Item category in purchasing document.

Hi,
where can I create furthers <b>"Item category"</b> in purchasing document?
Best regards

Hi
U should not create new item categories. U have to use only available item categories
Item categories are intended for special procurements (consignment, subcontracting, stock transport etc and services ).
These transactions are built in with several integrations internally.

How to configure Item Category in Purchase Order document

Hi
Can someone tell me how to configure the Item Category in Purchase ORder document? This field is displayed next to Account Assignment in PO screen.
Thanks,
Lin-Lin

I think your issue is screen layout of the PO
please go to
SPRO-MM-Purchasing-Purchase order-Define Screen Layout at Document Level
here you can select the ME21N and double click on it
on field selection of basic data you can make item category is optional than it will be avialable
if still you find the problesm than check your field selection of your document type and change that field selection as above mentioned.

Item category in billing document

Hi,
Could someone please let me know the main purpose of ite category in billing document. Also, what is the use of having pricing in the delivery document.

Hi
Could someone please let me know the main purpose of item category in billing document.
Item category in billing document is for information only
Like Item category in sales order ( T Code VOV7) Item category in delivery ( T code ZERO VLP) the Item category in billing document doesnot have any control functions
Upto billing Item category has control functions but not in billing or after billing
what is the use of having pricing in the delivery document.
There can be some scenarios where a freight cost is calculated from delivery document not in sales order
For such scenarios we configure a PP with additional condition types and assign in the delivery doc type so that at delivery we get price
What i have said is one vague example like that there can be different requirements to be picked in delivery

MRRL- Item 00002 for purchasing document not selectable

I have a PO which was created with ERS flag on, when we did GR we realized this should not be ERS activated PO. So we reverse the GR and unchecked the Inv. receiptm GR based IV and ERS flag on the PO but now this PO is keep showing up in MRRL with a message "Item 00002 for purchasing document not selectable". How do i get rid off this PO from MRRL report.
Please help!

When an item is marked as ERS and a GR is done an entry is put in the EKRS table. My guess is that you did not do a settlement after you did the reversal so the EKRS table still has the original GR and the reversal which is why it is showing up when you execute MRRL. If you don't want that showing up when you execute MRRL I would add the ERS flag back long enough to do a settlement. The settlement will create a zero value MM invoice and clear out those two entries in the EKRS table.

Item category in Purchase Requisition

Hello experts,
i am having a problem with PR. I made my own docs for RFQ, PR, and PO. and i allowed only standard item category for all these document and i linked them as well.
when i tried to make a PR with my PR doc type i left blank for item category (as for standard it is blank). but system is giving me error "enter item category". can you plese suggest me any solution
thank you very much

hi maggi,
check the field selection attached to your document type. In that particular field selection key, the item category field has been ticked as reqd. entry. Change it to optional entry. I guess your problem will be solved.
Check for the field selection key in : Define Document Types
Check for the item category field setting in : Define Screen Layout at Document Level - Basic Data, Item.

Item category in purchasing

Hi,
I item category U has been deleted from system and changed in item category T, how can I create again item category U ?
Best regards

Hi
You cannot delete or create new item category. SAP never supports that. May be the external representation may have changed. Please check the below config
spro>MM>purchasing-->Define external representation of item category.
here value 7 is for U.

How to get all the line items for each Purchasing Document ?

Hi,
There are multiple purchase orders (EBELN) in PSA with different line items (EBELP). But, when loaded into ODS from PSA, I am getting purcahse orders with only one Line item.
Eg.,If the EBELN has a Record# 4000005 and has 3 line items in it (10,20, 30), I am receiving 10 or 20 or 30 Line item.
As there are more than one line item per PO, how can I retreive all of them?
Also, there are no conditions / routines in transfer structure and update rules.
Please let me know

problem solved.
I moved the EBELP field from Data fields to Key Fields in ODS.

Assign partner determination procedure to Item Category/Sales document type

Hello All,
How can I assign a partner determination procedure to an item category or sales document type? That field is disabled in item category config step. Please suggest.
Thanks,
lavanya

HI Lavanya,
The partner determination will happen through a different way and not through item category definition.
The path would be
S&D->MAster Data->Bussiness partners->customers->Customer hierarchy->set partner determination for hirearchy categories.
In this you will have one option to define by item category.
Hope this helps.

Hi SujanB,
As your question is already answered. An indicator that defines the characteristics of a document item.
For example, the item category controls the type and scope of:
Pricing
Billing
Delivery
Inventory posting
Transfer of requirements
Providing further deatils ;--
01. How item category is determined :--
Depending on the item category group that you apply & the sales doc type you are processing the system automatically proposes an item category in the document.
1.sales document type (source: order type)
2.item category group (source: material master)
3.item category of the higher-level item (source: user defined)
4.item category usage (The usage is defined by SAP and is hard coded in the programs)
SPRO- IMG- SD- Sales- Sales Document- Sales Document Item- Assign Item Category (VOV4)
Pls refer following link for furter details ;--
general item category group
item category usage in item category determination
