L2N and G2N item categories (Determine Cost checkbox)

Hello,
The SAP standard setting for the L2N and G2N item categories is: Determine Cost = 'X'.
This causes the VPRS condition type to be pulled into the credit/debit memo request.
We don't want that and therefore we are planning on deselecting that checkbox in config.
I hesitate to change SAP standard config though.
Is there anything I am missing?
Will deselecting that 'Determine Cost' checkbox for L2N and G2N cause any problems?
Any insght appreciated.
Thanks,
Anisha.

Well if your company do not want to adjust the cost of goods sold when any credit / debit is raised, then yes you can go ahead.
Thanks

Use of cost relevant Item categories L2N and G2N for debit and credit memo

Dear Forum memebers,
For credit and debit memo one of the customised client repot is showing cost value which is not expected for credit and debit memo in the invoice register.
This is due to use of L2N and G2N which are cost relevant item categories.
Why should debit and credit memo item category should be cost relevant.??

How do I read txt file and add items to dropdownlist or checkbox

I want to add items to a dropdown or check box by reading from a text file(and select one of them). (I donot use any table or database). The list of items is sometimes upto 20MB and hence cannot populate using session bean.I want items to be added to either checkbox or listbox during a button action. I have done this for textarea but unable so far to acheive for checkbox or listbox. I use following code which does not work:
public String button3_action() {
try{
FileReader fr = new FileReader "F:/CreatorProjects/checkboxtst.prs");
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fr);
String s;
while((s=br.readLine())!=null) {
dropdown1.setValue(s);
br.close();
fr.close();
}catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return null;
I know I cant just transplant textarea code for dropdownlist or checkbox.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Runtime error in kob5, kob1 and line items display in Cost Analysis in ko03

Hello everyone,
I would like to ask for your expert advice on a situation we need to have a solution. Let me tell you what happened.
In ko88, we tried to settle an internal order to a final asset using 'partial capitalization'. We encountered an error 'Settlement amount is greated than available amount'. I checked in kob5 and we have two line items: 90,000 and 30,000. Both have to be settled to three different final assets namely asset 1, asset 2 and asset 3. The settlement rule was as follows at first:
Line 1: 90,000 to be settled to asset 1, asset 2 and asset 3 at 65,000; 40,000 and 15,000, respectively.
Line 2: 30,000 to be settled to asset 1, asset 2 and asset 3 at 65,000; 40,000 and 15,000, respectively.
Due to the error, we changed the settlement rule following these directions:
1. Remove the settlement rules that we had so we can start anew.
2. Choose the first line item and click on "Final Settlement".
3. Enter the necessary settlement details (total should equal to 90,000 only).
4. Go back and save.
5. Choose the second line item and click on "Final Settlement".
6. Enter the necessary settlement details (total should equal to 30,000).
7. Go back and save.
8. Then, check again the distribution rules set.
Everything was saved and done correctly. So, we tried to do ko88 this time. But, the previous error 'Settlement amount is greated than available amount' still occured.
I went back to kob5 and when I ran it, a runtime error occured. I went to see the actual line items in kob1, and I encountered the same runtime error. I went to see in ko03>cost analysis>the actual debit line items, and I encountered the same runtime error. Were my actual line items lost? How do I retrieve them?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Peter

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.

User Exits for Item Category Determination based on Item Category Usage

Hi Gurus,
If I need to create a new item category usage code and perform item category determination using the new item category usage code, is there a user exit or function module which is able to perform this?
Thanks & Regards

Hi Lawrence Tam,
If you are going to create a new item category usage to determine an item category, you need to add a new line in transaction VOV4 for the new combination of sales document type + Item Cat. group + usage + high leve item cat. to determine the item category.
Thanks in advance,
Mariano.

Difference between REN and G2n and their process flow

Hi,
I have one doubt in REN and G2N item category.In which scenario we will use this?
As per my knowledge when the customer return the goods then the system will trigger REN item category.Here is delivery related billing.
Process Flow> RE (order type)---LR(return delivery)---RE( credit invoice)
In second scenario, when the customer doesn't send back the goods and the comnay decide to give him credit notes at that time we use G2N item category.Here no goods movement is recorded.Here is order related billing.
Process flow is CR(order type)----
G2( Credit Invoice)
If my understanding is wrong then please guide me.
Regards
Debasish

Hi
REN: If customer sends back the goods due to various reasons, Return sales order needs to be created for which item category is going to be REN, Followed by delivery and PGR(Post Goods Receipt) and billing.
G2N: If there is any exess amout charged or some discount missing in the billing to the customer, this value can be adjusted to teh customer by creating credit memo request and it is not relevant for delivery. Subsequently Credit memo (BILLING).

Ravi Duggirala

Difference between Item categories M and W

What is the difference between the Item Categories ' M ' and ' W ' ?. When & where these item categories are used?

HI,
The item categories M and W are intended for the entry of contract items without
specification of the material number.
Item category M
Recommended for similar materials of the same price. These can be materials with
different material numbers or materials without material master records.
You have set up a contract with your vendor covering various types of writing
paper (lined, squared, blank, two-/four-hole prepunched, etc.). The different types
of paper have the same weight, the same quality, and the same price.
When entering this contract item of category M, you enter the short description,
material group, target quantity, unit of measure, and price, but no material number.
The short description must then be entered in the contract release order (for
example, lined, two-hole prepunched).
You also have the option of releasing materials with a material master record
against this contract item in the release order, provided that the material group and
purchase order unit of measure agree.
Item category W
Recommended for materials belonging to the same material group but with
different prices. Item category W can only be used in value contracts.
You have set up a contract with your vendor for various types of cable. The
contract is to cover all types of cable included in the vendor's price list. However,
the exact type is only determined when a purchase order is created for a certain
cable. Instead of creating one contract item for each type of cable in the vendor's
assortment, you could enter item category W and the appropriate material group
(for example, cable). From the short text, it would then be clear that the contract
item covers all types of cable supplied by the vendor in question. Each release
order issued against this contract would then contain the exact specification of
cable type and quantity (for example, double-shielded coax, 1 meter), and price.
When entering the contract item, you enter only the short text and the material
group. You do not enter the target quantity or price. It is possible to enter
additional conditions. For example, you can enter a discount in the header
conditions if the vendor grants a discount on all POs referencing the contract. The
discount is calculated automatically when a contract release order is created.
The price, the target quantity, and the material number are not specified until you
create a release order. The relevant material master record must be assigned to
the same material group as the contract item referenced. If the contract release
order does not contain a material number, it must have a valid account assignment
(such as a cost center).

Item category determination in shipment cost

Dear Experts,

Item categories are re-determining based on batch split during delivery

Hello All,
During delivery item categories of bill of materilas are changing based on batch split.
Scenerio: item level bill of materials configured.
Ex: COMPUTER is main item and item category group is LUMP and item category is TAP
but it is relevent for billing as per client requirement
key board, cpu and moniter are bills of materilas item category group is NORM and item category is ZZTA
These above items are relevent for delivery and not relevent for billing
Problem: During batchsplit in delivery item category determining as "TAN" for item category ZZTA
That can be shown when we click on batch split button for sub line item (moniter, cpu) category ZZTA
all batch split line items are copied to billing and getting account determination pricng error because of TAN is relevent for billing
Could you suggest me to prevent the TAN item category for batch split in delivery
Should TAE item category to be maintained for delivery item categories
currently delivery item categories are configured as shown below
del doc type=zlf , item cat. group=lumf, higher level item cat.=tap, No default item catgory
Thanks & Regards

Hi
In the asign item cateogories use usage CHSP (Batch split) for norm and assign default item category as ZZTA. This will get determined your item category when you use batch split.
Spro --> Sales --> Sales document Item --> Assign item categories

Order type, Invoice type and Item categories for Nota Fiscal Brazil

Hi eveyone,
we have a company in Brazil implemented in SAP using a different SD Order type, Invoice Type and Item categories
as our mother company in Switzerland. Reason of that is because of the nota fiscal customization for Brazilian legal requirements.
We startet with a Project worldwide to rollout a global template within sales and distribution and are facing now exactly
the problem with those different order type, item categories and Invoice type.
Our local SAP partner in Brazil told as based on best practise we should have different types.
I checked the customization and it seems I can't use e.g.: the same Order type for Brazil and Switzerland because
the activation flag for nota fiscal is linked to the order type and no sales organization can be setted to slplitt the different processes.
Someone knows if there are some possibilities (maybe trough user exits or badi's) to use globally the same dovument types, item categoreis... globally?
Thanks in advance
Gaspare Guttadauro

Hi Gaspare Guttadauro,
I would strongly recommend to use the different document types and item categories as suggested by SAP. Since Brazil do have one of the complex taxation process in place hence to determine correct pricing the different document type will be required. Also functionalities like CFOP determination and nota fiscal relevance can be maintained.
Please feel free to revert the forum in case of any doubts.
Cheers

Item categories in shipment cost document

Hi guys,
I have a problem with creation of shipment cost documents. I have maintained two shipment cost item categories, one for ship to warehouse and one for ship to customer. Problem is that when creating the shipment cost document, both item categories appear. Item category Z001 and Z002. Z001 has correct price, Z002 will have 0 value. Any ways that I can stop Z001/Z002 from appearing when it has a 0 value?
Thanks,
Jimmy

Hi,
I have serious doubts whether such setting would exist in standard system... So, what you can do is to solve it via developments:
SPRO > LE > Transportation > System Modifications > User Exits For Transportation
SPRO > LE > Transportation > System Modifications > Business Add-Ins in Transportation
Please check help for these customizing nodes.
(Maybe "BADI_SCD_SAVE"?)
However, maybe it would be worth considering whether you really needs two item categories.
Please also check what SAP help says for SPRO > LE > Transportation > Shipment Cost > Shipment Cost Document > Shipment Cost Types and Item Categories
You can, for example, create several items for a shipment stage per cost type. You may wish to do this if you want to post the basic freight and a surcharge for the stage to different G/L accounts. If you need to post to several accounts for one cost type, you can specify several item categories in this table for the shipment cost typeand the cost type.

Csaba
