conditions
Condition type: 0NA0
Procedure: 0NA001

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 group used for scrap materials

hello gurus
Can u pls tell me what is the item category group used for scrap materials in the material master?
Thanks in advance
Warm Regards
Prashant.

Prashanth,
Item Category
Item Category used is IRVE or you can create your own Item caegory by clicking "New entries"
a. Schedule line is activated
b. Incompletion Procedure = 43 repair item
c. Screen Seq Group is mentione.
Item Category Group
There is no item category group existing. You can create your own item category group "SCRAP". you basically use "Tem category Group" along with Sales Document to determine item category
You need to create a ZSCR scrap material type and assign "SCRAP" item category group to material type
Assign Item categories
Carry out the Item category determination for Item Category Group.

Replicating materials. Item category group is empty.

I am loading material from R/3 to product in the CRM.
I am use BDOC MATERIAL.
I see that field 'Item category group' in the product in CRM is empty, but material in the R/3 system is filled.
Anybody ideas?

Hi Denis,
Make sure the required item category groups are manually entered in the CRM table CRMV_ITEM_CAT_GR. If a specific item category group is missing in this table, then during the material download this field remain empty.
Maintain the required entry and then download the MATERIAL again
Do not forget to reward if helps

Missing Item Category Group data in Material SD data in CRM

Hi crm experts,
Please help us. We are trying to identify what's the rootcause of the problem we experienced in CRM regarding the Item category group. We are maintaining material master in ECC and it will be replicated in CRM via middleware. The data item category group is properly maintained in ECC but when we checked in CRM, only 3 of the sales areas have it.
Sales Area 1 - YES
Sales Area 2 - NO
Sales Area 3 - YES
Sales Area 4 - YES
So we will do a request load for the data to show also on Sales Area 2.
Item category group were maintained in the ff tables:
ECC table TPTM
CRM table CRMV_ITEM_CAT_GR
Can you please let us know how we can pin point this problem so that this will not happen again? We want to apply a permanent solution if there is. Hoping for your kind assistance. Thanks!
Best regards,
Mike

" Item Category Group" in the material master?

Hi,
I'm going to use inbound delivery for purchase order, so I'm going to do it as follows:
1) Create a new "item category group Y001"
2) Create a new "item category Y001 (copy from ELN then change the movement type to 101, and set it relevant to putaway)",
3) Replace the item category group in the material master with Y001
4) Determine the item category via transaction 0184 as the following ways:
     "Delivery Type" EL    +
     "Item Category Group From Material Master" Y001    +
     "Item Usage" V     +
     'Item Category Of The Higher-Level Item"
     ==> "Determine New Delivery Item Category" Y001
My question is, If I change the item category group in the material master, is there any effect to SD part?
Thanks.

*General item Category Group*      vs    *Item Category Group*

Hi,
What's the difference for the General item Category Group and Item Category Group in the material master?
Thanks.

Hi,
General item category grp is used in the sales processes like BOM, where we have higher item category and the default item
categories.
General item category grp would refer to the higher level item category and item category grp would refer to the default item category
General Item category Group is an extension item category group. Example: if one select item catagory group as NORM, but under item category group, NORM can further be classified as Service item, packagaing item or Normal
item using "general item category group".
Also, General item category group is maintained at client level, this field can be maintain from Basic Data View of Material Master. Thus in case item category group is missing, then general item category group is used for item category determination.
Item category group determines how a material is processed in the sales order. When processing sales and distribution
documents, the system uses the item category group to determine the item category and proposes it in the respective document. Item category group is defined in the Sales Org View 2 of Material Master Record.
Example, in the standard SAP System, the item category group NORM is defined for materials kept in stock and the group DIEN for services and non-stock material

Producing item in delivery for packing materials...

hi all,
i defined packing proposal. in delivery, i ran automatic packing. four handling units have been formed. in delivery i want to produce an item for packaging materials automatically. which configurations do i have to?

Hi,
there are two logics regarding generation of delivery items for packaging materials. You can check those two cases in note 831204.
case I)
=====
1) you should check transaction 0184 if a delivery item category is defined for the combination of your
*delivery type +
*item category group that is defined in the material master of the packaging material (should be 'VERP' in standard) -> in case of outbound deliveries it is defined under 'Sales' view of material master, -> in case of inbound deliveries the data in field 'General Item Category Group' is relevant under 'Basic data 1' view of material master) +
*the item usage 'PACK'
AND
2) you should check your settings for the plant determination of the packaging material in tr. vhar -> this should be 'A' or 'B'
====================
OR
case II)
======
1) same as in case I)
AND
2) check tr. 0vlk if 'Gen. pack.matl item' is flagged for your delivery type
AND
3) check your settings for generating delivery items for the packaging material in tr. vhar -> this should be 'A' or 'B'

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.
