Item Category in Sales

Hello all,
Please i need help, is there a item category that allows for billing without doing the delivery process. My client carries out services and they bill their customers imediately after creating the sales orders.
Thanks.

Hi,
Billing Type is controlled by:
1. Billing Relevance Indicator to be maintained in Item Category: Maintain the Billing Relevance Indicator as 'B' Relevant for order related billing - status acc. to order qty in Item category TAD (Service Item).
2. Maintain Order-Related Billing Type F1 in Sales Order Typ OR.
Next, Assign Sales Ord Typ OR + Item Category Grp YBEP, HLevItCat TAN for ItemCat Detrn.
Kindly check and update on the same.
Regards,
Dhrubajit

How to control Changing of item category in sales order Manually

Hello Gurus,
How to restrict manual changing of item category in sales order?
Reason for it:
When ever they want to give some free goods to customer , they are changing Item category in Standard Sales order at item level then deliverying free goods to customer
looking for your inputs
Thanks in advance
Regards
Venkat

Hello,
There are two possible ways:
1. In Item Caterogy Determination remove the Manual Item Categories so that system will determine the Item Category only from defined options.
2. Use T-SHDO - create Screen Variant & make the item Category Feild as Display only.
Hope this helps..

Issue while changing Item Category during Sales Order Creation

Hi,
Requirement:
Requirement is to change the item category of Sales Order item while creating the sales order.
Rule is: If item category is IRAT then it should be changed to IRLN.
For this, I am using the user exit "USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT_PREPARE" available in the include MV45AFZZ.
Issue:
Using the above mentioned exit, Item category is getting changed to the desired value in the created sales order BUT value of Billing Status (VBUP-FKSAA) which is supposed to get changed is blank.
For example, Sales order is created from VA01 and item category is changed manually to the value mentioned above, then for the sales order created we have VBUP-FKSAA = 'A'. But when value of Item category is not changed manually and it is changed from the exit, then value of VBUP-FKSAA is blank.
I have to find a solution which would change the value of Billing Status according to the change in the value of Item Category.
Please suggest a relevant solution.
Thanks a lot for responding.
Abhinav.

any help will be appreciate.
Thanks.
Eric

Hi Eric,
When we create a sales order with VA01 and enter in a material the system gets the item category from the following function module:
Main Program     SAPFV45P
Source code of   FV45PF0V_VBAP-PSTYV_PRUEFEN
CALL FUNCTION 'RV_VBAP_PSTYV_DETERMINE'
    EXPORTING
      T184_AUART   = TVAK-AUART
      T184_MTPOS   = MAAPV-MTPOS
      T184_UEPST   = HVBAP-PSTYV
      T184_VWPOS   = T184_VWPOS
      VBAP_PSTYV_I = VBAP-PSTYV
    IMPORTING
      VBAP_PSTYV   = VBAP-PSTYV.
VBAP-PSTYV will contain your item category.
I hope this helps.
Best regards,

Change in Item category in Sales order

Hi,
We have one requirement to change the quantity in the Billing document
our requirement goes like this,
Order was created with 10 Qty and PGI also done with 10qty, But physically customer receives 9 qty and Billing done with 10qty.
Now customers will not accept for the Billing and Business has to change the quantity in the Billing without reversig PGI
As per the legal regulations, we cannot reverse the PGI and change the quantity in Billing
But as per the standard, we cannot change the ITEM category in the sales order once the subsequent document is created.
can you please let me know is there any solution to change the Item category in the sales order using User exit of any other way
regards,
santosh

Since I was handling similar scenarios quite frequently when I was in domain, from my experience, I can share the same.
It is known to customer also that billing cannot be changed once it is generated. Hence, the client can request the customer to either deduct the amount to that extent while releasing the payment against that billing document or the client can give one number extra or credit in the subsequent shipment. Any customer will accept for this.
Meanwhile, I also dont understand why you want to change the item category after billing and what you would like to achieve over this. If the above options is not acceptable to client, then the best approach would be generating a credit note straightaway against that billing document and set right the records.
thanks

hi,
You can the item category field (VBAP-PSTYV) editable , if item is configurable (item category TAC), then change item category to TAS.
by using include MV45AFZZ - FORM USEREXIT_FIELD_MODIFICATION.
when screen 4001 or 4003.
   IF VBAP-PSTYV = 'TAC'.
           SCREEN-INPUT = 0.
          MODIFY SCREEN.
        ENDIF.

Item Category in Sales Order

hi friends,
I created one sales order..here, one item category is determined and it is editable...now i want to know
1) how is the item category determined?
2) if I'm able to change the item category, what effect it will have on the document? is it allowed?
thanks,
Viren.

Pratap,
There are two parts to your answer 1) item category is determined by the
1)sales document type
2) Item Category Group
3) Higer Value Item
4) Item Usage.
The basic function of an item category is,it tells us that what product or item u have in the order for example is it a free product if yes the item category would be called TANN which is the item category for free goods.It mainly gives u a decription of the product that you have in your order. All item categories have names like TANN. TAN which are of German Origin.
The second part is item category is useful since it tells us if
1) The item should be priced
2) If certain text items are relevant for delivery.
3) It will also tell you if the item you plan to bill is the same blocked for billing.
4) It will tell you if the item is of special stock which means is it a consignment stock.
5) It will also tell u if the item is of business items, business items are those items of which business data may vary.
Thanks,

Changing item category in sales order

Hi,
For some of the materials in the sales order, the item category is grayed out and I cannot change it.
I can access the drop down menu and see the various item categories assigned to the item category group.
How can I change the item category for these materials in the sales order?
Sincerely,
Ketan

hi.
Ketan
As u r saying that you can take drop down of the assign item catagory there then only one possibility is left that u have deliver some of the qty from the order. So system is not allowing u to change item catagory.
Please check have u made any delivery from that sales order.
if yes then u can not change item catagory.
Hope this will help you.
Thx.

Aggregating Item category in sales order to Invoice

Hi
There are two itemcategories in our sales orders one is revenue recognition type and other one normal item category, when we are billing the sales order, iam getting 2 invoice documents for the same sales document. Our client has requested is it possible to combine the 2 item categories to get single invoice.
Is it possible to do that in SAP only with configurations?
Thanks,
Vaishnavi

Hi Vaishnavi ,
You can prevent multiple invoices for multiple item categories with the help of Copy control.
In copy Control there you will find one field called "Data VBRK/VBRP" there you assign a routine which determines the splitting criteria.
In that routine you can define the Criteria as when to split the invoice. Take the help of your ABAPer .
Hope this helps to you.

Sales order item category per sales organization

Hi
Sorry for the question, I am FI/CO expert, and since our SD expert left us, I am also the SD expert now.
Can I define different item categories for the same sales order type for different sales orgs?
VOV4 (IMG-sales and distrebution-sales-sales documents-sales document item-assign item categories) has no sales organization parameter.
Thanks
Ofer

> Ofer
Yes, you can define different item categories (in t.code VOV7) and assign to same sales order types. The item category is determined by based on Sales document type + Item category group (from material master) + Item category usage + High level item category (check t.code VOV4).
The item categories are not assigned to sales organization, but the sales document types are assigned to sales area. Check t.code VOV8, where the sales documents are defined and in t.code OVAZ, the sales documents are assigned to sales area (sales area = sales org + distribution channel + division).
YOu can see the steps of configuration at SPRO -> Sales and distribtution ->Sales document header (related to sales document type) and then at -> Sales document item.

High-Level items (item category LUMF, Sales BOM Usage 5) in PO's

One of our plants supplies High-Level Items to their customers. The GenItemCatGroup MARA-MTPOS_MARA and the Item category group MVKE-MTPOS for these items is = LUMF. These are essentially Phantom items, which they do not stock.
Weu2019ve created BOMu2019s for these items with BOM Usage 5
The components for these BOMu2019s are GenItemCatGroup MARA-MTPOS_MARA and the Item category group MVKE-MTPOS = NORM
In our sales orders, the high-level (LUMF) item comes in with Item Category TAQ, and all sub-items come into the order as TAE.
The TAQ items are relevant for pricing. The TAE items are not.
The requirements in MD04 are as follows: No requirement for the LUMF item (phantom item). Requirements DO appear for the sib-items.
Everything seems to be working fine as far as Sales Orders are concerned.
Our problem is that this same plant will also sell the same LUMF high-level items to other plants within our organization via Purchase Order (Type NB).
When an NB purchase order is processed, the MD04 only shows requirement for the LUMF Phantom Material. There are no requirements generated for the sub-items.
What do we need to do so that the NB Purchase Orders with LUMF items react the same way that sales orders do, as far as demand in stock requirements, pricing, etc?

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"
