Item number length

What is the best way to set a rule for item codes to ensure the length of the item code MUST equal 14 characters including 2 - signs (character will be numberic and alphanumeric)
I.e.
1234-12345-123
Thanks Lisa

Lisa,
Try this in SP_SBO_TransactionNofication:
--validation for ItemCode in Item Master Data.
--Rules:
--1.length = 14,
--2.char = numeric, - , alpha
--3.Contain two '-' sign
if @object_type = '4' and (@transaction_type = 'A' OR @transaction_type = 'U')
begin
 if (len(@list_of_cols_val_tab_del) <> 14 )
 or (patindex('%[^0-9,a-z,A-Z,-]%',@list_of_cols_val_tab_del) <> 0) --contain special chars
 or (patindex('%-%-%',@list_of_cols_val_tab_del) = 0)
 begin
 set @error = -4
 set @error_message = 'Item code should contain 14 characters and 2 ''-'' sign'
 end
end

Can i increase the Item Number Length ?

Hi All,

Hi Esakki,
Unfortunately what you are asking is not possible nowadays. Don´t know if in new versions is planned to increase it.

Any suggestions for the ITEM NUMBER field

We sell DVDs, Books, CDs, etc. for which we have item groups setup.
We are using the ISBN based EAN barcode for the bar code field.
Any best practices for coming up with the ITEM NUMBER naming convention that people have for us.
Currently we use the short form title of the DVD or book to denote the item number.
Mike

Hi Mike,
There are always pros and cons for something like Item Code convention.
In my experience, I would like to make them in the same length whenever possible. Because they are internal codes, they should be easier to be used for both technical and non-technical users. Sometimes you might not be able to make both parties happy. In that case, you have to give up something to compromise. The most important above all is to eliminate any duplicated codes. You will find that could the most difficult job if you give more users the abilities to create Item Code. If that is a must for your business, more training will be needed for all those users.
Thanks,
Gordon

How can I find the item number?

Good day everyone!
If I have a drop down list and want to find the number of the selected item, how do I work it out?
The boundItem method gives me the current data value, but I need the item number. The mission is to add instances to another drop down list with child nodes of the value chosen in the first drop down list.
I've tried out the currentRecordNumber property, but I can't make it work. In Adobe XML Form object Model Reference they puts up
xfa.dataWindow.currentRecordNumber
but without any further reference to the current dropdownlist in that code, I don't understand how it works.
Please help me out.
best regards,
Håkon Helliesen

Hi! Thank you for your response! I still don't get it right though after trying different methods over and over again and I therefore have two questions. 1) Why do you use the getElement method to get an attribute? It would make more sense to me if you suggested the getAttribute method instead. Now, I have been trying out some different combinations of these two methods with the @ symbol, but without success. The getAttribute is described both in this forum and in the Adobe XML Form Object Model 2.2 Reference, but always in combination with recordSet. The recordSet object is a part of the sourceSet model which is used in OLEDB connections. I don't use that and wonder if I could use the getAttribute solely on the dataValue itself. I.e.the loaded XML looks somewhat like this: <cars> <carowner carproducer="Ford">Person A</carowner> <carowner carproducer="VW">Person B</carowner> <carowner carproducer="Lexus">Person C</carowner> <carowner carproducer="Ford">Person D</carowner> <carowner carproducer="Nissan">Person E</carowner> <carowner carproducer="Volvo">Person F</carowner> <carowner carproducer="VW">Person G</carowner> <carowner carproducer="Ford">Person H</carowner> </cars> var persons = xfa.resolveNode("$data.car"); for (counter=0; counter<a.length; counter++) { if (persons.nodes.item(counter).getAttribute("carproducer").value=="Ford") { listBox1.addItem(persons.nodes.item(counter).value; } }; Certainly there would be several faults in the code above, but please comment the getAttribute part. 2) All this (the methodology above) is described in the Acrobat JavaScript Scripting Reference for Acrobat 7.0 in the chapter showing the XMLData object (page 639) using a applyXPath and parse. If I use copy&paste from this manual and insert as a function in a script object,it works just fine. Are there any tips on how I can make it work on the nodeList XFA object? The following test is attached to the description of the applyXPath method: NOTE: An exception is thrown when the value of this parameter is a nodeList XFA object instead the root of an XML tree, as required. best regards, Håkon

Item number in billing document not matching with delivery document-reg

Hi All,
In the billing document the item number is coming from Shipment document. ie., there are three deliveries in a shipment. Each delivery has got one line item, ie., 10. These three deliveries are assigned to a shipment, the order in which the deliveries are attached if we take as 10 for first delivery, 20 for th esecond and 30 for the third, In billing document the billing from first delivery is getting the item number as 10, the second delivery's billing document is getting the item number as 20 and the third as 30.
Can someone please reply where and how this is configured?
Thanks and regards,
Tajudeen S.

Hi,
first look at IMG/Sales and Distribution/ Billing / Maintain Copying Control For Billing Documents / Copying control: Delivery document to billing document
There is a field "Copy item number from reference"
Maybe it helps.

Get PO and Item number from FI Cleared Items

Hi,
I need to retrieve PO and item numbers from FI cleared items.
So I retrieve the records for a particular GR/IR account from table BSIS. Based on FI document number, item number, fiscal year and company code, I get the PO and item numbers from table BSEG.
However, I cannot use BSEG in query i.e. SQ01.
What is the easiest way for me to retrive PO and items numbers?
Thanks.

Hi,
First of all, cleared items live in BSAS. BSIS is for the items that are still open.
Goto SQ02 and make a direct table read to BSAS; click 'Extras' icon; on the right part of screen click 'Create' icon; give name BSEG and choose 'Additional table' radio button. The keys suggested by the system should be good.

Ming

How to have a custom Item Number in Sales Order Items

Hello Experts,
We are creating a sales order using IDoc, sales order gets created but, its not taking value what we are populating in Item Number field for Item. Defualtly its filling 10,20 and so on...
Is there any thing that I need to maintain, so that SAP accepts the custom number for Item number.
Please help,
Thanks,
Suma

Hi Suma,
In VOV8, you can see the fields Number system..here u can see sub item increment u can enter 12 here then the next item number will be 500012, 500024 and so on. But if u want to maintain external number range then follow this steps.
Determine which external number ranges are provided for the relevant
document type. Choose the function "Maintain number range" of the
document type (for example: Purchase order -> Maintain number range)
for this purpose.
Choose a number range and note its number.
Enter the number of the desired number range.
Thanks,
Raja

Internal Item Number " Items not appearing in Sales order Line form

Hi,
We are in 11.5.7 vis. While choosing an item in the Sales order form, only the line items with type 'chargemaster' and 'vendor' appear. The items with type 'Internal item number' doesn't appear anymore. The item validation organization is set to the Master Inventory organization.(V1).
When i checked the pricelist creation screen, with product attribute - item number, the product value field is empty and greyed out for all the items.
I compiled the system Items flexfield. I tried adding a new product to the pricelist with product attribute-item number,product value - A000 .All the items (with their internal item numbers) appear while choosing the product, but the product description doesn't default and the field remains empty and greyed out.
After saving the item in the price list and if i query for this particular item, the product description appears but the product value now becomes empty and greyed out.
Any explanation as to to why this is behaving so and to rectify the same?
Regards,
Nithya

Hi,
Check item category determination (VOV4) whether the item category is determine with the combination of material item
category group,untill the material being read by the system it will not give the line item no,and also check at VOV8 for your doc
type Item no.increment Ex: 10, is maintained or not ,if not maintain and try.

Item number in sales order versus delivery not equal

Hello Guru's,
Please help me solve this problem, i created a sales order with 6 items in it and save it. Before I create the delivery I deleted the sales order item number 1,2 and 3 so the item that was redy for delivery are sales order items nubmer 4,5 and 6. When i created a delivery for this materials the item number that was in it is not 4,5,6 but 1,2,3 so the item number 4 in the sales order was considered as the 1st item in teh delivery. What will I do in order that when i create a delivery for a sales order it will capture the item number maintained in the sales order.
example :
sales order-
item   material number material description
1              123                      abc                           deleted
2               456                     def
3               789                     ghi
delivery
1               456                     def
2               789                     ghi
it should be
delivery
2               456                     def
3               789                     ghi
please help..
thanks.

Hello Ysabella,
Your requirement is justified since the numbering in the sales order would usually follow the sequence given in the customer's purchase order. If there are a lot of items in the PO, and if this sequence is messed up, then the customer would lose track of what he/she ordered and what he/she received.
To ensure that the item number from the Sales order is copied to the delivery, all you have to do is set a flag in transaction VTLA at the header level - 'Copy Item number' (V_TVCPLAK-POSVO).
I hope this helps you solve the problem.
Cheers

Item Number in Dynamic Table Quirk

I'm a new LC user, ramping up to speed on this package, thanks to everyone for the useful information here and other places.
Using the great advice and info here,
http://www.assuredynamics.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Assure-Dynamics-Building-dynamic- tables.pdf
I added a dynamic table to a form I've been working on. Most everything works, except the caption on the Row/Item number. So, I yanked out the subform with the table on it to create a simpler copy of the form to post here. Get this... it works on the simple form. So, there's something going on on my not so simple form that is preventing my Row/Item number from working.
I'm hoping that if I post both forms here, someone can help me fix this thing.
this is the form that works:
http://inthequeue.com/adobeLC/Template_excerpt.pdf
this is the form that does not work:
http://inthequeue.com/adobeLC/Template_std.pdf
Thanks in advance
John Q.

Hi John,
Try changing the code in the layout:ready event from;
this.caption.value.text = (this.parent.index + 1).toString();
To;
this.caption.value.text.value = (this.parent.index + 1).toString();
That is add another ".value".
Your form that works targets Reader 8.0 or later and the one that doesn't Targets Reader 9.0 or later, I'm guessing that is the difference.

Bruce

Populating item number in table control

I have created a custom table control. It is very similar to the VA01 or Vl01N table controls to add items. When the user enters the material name, the item number column needs to be populated.
Currently I have something like this
LOOP at i_items.
MODULE tblcntrl_modify INPUT.
ENDLOOP
MODULE tblcntrl_modify INPUT. "PAI
 posnr = sy-stepl * 10.
 more logic for input validation.
ENDMODULE
The issue I have is that when I scroll in the table control, the posnr for each item gets recalculated and they get whacked .. so I get a scenario like this
10 mat1
20 mat2
30 mat3
10 mat4
40 mat5
what is the best way to populate the item number. Thank you

hi,
u have to make one module in PAI brtn LOOP-ENDLOOP, CHAIN-ENDCHAIN

Is it possible to fill item number on a PO autocreated from PR?

Hi,
I have created a non-catalog PR (i.e. without item number) and then autocreated to PO.
On the PO, the item number field is protected. Is it possible for me to fill the item number? Thanks.
Regards
Leo

Hi Leo,
yes,I think you can modify the requisition lines during "autocreate" process to PO.
Make sure the profile "PO: Restrict Requisition line modify to quantity split" to NO.
pls see the note below:-
Use the Modify Lines window to split an existing requisition line into multiple requisition lines that represent the same or different items. For example, if the requisition line quantity is so large that a single supplier cannot fill the entire order by the need-by date, then you need to fill this order from more than one supplier. On the other hand, if you have a requisition line item that contains parts that you want to order as unique items, you can explode the requisition line into several lines. After you modify a requisition line, you cannot modify the new requisition line(s) again.
Note: You cannot modify requisition lines for outside processing items and when you are using encumbrance accounting or budgetary control.
Thanks
-Arif.
