Item grouping into groups and subgroups

In case there are a lot of items in Business One, companies usually group these by item groups. In some cases when there are thousands of items, these are further on divided into subgroups by using UDFs. Then when you are making, say a sales order, you first look for the item group and then for the subgroup. This is where it gets tricky. You can only display the code when browsing for subgroups. It is not possible to display the value within the description field (I do not know how to do it). The code lenght is limited to 8 characters and hence makes it difficult to write a proper description for this subgroup. Is there any way to overcome this issue?

Hello,
thank you Gordon and Deepak for your efforts. First level grouping (B1 standard) by item groups is working fine, the second level just displays codes. The issue is that the value within udf-field on item master data card (on the right-hand side) does display correctly. However when I search for this item, say when making a sales order, I will just get the value, not the description. It makes no difference if I select it in the document settings to display as visible.
Codes and description for this udf-field are as follows:
Code Description
100    Roses
110    Tulips
120    Lilies
Now when I sort this field by subgroup value, it only displays 100, 110 etc.
All help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Samuli Ajo

Pharma specific fields (group and subgroup)

Hallo,
I have problems with specific Pharma fields (group and subgroup) in CRM Mobile 2007 SP02.
Some business partners have group and subgroup in pharmaceuticals bookmark in transaction BP. But in mobile solution I have these business partners without group and subgroup. The combobox for group and subgroup is empty too.
In table SMOKNA1 (in CRM server and in CRM mobile are columns KVCGROUP and KVCSGROUP empty). I tried make initial load for object CRM_DNL_BPGROUP, but all is the same.
Have anyone suggestion what I made wrong? Which subscription I need for these attributes.
Thank you for your help.
With regards,
Jiri Halmich

Hi,
the issue with the customizing data is solved as Jiri already mentioned above.
Btw: After synchronizing an adapter object you don't need to run an extract as this is done automatically by the system - and only for the changes (delta sync), not for the complete subscription...
Concerning the missing data in smokna1: For my understanding this is a standard error. You should create an OSS message for that.
If you prefer to solve it at your own you would have to do some coding in the Mobile bridge. Using the EEWB dosn't help as the fields are already there in the tables and BDocs.
Of course you also can chose a "quick & dirty" solution: Create a new CDB table, containing only the sfakna1 and the both BP group fields, define an adapter object which synchronizes the both fields from BUT000 to this table and calculates the sfakna1 field by keygen. Run this adapter object by using a batch job at least once a day. Create a new sBDoc and qBDoc based on this table. Do some small coding in BOL to retrieve the both properties from the new CDB table into the both BOCAPGEN properties.

The impact and the difference item group and warehouse

Dear All,
I am confusing what is the difference between item group and warehouse in continuous stock system and perpetual system and their impact in accounting flows. I have explored and read manual pdf files but still fail since I have heard one of addon can only apply or use if the gl account by is warehouse.
I appreciate your answer. TIA
Regards,

Hi..
A warehouse is a commercial building for storage of goods. Warehouses are used by manufacturers, importers, exporters, wholesalers, transport businesses, customs, etc. They are usually large plain buildings in industrial areas of cities and towns. They come equipped with loading docks to load and unload trucks; or sometimes are loaded directly from railways, airports, or seaports.
Storage bin management          Warehouse movements (product)
Planning and monitoring          Control of WM system and
Inventory control               automated control systems
Stock placement into the warehouse occurs after you or the system has generated a Transfer Order (TO). This Transfer Order will direct you to a location in the warehouse where to get the goods and where to place the them. Once you close out the TO and verify the quantity the system will reflect a new location.
A storage unit type groups loading
equipment with similar properties, for example europallets, wire baskets,
or tanks. Europallets are defined as storage unit type europallet, wire
baskets as storage unit type wire basket, and so on, in Customizing for
each warehouse number.

Creating Employee Group and subgroup in OM

Propose or change automatically, Employee Group and Subgroup.

Dear all, when executing an exit Action, thru transaction PA40, what's the best way to propose by default/change automatically, the employee group/subgroup?
Example: I want to change the employee group from '1' (Active) to '2' (Inactive), but the fields are disabled for input.
Do i have to do this thru the enhancement "PBAS001", or is there any way to do this thru configuration?
Sincerely,
Hugo Ferreira

I was searching for something in SDN and got this post.
Though it's a very late reply, whatever Sreenu has told is correct.
In the table T529A, you can define the employment status wehther it has to be active, withdrawn or inactive.
This field is input disabled in the action and the values will be defaulted from the configuration.
But Changing the employee group and employee subgroup , we can't change. If that is what is required, the values might depend on the configuration.
And even through some enhancement also we can't change. because, for IT0000 no enhancement are available. Even though the fields are from IT0001, I doubt it can be changed through enhancemnet.
If you have already achieved it through enhancemnet, please let us know.
Thanks,

Issue in uploading Employee Group and subgroup in LSMW

Hi Experts,
I`m using LSMW to upload IT 1013 data thru transaction PP01. When i run the LSMW in forground mode , then everything seems to work fine. But when run in background mode, I find that the records are not getting uploaded and its giving me some error like "Runtime error RAISE_EXCEPTION has occurred".
Any input regarding this would be helpful and appreciateable.
Regards,
Farhana

Hi Anatha,
I tried PP02 and it also shows me the same error and also the my data files has only 4 records. I`m using only 4 records for testing, so it could not be a mass data load issue too.

Change employee group and sub group

Hi all,
During the new hire if an employees group and subgroup are enetered wrongly, how shouldl they be corrected. We have scenarios when the emplooyes group and sub group are corrected after a month or so and the users want to correct the same
How do we do it?

Goto PA40 reselect the same Hire action for this employee and click execute. In IT0000 screen enter the new EG/ESG.
and save it. Then Save the IT0001, then fill rest of the infotypes.
If you have already process the payroll and the new Emp group / Sub group is in different payroll area you wont be able to change it.

HOW TO ADD / EDIT AN ITEM GROUP

I am in the Item Master Data window and am entering a new Item Number. I want to associate it with a new Item Group from the pull down menu but it will not allow me to add to this list. How can I add a new Item Group? Also, how can I edit a current Item Group title to change it to another name?

Hi
To solve your issues ,
Go to system administration >setup>Inventory-->Item group .
If you need to Add --Press Ctrl A
If you want to edit -- find the item group -- and edit it .
This should solve your problem
Thank you

Default accounts on item group set up

Hi,
This is a new company. I set up posting periods. I want to upload the item groups using DTW. The DTW upload fails because of error:
One of the inventory accounts is missing , 'Inventory Account' [Message 173-6]
I tried to manually enter an item group and get the same error.
The accounts do not default in. I expected that they would default in because all the accounts are filled in under Administration > Setup > Financials > GL account determination.
Why do the accounts not default from there?
Thanks

Hello,
Does not matter you have mapped acount in Administration > Setup > Financials > GL account determination.
you must be filled account code in Item Group template otherwise it will crease error message when you will make entries in transaction time .
So better is please filled 4 to 5 manadatory account in templale.
As you said you are also unable to make new gruop without filled account code then this is the indication or indicator without this code you cant upload same.
Thanks

Copy Express Item Groups Transaction revenue Account not Found

Currently using Copy Express.
1. Have successfully loaded COA
2. Manually entered G/L account determinaition and tax codes
3. Error below is occuring when trying to Copy Item Groups and Warehouses. The items groups and Warehosues are failing.
Transaction created by document was not found, 'Revenue account'.
NOTE: the accounts determined for each item group in the source database all exist in the target database.
Can any please assist in explaining why this is happening and how I could prevent this from occuring without having to mannually create warehosues and items?
Thanks Very much
Lisa

Hi Lisa,
I have a suggestion.
The Revenue account in question may be problematic.
Can you try to change to another revenue account in your source db, and try to copy warehouse to target DB?
1.goto source db,and search for the specific warehouse and change the
revenue account to another account
2.and copy warehouse to target db
Hope this will be helpful.
Kind regards,
Willy
