Service order Item category on Contract determination

Hi
We have contract determination on CRM service orders and it is working as expected. Our Service contract makes the Service order free of charge but its still generates the debit memo in ECC system with zero value.
We don't want this to happen so a work around will to have the item categories different when the Service order has a contract. These item categories will not be configured for ECC billing integration in R/3 plug-in hence no debit memo will be generated.
My question to Service gurus is that is there another way of achieving this? if not is there a way to flip the item category after contract determination without putting in any code.
Thanks and Regards
Rupesh Patil

Rupesh,
I dont think we can flip item category without coding..!. but certainly possible with coding.

Item category W

Hello
Item category W(contract items), can this be used for materials without material
master records.?
Thank you

Hi Sunil,
The contract specific item category W(material group) is available to represent contractual agreements for group of materials.The item category W is intended for the entry of contract items without specification of the material number(without material master record).
Item category W is recommended for materials belonging to the same material group but with different prices.Item category can only be used in value contracts.
Example of use of item categoty W:
You have set up a contract with your vendor for various types of cables.The contract is to cover all types of cable included in the vendor's price list.However the exact type is only determined when a purchase order is created for a certain cable.Instead of creating one contract item for each type of cable in the vendors assortment,you could enter the item category W and the appropriate material group.
Hope this will help you

Text Item Category

Hi ..
I need to ask you ppl .. I have this request to create a text item category for contract . ( WK1 )
Which item cat should I use ? TATX or G2TX or it doesnt matter ?
The contract later will then be used to be brought over to debit memo request .
Hope you can show me some light .
Thanks

I 'm quite sure that you need to use TATX as G2TX is used for returns. Check the item category setup in spro trx VOV7!

Unable to change item category in Create SA with ref to contract

We have a centralised subcontracting contract (item category "L") in place for a material. The requirement is to create a scheduling agreement with reference to this contract line item item category "Blank" (Standard).
But the item category field is greyed out (display only) when we try to create scheduling agreement with refernce to contract on the "Adopt + Details" screen. And we are not able to change the item category "L" to "Blank". Is there a way we can make this item category field editable on this screen before we hit "Adopt + Details".
I have tried most of the field selection configuration, but there is no specific field selection group for this screen.
Please note that the system allows you to change the item category when you create a PO with reference to this contract.

Thanks Manu for your suggestion!
But this is the process that we need to map. Request others to respond if they have comes across such a requirement and able to address it.
Again I want to make a note here that if it is possible on POs, there should be a way to make it work for SAs.

Contract u0096 Free of charge item category

Hello, All
I am working on CRM 5.0 service contract,
I created an item category and in the assignment of business transaction categories I set the pricing process as free of charge but when created the contract the price ran normally and the price has been calculated.
Regards
Jacopo François

HI,
Please change the item category settings for Business Transaction Category.
go to IMG->Customer Relationship Managment->Transaction->Define Item Categoies.
Select your item category and go to second level customizing 'Assignment of Business Transaction Categories'.
Select "Sales"
Go to third level customizing 'Customizing Item'.
In the 'Pricing Data', select 'Y No Cumulation - Values can be used statistically'.
if you don't want to reflect pricing at header level.

Item category determination with ref to price conditions in contract

Hi Gurus,
I have the following requirement from my client.
They need the item category ZNSM populated when creating the sales order ZOR8 with reference to quantity contract ZCQ1 when the pricing condition type is ZPG6 or ZPFL.For this they are asking to change in copy control.The pricing condition is on the contract.Since the sales order is created with reference to the contract you should be able to use the pricing condition to change the item category.
Please let me know whether this requirement can be met by making the changes to copy control.
Regards,
Hari Challa.

Hi,
If you want to populate particular item category for particular sales order, then go ot VOV4 item category determination and enter the value for
Sales Doc. type + Item category group + Higher levl item cate. (if any) + Usage (if any)
But if you want to populate this item category when condition type is ZPG6 / ZPFL in the contract, then i think you need to write some program with the help of ABAPer for routine in copying control
Hope it helps you
regards,
Sagar

Service Contract (item category D)

Hello,
I created a contract for service for painting of the building. Used docuement type WK, item category D and account assigned cost centre.
I gave at the line item level (outline level) the description as painting of building and at service specification level as painting. I am not using service master.
Now when I create a PO referencing this contracts, the item level gets copied but the service specifications short text, qty, gross price donot get copied. what short text I gave at service specification level in contract doesnot get copied in po. Interestingly, the value at item level is also zero.
Then i created another scenario by creating the service master for painting and again created the contract using the service master. still the servie specification short text is not filled. In both cases the system behaviour is same- means no service short text, no qty, no gross price get copied in po made referencing the service contract.
Is this a standard behaviour in system or something is missed out.
Pl help, as I tried everything could not locate the problem
Thanks and regards

Dear Kavita,
Can u pl. help me out??
I m also facing the same problem.

Item category change in contract load of CRM

Hi Guys,
i am loading contracts into CRM-intellectual property Management. i have to create 2 to 3 line items for same product in one contract with higher level items. generally item category is determined and can be changed via GUI. my requirement is i want to change item category through FM CRM_ORDER_MAINTAIN by the time it creates contract but item category is not changing, showing what ever was determined.
i am passing item_type in ORDERADM_I and passing item_type field name for input fields but it is not helping me. Please let me know if any body has any clue..
Thanks for your help
Siva

Do you want to change the item category just before order (contract) save? Or after the save? Try looking at crm_orderadm_i_badi.
Another idea ... try manually changing the item category in CRM Online, BUT .. do a /h and place a breakpoint at ABAP statement "call function CRM_ORDER_MAINTAIN". This way you can see the input parameters for CRM_ORDER_MAINTAIN when CRM itself is changing the item category, the correct way. Then from these input parameters you can get the hint of what parameters must be passed to CRM_ORDER_MAINTAIN to change the item category by a direct call. I hope that made sense....
Hope it helps,
Rahul

Blanket Purchase Order or Contract Purchase Order by item Category level

Hi
I have a requirement that Strategic buyers will fill agreement with supplier by item Category level
Agreement will be on Price level and will have expiration date
The category level will contain list of items Part numbers which are the same item from technically :
Our business is on the electronics contract manufacturing and we are producing for Customers from the High Tech industry .In order to keep each customer process and unique
environment we are coding the item Part # per customer since of that the same electronic component having different part # per customer
Each night we running MRP run (ASCP) and the Planner release Planned order to request ion
The requirement is that the purchase requisition will derive the price from the agreement based on assigned Category level and will automatically convert to Purchase order
Looking for your advise how can this be implemented ?
Thanks

When you release the Planned Order for the these buy items the cost coming up in the table PO_REQUISITIONS_INTERFACE_ALL will be the list price for the item from Org level.
But when you have a BPO created for this item and Sourcing rule is created to have automatic release the releases will have the unit price coming from the BPO.
Correct me if I understood your question wrongly.
Karthik.

We are creating sales document wrt contract. The item category completion rule for item category WVN is C i.e. item is completed after target quantity is fully referenced.
We dont want to change this but we want that even if the target quantity is fully referenced one particular type of sales document should still be allowed to be created with reference to this contract.
Please guide how can I achieve this.
Thank You

Hi
Is it possible to remove the item category completion rule and then restrict one particular document type or item category for only one time reference . In other words to apply completion rule at document type or tiem category level.

yes, that is the problem, while creating PO system is troughing the error. thats why user is asking why PR is picking a contract which is expired!
creating PR manually. and user is having a bunch to perform such job so he can't check each PR for correct contract. and even it is not logical for system front to copy an expired contract.
2ndly one more questin, incase thr are 2 valid conact avaliable in system then while creating PR which contract system must pick

Sales contract item category configuration

Hi,
What is the standard item category available in SAP CRM for sales contract.
What is the significance of Transaction category in Item category. I have configured BUS2000135- CRM Quantity/Value contract item for a z item category. It doesn't allow to add a partner determination which is configured for BUS2000121 Sales contract.

Hi
I just checked an item category of type BUS2000135 and it contains a field for the partner procedure in the IMG. Can you double check it? If the you can't find the field please add a screen shot of the IMG to your answer.

Sub contract PO (Item Category "L" )

Dear Friend,
There is requirement from my client
In case of Sub contract Purchase order (Item category "L"), user should not have option to make any changes for "Child material" which is exploded through BOM. i.e. In PO Creation or Change transcation(ME21N or ME22N) at item level >Material Tab>Components option (which will show the details of "Child Material") should not appear or it can appear but in gray field.
Can any one help me to fix the issue
Thx
Deva

Dear Deva,
I dont think such configuration can be done. This is the flexibility given in system. This can be control through authorization or awareness.
