Item category related to Quotation, Statistical value field

Hi All,
IN my Project, Item category Y003 which is used in creation of Quotions, for which Statistical value is 'X' which means "No cumulation - Values can not be used Statistically". My requirement is I need to change this filed value to 'Y' which means " No Cummulation - Values can be used statistically". If I change this filed value, it will solve issue currently I am facing but I would like to know what are the other implications.
Could any one of you please let me know what will be implications if I change Statistical value from 'X' to 'Y'.
Thanks in Advance
Anil

Hello,
The maintain Functionality of this field is to ADD the Item values to the Sales document header values
If the value is Blank then all the item values will be added to the header values
If the Values is X then No Cummulation and the values are not statistical
If the Value is Y then No cummulation and the values are statistical
Apart from the above there is no impact in the sales document

Item Category for Services (Complaints) - Customizing price field and curr.

Hi Experts,
for a service company (thay have only services and no products) i have assigned to a transaction type the item category ZCOM which has assigned the following values in Customizing (SPRO):
Object Type:                             BUS2000160 (Customer Complaint Item)
Text Determination Procedure: COMP0001
Status Profile:                           CRMCOM_I
Action Profile:                           COMPLAINT_ITEM
I have also assigned the Business Transaction Categories to this item category:
BUS 2000115 Sales
BUS 2000120 Complaints
I am facing the following problems:
1. I can not put in a price for an item in the field "Net Value". Why that is not possible? I can not have the price in the master data
    of the product because the price is always different so this field has to be moficable. Do i have to assign another kind of item
    category?
2. Is it possible to put a default value EUR in the field Currency so that the user does not has to put always the value EUR in this
   field? Just the EUR currency will be used in this company.
3. May be it is possible to assign an item categoy which is more adecuate for service items like a copy from a standard item
    category? Anybody know a service product standard item category?
Best Regards
Oliver Schultze

Hi,
For your 1st question--
I think we can not put the Net value. Because the net value will come from price of the product as well as the pricing conditions. The net value in transaction is nothing but the product price and with some adjustment in conditions.
For the second question--
The currency will come from he BP data. The sold to party you have mainatined on your transaction check the currency is EUR or not. For this you go to BP and check in sales area data in biiling tab.
For thirduestion--
For as ervice product creation you have to give the item category as either SRVO or SRVM for service order product and service contract product.
I think you will get the idea from this

Item Category field settings

Sir,
As we know that for standard document type key is "NBF"
so for item category what is the standard key
regards
amey

Hi,
NBF is standard field selection Key for PO document type NB.
In standard SAP, we can't create a new item Category and we need to use existing 10 item categories.
In order to use differant field setting for your item category, you need to define new field selection key for a new PO document type.Then assign the new Field selection key for the document type and allow only required item category for that document type.

Item Usage in Item Category Determination?

What is Item Usage in Item Category Determiantion?

Hi Farhan,
Usage field will tell what is the purpose of Particular Material
Example
FREE: For free goods Material
CHSP: Batch Items
TEXT: Text Materilals..etc
Item Category Usage: It controls system response during document processing. The line item has an specific usage according to that usage it has to respond. Free for free items, text for text items etc.
Usage field will covney the material details.
The usage field tells whether it is related to the higher level of item category. and how that material given usage should behave in the partifular sales order line item. for example in free goods we give this usage as free and in text items and in material determination and in BOMS. u can also view this in CMIR.
Item category Determination: Sales Document type + Item Category Group + Usage + Higher Level Item Category
TA + NORM + FREE + TAN = TANN
Hope this will solve your problem.
Reward Pts if it solve your problem.
Thx & Regards,
Pankaj

Default Item category in PO

I have made a new document type for Sub contracting incase of PO creation.
How can I make the Item category L as a default value for that Documenet type, i.e As soon as I choose the document type as Sub- contracting in PO, the item category should have the value as L.

Hi,
First of all, there is not any such configuration setting in SAP which enables you to default automatically the item category ''L" when you select document type. Of course, you can restrict only item category "L" via configuration of your related PO document type (via IMG ---> Material Management ---> Purchasing ---> Purchase Order ---> Define Document Type). The only setting that you can be able to set a default item category "L" is throgh definition of special procurement key (via Transaction OMD9). Yet, this setting is a plant-specific which I don't really know whether it can meet your business requirements. Having said that you can still find some workaround solution which is completely subject to your purchase-to-order process. To be more specific, you should look into if -
1) The material requirement is always coming from purchase requisition;
2) If this is the case, then how was your PR generated? Manually? or via MRP run? or directly from work order? etc...

Item Category M

Hello experts,
Can anyone help me with a issue.
I'm doing the MM process bellow:
- Creating a PR using acc assign. U, without material code and without Item category
- Creating a Quotation using acc assign U, without code and without item category (using the PR as reference)
When I try to create a Contract using the Quotation as reference, I'm not able to include the item category M (the field is Display only). I need this item category so I can create POs using different materials for the same contract item.
How can I solve this problem?
Thanks!
BR
Luciana

Hello Raja,
Thanks for your response.
- I've already put the entry at OMG0 for Item Category M
- In the screen layout, the field Item Category is selected as "Opt.entry"
Look that I don't have problems when I create a Contract using PR as reference. I can create a PR without item category and, when I create the contract, I put the item category M.
The field is only as Display when I create a Contract using a Quotation as reference.
I try to create the Quotation using the item category M, but I got the message: ME641 (Item category M is only supported for contracts)
Do you have any other idea??
Thanks a lot!

Clarification in item category determination based on Usage

Hi
We are having one quotation document (ZXYZ) and the item category determination we maintained is as below
SALES Doc +   ITEM.C . Group + USAGE +   H.L.ITEM   =    ITEM Category
ZXYZ +   NORM   +     SENI + -
=    AES
ZXYZ   +   NORM   +     SEIN + -
=   AEN
(SENI = D.ITEM IS NOT BILLING RELEVANT)
(SEIN = D.ITEM IS BILLING RELEVANT)
We created many Service quotations , say some 1000 quotations till date . In some quotations system is taking AES as item category and in some cases system is taking AEN as item category . and in all the cases the Quotation document type is ZXYZ and the item category group maintained in the Material master is NORM only .
On what basis system is determining my item category in the quotation . If it is determining based on Usage then where we maintain the Usage (either SENI or SEIN)
Thanks in Advance & Regards

Hi,
Please find below the explaination for your query.
Item usage
The item usage indicator controls the system reaction when you process a sales document item in a certain context.
Use
This indicator can be used for determination of item categories, where you can use it to control which other item categories are to be found in a certain environment (text items and packing items, for example).
It can also control which items are to be billed in a service quotation or the corresponding sales order and which are only there for statistical reasons.
The item category usage can be defined using transaction 0VVW.
I hope this gives you sufficient information on the usage in item categories.

Change Item Category in Sales Order

Dear Sir,
We require Item Category field to be editable in VA02. Ours is MTO scenario when we enter Material in SO the Item Category fields gets grey out we require the same to be editable. We have also maintianed the MItC in Item category determination in VOV4 still the fields gets greyed out.
Please guide.
Regards,
Mahendra

Hi
Item category will only be in editable mode in VA02 unless and until the delivery is not made or partial delivery has been done
Manual item category is to change manually the automatic determination done by the system and not to input manually when there is no automatic determination
Even make to order item category TAK is in editable mode in VA02 transaction
May be something else in your setup controlling this

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

Usage in Item category determination

Hi friends,
In delivery item category determination there will be in field called "Usage" . Delivery type will be coming from delivery document type, Item category group will be coming from material master. In the same way where from this Usage data will be coming. How come the system knows which is FREE, CHSP, Etc??
Can anyone explain me in detail please.
Ratna Kumar

Hi ramarao
Spro --> Sales and Distribution --> Sales --> Sales Documents --> Sales Document Item --> Define Item Category Usage
Item usage controls how the item category should behave during a document processing. Item usage controls the usage of the item. Item usage tells wheather it is a text item , free item , product selection item etc
We can maintain Item usage feild at CMIR also

Item Category Usage: Free

Hi
Want to know significance of Usage Free, know that used in VOV4 , but scenario where this is used , for eg when we define TAN and higher level Item Vcat as TAN the result is TANN.
Also I have searched the usage field in MARD/MARC/MARA, no mention of usage field
Document type                                     OR
Item cat group                                     NORM
Usage                                                 FREE
Higher level item category                  TAN
Default Item category                         TANN

Rohit

Hi bahlrohit1,
Usage field will tell what is the purpose of Particular Material
Example:
FREE: For free goods Material
CHSP: Batch Items
TEXT: Text Materilals..etc
Higher level item category and Item usage are used in the item category determination.
Let me take an example of Item Category TANN (Free of charge Item)
Item category Determination: Sales Document type + Item Category Group + Usage + Higher Level Item Category
TA + NORM + FREE + TAN = TANN
Higher Level Item category: The category on which this item category is dependent. meaning for TAN , TANN is a free item. Therefor TAN is the higher level item category.
Item Category Usage: It controls system response during document processing. The line item has an specific usage according to that usage it has to respond. Free for free items, text for text items etc.
Please go thru the below issues

Link b/w item category and material group

Hi All,
Is there any link between item category and material group.
Regards
Pavan

Hi Pavan,
Item Category
Item Category is a control field that allows the PR to follow the correct path for the correct path for that category of PR. The SAP system is delivered with a set of item categories
Blank -Standard
K- Consignment
L- Sub Contracting
S- Third Party
D- Service
U- Stock Transfer
Selecting an item category allow the display of certain fields and not others
For Ex: If PR item has an item category K for conignment then invoice receipts will not be allowed
Material Group
Material group is a method of grouping of similar materials.It is defined either by using classification or by configuration. It is important not only for seracing the materials but also in other areas of purchasing
A purchace inforecord can be created with out a material number but must require materail group and vendor
Material group is configured through Tcode WG21
And i do not find any link between them
I hope this gave you the clarity
In case of any more information required do get back
If found helpful reward accordingly
Thanks & Regards

Want a particular item category line item not to print on form

HI!
We would like our smartform for invoice not to print the line item when that item category is "ZABC". I can easily do that by hard coding in the form mentioning when item category is 'ZABC' not to print it instead I was looking for a way using the configuration flag to show whether a line item should show on the form or not . Is theer a way I can do it by this method instead of going staraight by hardcoding the item category? Is theer a way on the configuration side which I can use to indicate the line item with item category 'ZABC' not to print onto the form?
KIndly indicate of it cane be done and how.
Thanks

Hi Aarav,
Item category details are in table TVAP. For billable item category the Carry out pricing indicator (Field PRSFD) will be checked (X) and for free item category the field is blank. Check the table entry for both free and valuated item category and there you will find the difference in the table entries.
So based on the data in TVAP you can set the condition in Form for displaying the line item.

Shakeel.

Item Category for a Product

Hi All,
I need to get the Item Category Group for a product. Are there any function modules to get this. Or else which database tables to look in for.
Thanks,
Smita

Hi,
What is your Question?. Are you looking for Item Category Groups are what?.
Item category doesn't carry any value. It helps you to categorise the product as per the requirement.
e.g: If you have created a product--XYZ in CRM Product Master, there in the BASIC DATA View if you mention the ITEM CATEGORY as NORM and the DIVISION as 00.
And now if you want to use this product in an application like Sales Order (TA), then you have to do the Item category determination in IMG..and i hope you know the procedure..
even though i am mentioning here:
Path: IMG --> CRM --> Transactions --> Basic Functions --> Item Category Determination
Transaction Type --> TA
Item Category Group --> NORM
Item Category Usage --> -
Main Item Category --> -
Item category --> TAN
this is the setting you have to maintain. and here actual process goes like this
SYSTEM will check the details which you have maintained in the IMG like
1. The Transaction Type which you are using (TA)
2. The product which you are selected (XYZ)
Now SYSTEM will search the combination which you have maintained in the IMG, and if it find the result then it posts the ITEM CATEGORY (TAN) for the product.
I hope it'll satisfy your question, if not let me know then I'll try to solve it.
Unfortunately i am not able to explain it by showing you the screen shots...
