Item Category 'TAB' - Individual PO scenario

Hi, can anyone advise how SAP derive the schedule line delivery date for item cat 'TAB'? When i switched the item cat from 'TAB' to 'TAB', system automatically propose a delivery date. However, even if i set the planned delivery time and GR processing of material in master as '0', the delivery date/material availability date for that schedule is still not current date (i set all lead time in SD to be zero as well e.g pick time, load time and transit time). I shd see the delivery as current date since there is not lead time.
Is there some setting i need to do or other master data controlling the delivery date in the SO schedule line for TAB scenario?
Thanks
Peter

Sales Order - Using Item Category "TAB Individual PO" / convert PReq to PO

All,
I am configuring for the first time utilizing Sales Document Item category "TAB" - Individual Purchase Order. I have a few questions:
Is there a best practice/baseline package configuration guide specific for this process? I have found the 'third party' baseline package J54, but nothing so far on "individual purchase order from sales order'.
During Purchase Order Create from the Purchase Req. is there a way to default Purchase Order Type "UB" stock transfer from the Purchase Requisition type NB? Currently in my system, the PO type defaulting is NB and it needs to be UB. I thought this could be done based on the schedule line "CB" configuration (spro/SD/Sales/Sales Docs/Schedule Lines/Define Schedule Lines), changing the 'item category' to 7 stock transfer. Then, for the configuration setting spro/MM/Purchasig/Purchase Req/ Define Document Types, this would carry into the mapping for purchase requisition type NB/item category stock transfer to purchase order type UB/item category stock transfer. However, when I set '7' on the schedule line CB, I then receive a hard error when creating my purchase req to set the supplying plant. I have more than one supplying plant, so I'm not sure if setting the '7' for schedule line CB is the right setting for this process. From what I've been able to find for documentation, the item category of the schedule line should be set to '0' standard. My plan is to convert the PReq's into PO's in background, but I need to default the correct PO Type. Any help would be useful.

When I perform the post Goods Issue 601 of Special Stock "E" - to the customer (once the stock has been received into the right plant), the system is not creating an Accounting/FI Document to relieve the inventory and charge cost of goods sold. I have reviewed automatic account assignment entries and these appear correct for 601 E. Are there special settings for special stock "E" that I need to consider.
If you cannot answer all of these questions, but can answer one of them, I am most interested in teh last question above.

Hi Reazuddin,
What I don't understand is why:
if I don't create PO --> I can create Outobund Delivery in Individual Purchase Order but if I create PO (not MIGO) I cannot create OBD in IPO. (Note: in both cases I agree PGI is not possible)
The flowchart is: Sale Order (IPO) --> Purchase Requisition --> Purchase Order (PO) --> MIGO (inbound delivery) --> MIRO (Vendor invoice verification) --> Outbound delivery ( delivery [OBD] + picking + posting[PGI]) --> Sales Invoice
As per your comments:
System will not stop you to create delivery, though you customize delivery item cat: as Check min qtty "0" - error message. because system checks for PGI qtty, but not the delivery qtty.
But then in the case I create Sale order (IPO) + PO (without MIGO) --> the system should not stop me executing Outbound Delivery. It should stop me only if I execute Posting goods issue. But actually in this case, the system is stopping me at outbound delivery.
I agree with Posting Goods Issue behaviour. It is logical in the following cases:
Only Sale order (IPO) created --> PGI is not possible
Sale Order (IPO) created + PO created --> PGI is not possible
Sale Order (IPO) created + PO created + MIGO executed (inbound) --> PGI is possible.
Thank you very much for your feedback.

Item Category TAB recognise unrestricted stock

Folks,
we have item category TAB on our back to back sales orders and will create an individual pourchase order.
However, there are occassion when there is stock and we want the ATP check to consider and not necessarily create a purchase req.
is there any way to achieve this?
Or because TAB has Special stock indicator "E" type it is standard SAP and will always not consider stock?
Thanks

Hi Milton,
Normally in such scenario the process followed is different.
When you have stock of the material with you then its no longer a individual requirement. It will be a normal sales process. For that you have to have item category TAN.
so, during sales order creation you have 'tan' and if availablity check runs and finds stock not available, then the user will manually change the item category to 'TAB'. and then the individual requirement will start.
For this the item category TAB should be assigned at the 'manual' column in Item cat determination
This is normal std process.
In standard TAB is used for materials with General item category ' BANC'. for such material, there is not availablity check activated, so it wont look at stock.
IF this does not answer your question, then give more detail about your business scenario.

Change Partners for item category - TAB

Hi All,
Why it is not possible to have different ship-to-party at item level for TAB orders.
For item category TAB, the partner functions is maintained as "T" which is "No item Partner". Can you help me understand why SAP has maintained like this.
Please provide me a quick response.

HI,
TAB item category is used for Make to Order senario, thats why its do not have Multiple Ship to party or Partner determination for Item category..
2nd Make to Order is a Order contaning Customer Specific requirements like ur preparing a proto type for customer requirement (Like new development).So they break down the sales order into diff -diff parts U know (we call it BOM) & we get the delivery date s & quanties for that Make to order from Production Order because here Sub items are related to main item like...
Computer ordered with entena....
In make to order system brekdown the req.into...
1Monitor
2 CPU
3. entena
4.TV card etc...But all these belongs to 1 single material (even though they are also a individual material)
thats why we dont have a provision of partner function for item category TAB....
I hope i am able to explain u.......Pls. ask me if nathing is not clear to you......
NOTE: You can always have a diff. Ship to Party at Header level.......
Regards

The purchase requisition is automatically created, there's no availability check behind item category "TAB". The stock is managed in the special stock segment (sales stock).
If the case when the stock is available is exception, you could change the item category manually to a normal one (e.g. TAN).

Automatic delievry with item category TAB

Hi gurus,
we have a requirement where we are using the Item category TAB for creation of purchase requistion.BUt we want the automatic delivery also be created in the background for this item category.
No settings have been changed for the std TAB item category.Order type OR has the A for immediate delivery.
Still when we create a sales order a order is created but no delivery is created.
Please suggest
AJ

Hi,
There might be several reasons why it might not be creating a delivery document. The best way to find out is to go to VL01N and put in the sales order number, shipping point and the delivery date and press enter. It will give you an error why it is not able to create the sales order.
Correct the error and try by creating another sales order and save it. System should create a delivery automatically.
Some of the most likely reasons that might be preventing the delivery from being created are
a. Is your document complete
b. Does it have a shipping point or a storage location (not mandatory) in the sales order
c. Is the material created in the respective warehouse
d. Is the right schedule line category been determined
Hope this helps
PS: Technically it is possible is SAP. However, this is not recommended Logically and Functionally.
Thanks

Item Category TAB is not looking for Special Stock.

Hello,
We have an issue while using item category TAB. For sales orders having item category TAB is allowing to create the Delivery note even though there is no stock received (GOODS RECEIPT) and assigned against this sales order stock.
Ideally the system should not allow to create the Delivery note. However it is allowing to create the Delivery note.
Checked the correspoding Schedule line that was determined : CB.
CB in VOV6 the correct settins were made as below.
The checks for
Sched.line cat.        CB    Indiv.Purchase Order
Movement Type         601   GD goods issue:delvy
Order Type                NB    Purchase requisition
Item Category             0     Standard
Acct Assgt Cat.         M     Ind. cust. w/o KD-CO
Incompl.proced.       31    Sched.Line w/PurReq.
Here we have the purchase requistion number on the schedule line tab, and in VBAP could see the it as a special stock item with the indicator E.
Ideally the flow is ONLY when the GOODS RECEIPT has done against this sales order stock, then the system should allow to create the deilvery.
Checked the copy control settings in VTLA and for TAB the Data transfer routine is 101.
Please help to understand why the system allows to create delivery when there is no GR made against this.
Thanks in advance.
Ram.

Hi Navaneeth,
Thanks for your response.
What i need is the SYSTEM SHOULD NOT allow me to create the Delivery. In this case it is allowing me to create the Delivery.
VOV7-TAB-> Special stock indicator is set as 'E'.
Inspite of it is set as E the system is allowing and ONLY at the time of PGI it is looking for special stock and pops up with the error message:
Sales order stock 6941 000010 does not exist
Message no. M7184
I expect the system should not allow to create the delivery at first chance.
Please help if it requires any other settings?
Best Regards,
Ram

Account assignment question (for subcontracting item category)

Hello
Is it possible to have a account assignment category with a consumption posting indicator V work with a subcontracting item category L?
Our scenario is that a SD item category TAB auto generates a Subcontracting PO with account assignment M and item category L.
The problem with account assignment M is that it references sales order, and does not propose BOM component material/quantity, like a standalone subcontracting movement (541 reference to PO)
We want to issue components to the subcontractor referencing a PO, and maintain visibility thru ME2O (Which account assignment M wont allow).
Is this possible ?
I tried tweaking the account assignment category M by changing the consumption posting indicator to V.
This allowed me to do the subcontracting issue 541 movement referencing a PO.
However, I got 2 accounting errors at MIGO.
No direct postings possible to G/L account 03-010
I then changed the FS00 settings to allow direct postings, but got the next error and was stuck. I guess if these accounts are postable, my problem is solved but I dont know how to do that!
Acct. 03-010 for trans./event key BSX, postable directly
If anyone is knowledgeable on account assignments or knows how I can solve these, I would greatly appreciate your input.
Regards
Ken

Thanks for replying again, Gopala.
Let me clarify, the SAP error I am receiving is at MIGO, following the successful transfer posting at MB1B (mtype 541 referencing the PO number. If I can get the proper account postings at MIGO (as in a standalone MM subcon scenario) here, my problem is resolved.
When I hit post at MIGO (Finished Product mov type +101/Component reduction is -543 O) I receive the error "Acct. 03-010 for trans./event key BSX, postable directly " I then goto FS00 (G/L accounts) and uncheck the 'post automatically only' box. But then when I goto re-post at MIGO, I get the message
"No direct postings possible to G/L account 03-010"
So I am stuck in this circular error.
Is this correctable?
Thanks Again
Ken

Sale order with item category TAN not getting displayed in md04

Defaulting Item category in Equp BOM

Dear Experts,
I have a problem at the time of creating Equipment BOM, i am mentioning all the details in Header data and while entering the material numbers, it is asking to enter the item category.
In our scenario item category for all engg materials is L only. I want to default that field with L. I searched in IMG, but could not get it.
Anybody can guide me to solve this problem??
Thanks and Regards,
B. Praveen

hi
i think you can make using IMG settings under bill of material ,or use T code OICA and maintain Make User-Specific Settings
You can specify the following default values:
item increment
item category for the "New Materials Items" screen
item category for the "New Document Items" screen
item category for the "New Class Item" screen
material provision indicator
PM assembly (maintenance BOMs)
dialog print options (BOM evaluations)
Recommendation
You should maintain the following values:
item category for the "New Material Items" screen
item category for the "New Document Items" screen
You can define default values which are valid for all users by making entries for a user 'DUMMY'

Updating the Item category in a Free of Charge order

Hi all,
I am currently working in a requirment on Free of Charge orders.
Existing scenrio is : In Free of Charge orders, if there is a BOM material is associated in the sub item, then the particular product's item category is not editable, so we can't alter it manually. SAP Note : 796926 says there are restrictions for usage of free of charge transaction types when the sub item involved is BOM.
Requirement: To make this item category editable in this scenario.
So we are currently looking for an option to make an enhancement to SAP standard program for this. I tried to debug standard modules from the point where we open an order. But not able to find any significant place which deals with disabling this item category.
Any suggestions on the SAP CRM program which deals with this will be very helpful. Thanks in advance.

hi
Once the BOM is created it is not possible to change the item category,either you have to delete the material and re-enter the material with different item category
regards
thyagarajan

Setting for new item category

Hi friends,
Company's requirement is to Create new Item Category and respective settings for normal business process.
please let me know, what all the mandetory setting which i need to do for normal business process.
As i know , item category determination in VOV4.
please tell me, the main mandetory setting which should be maintained.
thanks in advance.
VARMA

Dear Ravi Varma,
Please copy the standard ITEM CATEGORY based on your scenario and then save in VOV6.
Assign the same for your document type in VOV4.
Another important thing you have to keep in mind is you have to include this NEW ITEM CATEGORY in the copy controls as well.
(in VTLA & VTFL)
Please check and revert back.
