Item Category interface

Need help in Item Category Assignment Open Interface. We have populated MTL_ITEM_CATEGORIES_INTERFACE table. for UPDATE and CREATE transaction type.
When we try to run Item Category Assignment Open Interface it's not picking any records. log file says it has processed all records but no change in process_flag in interface table.
No records in MTL_INTERFACE_ERRORS table_name='MTL_ITEM_CATEGORIES_INTERFACE' not sure where the problem is let us know if you have any hint on this.
Parameters for Item Category Assignment Open Interface are
Record Set ID: 1, Upload Processed Records:Yes, Delete Processed Records: Yes.

Kamalakar

Is there any way to load the valid values without entering them 1 at a time in the form?
I have 5000 values and even dataloader that will take over an hour and is possible to get errors.
Any ideas for importing thousands of category codes?

Item category B & D, how SRM decides

Hi all,
When we create SC and PO goes to backend. It goes with one item category. Which are 3:
1) Standard orders: Nil
2) Limit orders: B
3) Service Orders: D
I want to know how SRM discriminate between B & D. I know that if you choose items from catalogs it goes as standard orders. Means, on what parameter it is decided that the item in SC will take category B or D in R/3.

Hi,
D is service items : item category is a field in the SC structure.
If you select item from catalogue, it can be a service or an item and the OCI (open catalogue interface between catalogue and SRM) will transfer the correct information on wether it is a service or a good.
If non catalogue item (describe requirement) :
there is a radio button to select manually service or good
If this is a replicated material or service (from R/3 to SRM), the item contains the inforation (see transaction commpr01).
For limit items, there is a special transaction and item category B is default one.
Kind regards,
Yann

Item category determination during Purchase Requisition creation from APO

Im creating a SNP Purchase Requisition in APO and when it is published to R/3, a Purchase Requisition document is created in R/3.
When this PR is created in R/3, I want the Item Category to be determined based on the Material master Special Procurement Type. ( eg: Id like the Item category to be L if the Material master Special Procurement Type = 30 (Subcontracting) ). But by standard, this field is coming as Blank and this field could only be populated during the creation from APO.
I found a user exit ( CIFPUR02 : Enhancement of Purchase Order Interface (Inbound) ) on R/3 where I tried to populate the Item Category, but when I do this, all the purchase order related data is getting deleted and hence no PRs are getting created in R/3.
Could anyone please tell me if this could be resolved using configuration and if not any tips to do this technically would be very helpful.
Thanks,

Hi Karun,
This is the code i'm using...
select single * from marc into lit_marc
where matnr = c_eban-matnr
and    werks = c_eban-werks.
append lit_marc.
read table lit_marc with key matnr = c_eban-matnr
                             werks = c_eban-werks
                             sobsl = 30.
if sy-subrc = 0.
c_eban-pstyp = '3'.
endif.
Here sobsl = 30 is the Special procurement type
But when i try to populate c_eban-pstyp = '3', during the creation of Purchase Requisitions in R/3, in the program SAPLEMPI -> LMEPIF01
this condition is encountered which deletes all the data in the tables that is used to create Purchase requisitions.
<i>* get rsnum in the case of subcontracting
      IF XEBAN-PSTYP EQ PSTYP-LOHN AND                      "RB240999
         EXITFLAG_ORDID IS INITIAL.                         "RB240999
refresh all component tables
        CALL FUNCTION 'ME_COMPONENTS_REFRESH'
             EXCEPTIONS
                  OTHERS = 1.</i>
Could you please suggest me anything to get around this.

How to populate item category tree with UNSPSC codes?

I have created an application engine to read a UNSPSC code csv file and execute a component interface to load the item categories. I am having a problem updating the tree we use in ePro. Do I need to set up something before I run this? It looks like you can't add nodes if the category doesn't exist and you can't add categories to the tree if the node doesn't exist. We do not have Catalog Management installed.
Edited by: jbelanger on Aug 4, 2010 8:23 AM

Dear Friend,
I am new to the iProcurement functionality of mapping UNSPSC code to Item Category Flex field Segments.
Please help me how this functionality works.
Does Oracle provide any standard way to map the codes to flex field.
Do we need a customization.
Any useful documentation will be really helpful.
Thanks in advance

Return of Free goods item - Problem in item category

I am trying to create return order of Free sample billing
(ZFDP). The return order type for the free sample is ZFDR.
We have specified Item category for the ZFDR is RENN (Free good item) in IMG Activity -> Assign Item categories.
When I create order and save it, it prompts me to enter G/L Account.
This material is free. It should not prompt G/L Account for it. There is no revenue recognition specified for the item category. I tried changing item category to ZKLN i.e Free of charge item. This item category does not prompt for G/L Account while creating order. but I can not use this item category because it prompts me for Avialability. I can not remove the Avaialabilty check for it because the same item category is used in the Free sample order where availability check is required
In ZFDP order type, we are issuing 100% discount by using R100
discount condition. Please let me know how can I solve this problem.
I think there is some problem in my item category itself. .
My setting for Item category in IMG - Define item category is
same for both ZKLN and RENN. Only difference is RENN has returns
tick and pricing field is blank. In ZKLN pricing is defined as B- 100%
discount. I also tried changing the pricing option of RENN to B.
But still it is asking for G/L Account.
I can not use ZKLN instead of RENN because my ZKLN is used in the
Free item Sales order.
Please help.

Hi
I got answer to my query. YOu need to specify the bill type while defining sales document type. This bill type should not have account assignment mentioned in it.
I changed the bill type, which does not have Account assignment procedure attached to it.
It has solved my problem

Mis match in attributes of item category B and Blanket PO item details

Hi
I could not able to create a Blanket PO with document type FO and item category B (limit).
Normally for a blanket PO, GR is not allowed and IR is mandatory. So, I could able to see these checkboxes for GR (not set and grayed) and IR (set and grayed) in the item details of the PO in delivery and invoice tabs. But I end with an error message that 'GR is not set is used is not allowed' (exactly i don't remember but some thing like that)
Before creating a blanket PO, I found that in 'attributes of item categories', that for the item category B, GR is set and IR is not set (in customizing-OMH4). Of course, one cannot change the attributes of item categories.
I suppose due to this mis-match in the attributes of item categories and that in the PO, I'm getting an error message while creating a blanket PO and could not able to save.
Also I have checked all the system messages for the message displayed. No where(i.e. in any message class or category and for that message number) I found any such message defined with error in 'attributes of system messages' for purchasing, material master, inventory, invoice verification etc.
I suppose this error message is coming somewhere from the application program for the PO.
So, what can be the solution
waiting for your reply.
thank you

Thank you for your answer. I haven't mention this point in my thread but I have already tried this.
I have tried matching the GR and IR controls of account assignment category with PO GR, IR controls and also with item category B, GR, IR controls. Still i am getting the same error and could not able to save the PO
Also I have checked the field settings for PO for all categories like transaction relevant, item category relevant, etc in customizing.
Main problem is both GR and IR controls are being grayed in PO. Other wise I could able to change them as per my wish and could able to avoid the error even though the GR and IR controls in PO are correct as per the process requirement.
If possible, please check the GR and IR controls for item category B (in my system it showing that GR is set with binding and IR is not set with binding). But it should be reverse as per the process requirements and in limit PO it is showing correctly. i.e. with GR is not set with binding and IR is set with binding.

How to restrict free goods determination based on item category

Hi All,
We have a process where when goods for a sales order are returned , we add a line item to same sales order with a return item category.
The issue is we have free goods determination activated for this document type and it works even for the returns item added to this order latter, whereas we don't want free goods determination to work for the returns item.
Can anyone please advise how this can be achieved.

Hi,
I can think of one of the probable solution for your requirement.
Your need to create new condition table with item Category as one of the key combination. I think you need to update the item category in field catalog as well as in Doc Structures. Then maintain free goods condition record all the item categories except for the Return item category. This way you can exclude free goods activation for return items.
Note : If the number of active item categories are more then it may be difficult to maintain condition records for the item categories.
Hope this will help
Regards,
Sanjay

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..

Sending multiple email for free goods item category??

Hi,
we have requirement to send email (Z report in smartforms) automatically when sale order save in tcode VA01/VA02.
we made reqd config in tcode NACE and we set access sequence on ORDER TYPE and it's working fine. but the problem is that when order booked for item category free goods it sends multiple emails. (i.e. no. of line items = no. of email) for one order no. All other item category is working fine. only problem with the free goods.
I am an abaper. all config are made with the consent of SD consultant.
pls help.
thanks
Radhashyam Sahoo.

If you are an ABAPer, then it sounds like you simply need to debug the processing to identify where/why the fault occurs. As for the NACE settings, you should understand the config as well as your functional counterpart. It will make you a better developer and help you understand the processing code.
