FM returing Item Category Group for a Product GUID or ID

Hello All,
If any one know any Function module which returns Item Category Group for the particular product.
I had tried it with the tables COMM_PRODUCT = > COMM_PR_FRG_REL => CRMM_PR_BTR but i wanted some standard function module.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Santosh

Hi Santosh,
Check the FM COM_PRODUCT_GETDETAIL_API.
Pass the product guid or product id and Required Settype as CRMM_PR_BTR.
You will get the Item category group.
Hope it helps.

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

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

Item Category Group in BOM

Dear Gurus
I want to create the BOM for Computer = Screen + Herdisk + Key board
1) Main Item Level processing
I have maintained item category group ERLA in MMR (Sales 2 screen) of the finished product
(Computer 1 ).
What item category group should be maintained for sub items?
2) Subitem Level Processing
I have maintained item category group LUMF in MMR (Sales 2 screen) of the finished product
(Computer 2).
What item category group should be maintained for sub items?
3) Also explain about how to mainatin the master records (CS01).
Regards,
Ashish
Edited by: Ashish Desai on Apr 8, 2009 1:10 AM

Ashish,
Suppose the material is completed then the value is shown against final product. In that case we use Item vategory Group ERLA. The maina item category will be shown as TAQ. The Subitem will take item category TAE (text item)
If the material is still not complete then the value is ascertaind through sub items in that case LUMF item category is used and item category for the main item is TAP and for sub items it is TAN.
In any case we will change the item category group as (ERLA or LUMF) in the material master of the final material "Computer". Where as the subitems item category will be "Norm".
Note: If you use standarad Order = OR, and standard item category group ERLA in the Finished MAterial Conmputer, then system will automatically assign item categories for Main item = TAQ and SUb Items = TAE.
Standard process and ORder = OR
Then Execute MM02 for finished material or Main materialo alone i.e., "Computer", Assign Item Category Group = ERLA and save. Then create BOM CS01, CS11 Single level the output will be
COMPUTER = TAQ
SCREEn = TAE
HERdisk = TAE
Key board= TAE.
Similarly if you proceed process by changing Item category group = LUMF for main material i.e., Finished goods "Computer" then
COMPUTER = TAP
SCREEn = TAN
HERdisk = TAN
Key board= TAN
If you are changing the document type prefixed with Z , then you need to proceed with "Assign tem Catgeory"

Use of Item Category Group

Hello All
can any one explain the functional use of Item category group maintained in CRM material master under basic data tab and also under sales and distribution tab.
what is the difference between two views and what happens if dont have value at Sales and distribution level.
Regards
Phani

Hi Phani,
1. Item category Group is just a key which comes from the Product master and helps in the item category determination.
Item category group in the Material Tab, is a general Item category Group valid for all sales areas.
Whereas the one maintained in the Sales and distribution tab becomes specific to that particular sales area.
For eg: To a Product HT-1011 u have assigned two sales areas say A and B
In the Material tab, we assign item category group NORM
In the Sales and Distribution tab, for sales area A , we assign item category group ZORM.
In the item category determination the following settings are maintained:
Assumption transaction type is TA.
Transaction Type: TA
Item category Group : NORM
Item category: TAN
Transaction Type: TA
Item category Group : ZORM
Item category: TANN
Now in the sales order if u enter product HT-1011 and choose sales area A, TANN will get determined, if u choose B TAN will get determined.
It is not mandatory to put the item category group. It onlu helps in the item category determination.In case u have not assigned any item category group, it will look for a item category dtermination entry something like:
Transaction Type: TA
Item category Group :
Item category: TAN
Wish this helps.

Item category group in SAP CRM

What is Item category Group and what does it signify? How is it different from Product Category?

Hi Chiatra .H
Item category group
The item category group is a field stored in the product master. Within transactions at item level, the appropriate item category should be automatically determined
by the system when entering a product. For this to work, you need to make settings for item category
determination.
Product Category
A grouping together of products from your product master data, in a structured hierarchy Your structure and organize your product catalog using catalog areas and subareas, which you then arrange in a hierarchy. You assign products to these areas and subareas.
You use product catalogs to group together products to present them in the Web shop, Interaction Center, or in other forms of media..
I think Its solve your doudt
Please let me know if u have any questions

Missing Item Category Group in Sales Area data

Hi,
Can you please help us. We cannot load some materials to our product catalog because of missing item category group in our sales area in crm. Can you please let us know why this happens? I know that this can be fix by doing request load but what might be the possible rootcause of this problem? Let us know if we need to check something. Thanks!
Regards,
Mike

Any such missing configuration can not be dealt with technical manipulations. The easiest and right way is to (middleware) download or maintain all the required configuration settings.
The possible root cause? Most probably the configuration in the source system (ECC) has changed and not all of them are in place in the CRM system. Check and run the delta / full downloads as appropriate.

Item category group during service order replication is incorrect

Hi,
We are trying to replicate Service order from CRM to R/3 and the service product that is used in CRM service order is got from r/3 named SRV_REPAIR.
In CRM when we enter SRV_REPAIR in Service order the item category YSRP(copied from SRVP) should be determined.
when i use the item category group LEIS(service w/0 delivery) in R/3 for service product then the item category is determined as YSRP correctly but the replication of service order fails with the message
"It is not possible to upload from mixed documents with scen. A activated "
please suggest which item category group should be used in a service product for replicating a service order from CRM to r/3.
Regards
Prathiba

Hello,
The problem might be that item category is assigned to object type BUS2000140.
This object type is not relevent to upload so you get the error.
Please check FM CRM_SALESDOCUMENT_FILTER.
FM   CRM_SALESDOCUMENT_FILTER
    check for upload relevant item object types
      if ( lv_obj_type = gc_object_type_item-sales                  or
           ( lv_obj_type = gc_object_type_item-cust_contract   and
             lv_sales_contract_active = true )                      or
           ( ( lv_obj_type = gc_object_type_item-credit_req or
               lv_obj_type = gc_object_type_item-debit_req )   and
             lv_trans = true )
         and
           <ls_orderadm_i>-product_kind <> gc_product_kind-iobject
      fill table with item guids which are relevant for the upload
        insert <ls_orderadm_i>-guid into table lt_item_guids.
      else.
        insert <ls_orderadm_i>-guid into table lt_item_guids_delete. <-!
      endif.
    endloop.
endif.
if scenario A is active no mixed documents are supported
if <ls_orderadm_h>-scenario+3(1) = gc_scenario_r3chg-int_chg.
    if not lt_item_guids_delete[] is initial.                        <-
      perform fill_bapiret2
              using 'W' 'CRM_ORDER_MISC' '036'
                    lv_msgv1 lv_msgv2 lv_msgv3 lv_msgv4
                    space 0 gc_object_name-sales 0 space.
      raise upload_not_relevant.
    endif.
endif.
Please see note 772267 to prohibit data transfer in this case. The error
message is related to scenario A you are using.
Scenario A is not working for
service items as scenatio A allows changes of doc in both systems so
CRM and ECC. As service items won't be replicated this can't work at
all.
In other words, if scenario A is used the sales order in ECC has to be
identically to the sales order in CRM. This is not the case in service
processing.
So again you have to prohibit data transfer from service orders to ECC
when using scenario A.
Hopefully the information helps!

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.

Order type and Item category group

Can anyone tell me which is the relation between order type and Item category group from material master ??
In fact the problem is that I have created a material and when I want to create new sales order it gives me this errror:
"No item category available (Table T184 ZORDER ZITGR)"
Is there a tranzaction where I can assign Item category group ZITGR to sale order type ZORDER or something like that??
What should i do?

Hi Dan,
Goto T-Code VOV4 and maintain the table
Sales Doc type + Item Category Group + Usage + Higher level Item Category = Item Category
TA + NORM + Nil + Nil = TAN
If you have Customized your own Document Type and Item Category Group and Item Category then give your
Sales Doc type (ZORDER)+ Item Category Group (ZITGR)+ Usage + Higher level Item Category = Item Category (ZTAN)

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

hi
General item category 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
Item category group from material master
A grouping of materials that the system uses to determine item categories during the processing of sales documents.
the difference between the two lies in the specificity to the distribution channel
