Link Material Type Item Category

Hi,
How can i make the link between the material type and the item category when the material has NO BOM ? Otherwise each time a PM order si created the item category has to be filled (stock or no stock). I know it is there i just can't find it.
Thanks,
Olivier

Hello,
Can you brief me on how it works?
When i checked the setting of link item category with the material type then it shows me that the item category is to be defined based on the material type and maintenance plant. But what is the relation in term of the order type i.e. whenever i create any order with a specifica order type, the default item category should get reflected on the componenets tab of the order?
Can you guide me how to do this setting.

  • Link material type and item category.

    Hi,
    Can you brief me on how following setting in SPRO works?
    Plant maintenance - Maintenance and service processing - Maintenance and service order - General data - Define default values for componenet item category
    When i checked, this setting is to link item category with the material type and item category is defined based on the material type and maintenance plant. But what is the relation in term of the order type i.e. whenever i create any order with a specifica order type, the default item category should get reflected on the componenets tab of the order?
    Is it possible?

  • Payments based on inventory type, item category...

    Hi,
    I am trying to develop a report to show unrecorded liabilities - basically, I need to find out if there are payments/accounting documents/invoice number existing in the system, that has no connecting documents in purchase or sales side. I am able to do this using REGUP/BSEG/VBAP/EKPO (and corresponding header) tables.
    I am stuck at one requirement though.
    "Segregate payments in to inventory, non-inventory, no-link categories based on product/service (item type/item category) or/and vendor type (inventory/non-inventory)."
    Can someone please tell me how to divide payments as mentioned above? Is it based on material type?
    Thanks in advance!

    If FI postings for inventory and non-inventory are posted to different G/L accounts then you should be able to filter that using HKONT field in BSEG. On the purchasing side, if G/L account number won't suffice then check if you can use cost element field KOSTL. On the sales side you should be able to filter this using PRCTR.
    If this approach cannot be used then you have to drill down to VBEP table and check if there is a movement type attached to this order item (for third party items, check for VBEP-LFREL = X). This will be accurate depending on how sales configuration was set up.
    On the purchasing side, use a combination Item category and Account assignment category in table EKPO to identify and segregate the totals.

    PS: The first approach is the best approach and I hope that is how they have configured it in your system

  • Intercompany transfer for material with item category Erla

    Hi,
    I have a typical requirement.
    I am creating a value pack(finish good) with item category mainatined as ERLA(while mat master creation) which consistes of 2 items.
    I have maintained a BOM for this value pack(finished material).
    Since ERLA is maintained,I can explode BOM in Sales Order creation(correct me if I am wrong)
    This is okay for sales cycle.
    I have following requirement
    I want to do a Intecompany stock transfer of this value pack(i.e. finish good) with doc type NB.
    The problem in this is that it gives error while creating outbound delivery stating some entries missing in table (do not exactly remember)for NLCC/DOGN.. something like that.
    If anyone has done this type of scenario earlier then request you to send me the configuration settings required to be done in terms of Item category/Delievry combination etc etc .
    This is quite urgent for me.
    If there is any different way to map this Intecompany Stock Transfer of Material (with Item category maintained as ERLA) then please let me know.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi
    You maintain "Item category group" NORM in the Sales org 2 tab, this is used for sales organisation and distribution channel for Outboumd delivery.
    The "General Item category group" does not refer to the Sales organisation and distribution channel, this is used for Inbound delivery.
    In can create the material master in MM01, specify the "Material type" and "Industry sector" .
    For, Item category determination in VOV4, you need to assign like this as below,
    Sales doc type + Item category group + usage + Item category of higher level item = Item category.
    Item category determination for free item,
    OR + NORM + FREE + TAN = TANN.
    As beacuse you are giving the normal material as free, therefore you must give the indication to the system to use it as free material by specifying the usage as "FREE".

  • Delivery Output determiantion using Delivery type & Item category

    Dear all,
    I am facing a problem while triggering output using Delivery type/Item Category access in access sequence xyz. I have maintained the condition record for this access and did all the necessary customization settings.
    When i maintain the condition record for other access in Access sequence xyz the out put is being triggered.
    After some analysis i found that the Delivery type/Item category is using different communication structures.
    ie. Delivery type is using KOMKBV2-LFART. where as Item Category is using KOMPBV2-PSTYV. The output is a header output.
    can any one explain the problem here in maintaining different comm structures for an access for generating header output.
    Thanks in advance for your inputs.
    Best Regards
    Satish

    Hi,
    You mean to say its not triggering the output automatically.....
    If that is the case then goto the condition type in IMG and in tab "default values" make the dispatch time as "send immediately when saving the application" this will automatically triggers the output based on the condition records.....

  • Order type & Item Category

    Dear SAPers,
    i used to work with the standard Order Type and Item Category. Now i decided to copy and change them. By raising the sales order (with my order type 9OR) i don't get the item category 9TAN that i created. How can i solve that.
    Thanks

    Hi
    Go to (VOV4) and do the Item category Determination for your Sales Document Type, Item Category Group & Default Item category.  if this assignment is done, then once u raise the sales order then u can find your item category.
    Hope this will help.
    Thanks & Regards

  • Link b/w item category and material group

    Hi All,
       Is there any link between item category and material group.
    Regards
    Pavan

    Hi Pavan,
    Item Category
    Item Category is a control field that allows the PR to follow the correct path for the correct path for that category of PR. The SAP system is delivered with a set of item categories
    Blank -Standard
    K- Consignment
    L- Sub Contracting
    S- Third Party
    D- Service
    U- Stock Transfer
    Selecting an item category allow the display of certain fields and not others
    For Ex: If PR item has an item category K for conignment then invoice receipts will not be allowed
    Material Group
    Material group is a method of grouping of similar materials.It is defined either by using classification or by configuration. It is important not only for seracing the materials but also in other areas of purchasing
    A purchace inforecord can be created with out a material number but must require materail group and vendor
    Material group is configured through Tcode WG21 
    And i do not find any link between them
    I hope this gave you the clarity
    In case of any more information required do get back
    If found helpful reward accordingly

  • Material and item category relationship

    For a given material, how can I get item category and higher level item category.
    I know mara stores item category group and t184 stores item category group and item category
    Thanks.

    Think you are going wrong way.
    Item Category and High Level Item Category are not assigned to Material, but they are assigned to Sales Document Type and Item Category Group. As you mentioned, you can get the details from table T184.
    Table T184 gives the options on how the system has to react in various scenarios.
    Combination of Sales Document Type in Sales Order, Item Category Group which is from Material Master and... result in the Item Category that is populated for the Item.

The requirement includes to update item category of PO with B , But for this Z order type both PO transaction Create/Change(ME21/ME22) the field item category has been greyed out ( Non editable).

  • Suppresing Delivery note prints for certain sales order types/item category

    Hi
    I need to find a way of suppressing some delivery notes from being printed.
    Relating to orders for consignment fill up and consignment issue.
    The delivery notes are needed to be printed for 'Consignment fill up order' type, BUT not for Consignment issue - as this is confusing some of the warehouse staff at month end.
    All have the same delivery type, the only difference i can see is the item category types are different
    Is there a way i can use the sales order type, with customer number as an access sequence for the Output type ?
    -  Or the Item category type ?
    Is it possible to add sales order type or Item category into the FIELD CATALOG :- output for deliveries
    Your help would be much appreciated
    Cheers
    Tony

    Hi,
    I can suggest you something, but do remember that I've never done such kind of thing till date.
    >> Copy LF and create new delivery type
    >> Assign this to your consignment doc. types
    >> Kindly remove the Header output determination procedure assigned to this new delivery type
    >> Then assign output det. procedure at Item level {according to Item category}
    >> Then check if will cater to your requirment or not.
    Please keep one thing in mind that I am giving you a proposal by thinking in one logical way and I can't confirm the practicality of the proposal.

  • Usage of material in item category

    Hello could anyone tell me where could i go and change the usage of a material or menu path
    During item category determination 'usage' is a combination but i dont know where i can find a usage of a material.

    Hi,
    We come across the field Item usage in Customer material Info Record (VD51).
    After entering the information of our material with the customers information, select the line entry and click on details.
    We will come across the field item usage at the bottom of the screen. When once you change this the item category determination gets changed.
    If you want to create your own item usage, the path is as follows:
    SPRO - IMG - Sales and Distribution - Sales - Sales Documents - Sales Document Item - Define Item category Usage.

  • Material's item category

    hi all,
    how could i know weather a material is of document item, stock item or non stock item etc...?
    how can we create a material of document item..?
    regards
    chinta

    SAP has a document management function, so you don't create a material that is a document, but rather create a document (whic you can link to a material), and, as I understand from your question, assign it in a BOM with the indication (item categiry) D.

  • Invoice for BOM_Normal material(TAN item category) error

    Hi Sap gurus,
    We are facing one production issue.they are creating a SO/Delivery/billing with below line items:
    1.Normal material
    2.BOM
    3 BOM components1
    4.BOM components2
    5.Normal material
    6.Normal material
    but while creating billing, the BOM components would be populate automatically by using user exit.
    Now issue is while creating billing, its not showing last normal material, i.e. its looks like below
    1.Normal material
    2.BOM
    3 BOM components1
    4.BOM components2
    5.Normal material
    6. MISSING IN BILLING LEVEL
    But in document flow the 6th material entry is available with out qty, amount & UOM.
    please suggest me on above point, where I have to check?? (We have checked in copy controls but we are not finding any result here)
    But This is a very peculiar case where the business scenario has not be identified and the system behavior is random. We are still
    analyzing the root cause of the issue, why this happened only for certain invoices and working fine for other invoices with same 6th material.
    if now we are creating billing with above (6th normal material) it's working fine.
    But in PRD now we have to correct all wrongly populated billing documents and we have to found the issue why its happening.
    Please guide me on above.

    Shabs

    Sir,
    My SD consultant stating that there is no problem with copy controls/split func but as a abaper I have checked in all circumstances..
    So its happening only for 5 orders & if we tried to create complete cycle in production SO-->Delry-->Billing it's created successfully.
    But now how we can correct the old 5 invoices..
    And one strange thing is in VBRP table the last material ENTRY is not showing but in flow VBFA the material entry is showing without qty, item no and UOM.
    Request you to suggest me how to resolve the issue.
    Thank you in advance.
    Thanks,

  • "Material type HALB cannot be used with item category L (plant 1000)"

    Hi Guys
    I am trying to copy the BOM of a material.
    The error msg.
    "matrial type HALB cannot be used with item category L (plant 1000)"
    Diagnosis: you want to enter a new componet with material type HALB and item category L.
    Settings in IMG for production (master data> BOM > Item data > define item category) determine that inventory management for this item category is to be based on quantity.
    However, other settings in the IMG for material HALB in plant 1000 determine that the quantities are not updated in the material master. This means that you cannot enter this material with item category L.
    Can anyone tell me how to correct this error please.
    Thanks.
    Ahmad Yahya

    Hi Ahmad,
      Follow this navigation path in SPRO
    IMG: Logistics > Material Master > Basic Settings > Material Type > Define Attributes (OMS2)
    Select a material type ( like in your case HALB) and navigate to Quantity/Value Updates. Now try to locate your plant to which you want to assign your BOM to. And then set the flags Qunatity Updating and Value Updating and save.
    Now, you can come out of CS01(BOM creation) transaction and re-enter CS01. Now you can maintain the data and error will not come.
