Item category T (TEXT)

HI
IAM NE TO SAP MM
CAN ANY ONE EXPLAIN WHERECAN WE USE ITEM CTEGORY .WITH SCENERIO.

NOTE: Please Don't Use CAPS when posting question..
Item Category:
You can Use T,D,K Item categories if you are not using the Material Master for the creation of PO.
But if you use D, K you have to enter the Account assignment category in the PO.
But if you use the item category" T" there is no necessity of Account assignment category. and here system will not ask for any qty or price to enter, just if you want a PO for external purpose you can create the PO by using this T item category.

CRM Item Category for Text Sales Order

Hi,
we are using SAP CRM 6.0 and I am looking for a way to define a transaction item type in a way that I can create a standard sales order with a text item (no material number).
In ECC, I would choose item type B="text" (e.g. item category TATX), however I couldn't find any similar category in CRM.
Can you give me any ideas?
Thanks
Anke

Hi Anke,
You can create an item category which has item category BUS2000128- Text item.

Item Category Group in BOM

Dear Gurus
I want to create the BOM for Computer = Screen + Herdisk + Key board
1) Main Item Level processing
I have maintained item category group ERLA in MMR (Sales 2 screen) of the finished product
(Computer 1 ).
What item category group should be maintained for sub items?
2) Subitem Level Processing
I have maintained item category group LUMF in MMR (Sales 2 screen) of the finished product
(Computer 2).
What item category group should be maintained for sub items?
3) Also explain about how to mainatin the master records (CS01).
Regards,
Ashish

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"

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?

Purpose and use of item category Text (6)

What is the Purpose and use of item category Text (6).
it is meant for which biz scenario?

Thanks for your explanation.
Sorry I am not convinced on this biz scenario what has been posted. Why to enter just the text in the form of PO and maintain record in the system . One can send a word document or simply put a call to outside party for sending legal document.
Moreover it hardly matters whether the PO is of less value or nil value. In standard also we use free goods in PO also. SAP, I think without any specific reason will not provide item category Text "T"- there must be some strong reason for it.
Also please note that item category text T is also allowed in scheduling agreement for document type LP and LPA. then simply entering text in scheduling agreement for item category does not make any business sense.
If anybody has come across the biz scenario, please share in the forum. I searched and went to thread on similar topic but could not find any convincing answer on this.

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
Moon

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!
I hope this helps.

Which situation should we use the text item with the item category TATX

Dear experts!
Thank you for your attention!
I am confused with text item (TATX).
which situation should we use the text item with the item category TATX????
Someone told me that the text item is dummy and should be used as a manual of certain standard item. But the manual may be a book or several papers and it also takes up some inventory not a dummy.
So, could some body tell me what the text item (TATX) exact is and what function it has.
Best regard!
Tangdark

Hi,
you can use TATX if you like to enter a text and to print some information between the item lines.

Ill give you other function used with item category T in one of our latest projects:
They have contracts and PO generated through SRM. so if you need any addition or revision to the PO/contract, they created another document type as PR called revision PR for contract and revision PR for PO, to let the SRM know that the current contract/PO needed revision, so in this document they first create a line with item category T and put in short text and quantity 1, then automatically through customizing the system asks for contract/PO number, you input the number and the value gets inputted from PO/contract, thus created a link with the exisitng PO. Then second line follows with the revision required e.g. quantity or value added and then document is saved, and then this document is trasmitted to SRM and through document type and item category T they know that which PO/contract revision is needed and the revision of quantity/value is added to the PO/contract.
Same goes with integration which means a PR already exisits and another PR is created to integrate with the already exisitng PR.

How to control item category in ME21n via authorization

Hi,
When creating/changing PO in ME21N/ME22N how can I give access to only certain item categories via authorization objects.
Many thanks for your help.
Alain.

Hi,
Please check the following:
If to a certain document type is assigned the 'blank' item
category (Category Text : Standard) for the document type in customizing ( Transaction olme ->
Purchase Order -> Define Document Types -> Select Document Type 'ZSVC'
-> Click Allowed Item Categories ), the system therefore would allow for the
item category to be left blank when the PO is created/saved, even if the
field selection key specifies it to be mandatory.Please note that in
case of the item category, the field selection key customizing is
actually not considered here but only the item categories defined.
If you would like to require an item category to be entered for the PO,
then kindly delete the standard item category type and other item category types rom the customizing of
the document type you use.

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,

Item Category determination in Sales Order

Hi
How to know, how item category determined in Sales Order. Is there any analysis available in Sales Order level, similar to output or text determination.
Problem here is in a particular sales order, item category is different compared to configuration. Nothing is recorded in change log. How to know, whether system determined this item category or user changed manually.
Regards
Uma

Hi
Problem here is in a particular sales order, item category is
different compared to configuration
I cant take this arguement
Sales order item cate will picked via the config maintained in VOV4
item category is different compared to configuration
Configuration someone might have changed after that sales order created
Nothing is recorded in change log. How to know,
whether system
determined this item category or user changed manually.
During order creation if you are inputting the allowed manual item category manually in salesorder then that is not a change
Hence it doesnot get recorded (VA01 T code)
During order creation a default item cate gets determined if you chnge that to manual, then that is also not a change
Hence it also doesnot get recorded (VA01 T code)
But in VA02 if you change the item category manually then it is recorded in change log
No item category determination analysis is available in standard and not reqd too
In your case only this could have happened
Configuration someone might have changed after that sales order created

Raja
