Maintain Item Category OMH4

Hi,
Currently i have create an item category 'B' to limit the amount created for PO.
When creating PO using this item category, i was prompted to enter the Asset Number.
But after saving PO, i am not able to change the Asset Number.
When i check the maintenance for this item category in OMH4, there is this option "Add acct assignment" which was flagged with "Mandatory". I suspect this could be the cause that is restricting me from changing the Asset Number in the PO.
Appreciate if any expert can help to advise on this urgently.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
CL

Hi
The Mandatory Indicator means that when you use this item category B, then you need to mention an account assignment.
Please check if for the PO if further functions have been carried out such as GR or IR.
If there are no such further documents then you should be able to change the Account assignement
Goto transaction ME22N enter the PO& click on the line item, click on the Limits Tab & Click on the Account Assignment indicator & Check if you are able to change the account assignment
Thanks & Regards

Returnable Packing - Sales order maintainance / Item Category determination

Gurus,
I have question about returnable packing regarding sales order entry and item category determination
1) Sales order : Should we do entry of returnable packing in Sales Order as a regular item
Example : The material M1 - 100unites needs returnable packing materials PK1 5 unites.
Therefore in sales order it should be entered as below
M1 - 100unites
PK1 - 5unites
Please commnet.
2) Item category determination should be done at sales document level
Sales document type + Item category group (LEIH) + Usage (PACK) + Higher lever item Cat (???) = TAL
Please commnet.
Regards,
Ashish

Hi
Yes Ashish you need to enter the returnable as a separate item in the sales order
For qn no 2 the item categories of higher levelitems can be TAN and TAX
Sales document type + Item category group (LEIH) + Usage (PACK) + Higher lever item Cat (blank) =TAL
Sales document type + Item category group (LEIH) + Usage (PACK) + Higher lever item Cat (TAN) =TAL
Sales document type + Item category group (LEIH) + Usage (PACK) + Higher lever item Cat (TAX)=TAL
Note returnable packing items are creates as a separate materials with material type as LEIH and item category group as LEIH
How to bring back the returnable packaging stocks to your plant
Creating a Returnable Packaging Pick-Up
Create a sales order using order type LA /AT.
Enter the required data on the customer, the returnable packaging, and the plant to which the materials are to be returned.
Enter all other relevant data and save the order.
Create a returns delivery for the sales order when the materials reach your company.
The system proposes delivery type LR automatically. The transaction is completed by the goods receipt posting which initiates a transfer posting from the customer's special stock to your plant stock.

Item Category Usage

We define Item Category Usage in 0VVW T code . But I want to know , where we can maintain it so that system picks up the usage for that particular item in sales order when we maintain the usage for an example FREE ( Free Goods ) in item category determination ?
Example :
In item category determination we maintained
item category group -   NORM
Sales doc type          -   OR
Usage                      -    FREE
Higher level item       -    Blank
Item Category          -     TANN
So from where does the system picks up this Usage ( FREE ) for that item

Item Category Group in BOM

Dear Gurus
I want to create the BOM for Computer = Screen + Herdisk + Key board
1) Main Item Level processing
I have maintained item category group ERLA in MMR (Sales 2 screen) of the finished product
(Computer 1 ).
What item category group should be maintained for sub items?
2) Subitem Level Processing
I have maintained item category group LUMF in MMR (Sales 2 screen) of the finished product
(Computer 2).
What item category group should be maintained for sub items?
3) Also explain about how to mainatin the master records (CS01).
Regards,
Ashish
Edited by: Ashish Desai on Apr 8, 2009 1:10 AM

Ashish,
Suppose the material is completed then the value is shown against final product. In that case we use Item vategory Group ERLA. The maina item category will be shown as TAQ. The Subitem will take item category TAE (text item)
If the material is still not complete then the value is ascertaind through sub items in that case LUMF item category is used and item category for the main item is TAP and for sub items it is TAN.
In any case we will change the item category group as (ERLA or LUMF) in the material master of the final material "Computer". Where as the subitems item category will be "Norm".
Note: If you use standarad Order = OR, and standard item category group ERLA in the Finished MAterial Conmputer, then system will automatically assign item categories for Main item = TAQ and SUb Items = TAE.
Standard process and ORder = OR
Then Execute MM02 for finished material or Main materialo alone i.e., "Computer", Assign Item Category Group = ERLA and save. Then create BOM CS01, CS11 Single level the output will be
COMPUTER = TAQ
SCREEn = TAE
HERdisk = TAE
Key board= TAE.
Similarly if you proceed process by changing Item category group = LUMF for main material i.e., Finished goods "Computer" then
COMPUTER = TAP
SCREEn = TAN
HERdisk = TAN
Key board= TAN
If you are changing the document type prefixed with Z , then you need to proceed with "Assign tem Catgeory"

As given in your other post, please find the info below.
Hi Pabitra
I guess the price is taken from the material info record. Here the item category might be a part of the access sequence.
To get the same info, follow the below steps:
1. Go to Transaction: MEK3
2. Give the condition type as PB00
3. Click on Key Combination from the application toolbar
4. Select Material Info Record
5. Next selection screen shows you the list of mandatory fields. If item category also exists here, give '0' & 'K' for Item category and other fields like vendor number, purchase orgranization, material.
6. Execute.
7. In the next screen if you can see only one record for item category '0', it means that condition record for item category 'K' is not maintained.
Hence the price will not be extracted.
Hope the above info helps you.
Kind Regards

What is Item Category in SAP CRM ? Where exactly it will be useful ?

What is Item Category in SAP CRM ? Where exactly it will be useful ? Please explain in detail.
Edited by: Rajanand Tadakamadla on Nov 6, 2010 12:46 PM

Hello Rajanand,
1. Item Category :
You define the item categories for business transactions.Like transaction types, an item category is assigned to one or more business transaction categories
An item category specifies the properties and attributes of a business transaction item, and therefore controls how the item is processed
First, you assign the item category to an item object type. The item object type defines the business context in which an item category is used.
ExampleBUS200140- CRM Service Product Item.
2. Item Category Group
With the help of the item category group, you review the various products from a business view for item category determination. Enter the item category group for each product in the product master.(T Code COMMPR01)
During business transaction processing, the system creates the item category from the item category group for the product, and from the business transaction category, and proposes it in the document.
You can assign item categories to business transaction types and item category groups in the process Maintain item category determination.
3.Item Categories Usages
The item category usage is generally used for items that do not refer to a product (for example, Free Items, text items).
The item category usage is assigned to the respective transaction types when the item category is determined. When processing documents, the system determines the item category from the transaction type and item category group or the item category usage and proposes it in the document.

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".

Mis match in attributes of item category B and Blanket PO item details

Hi
I could not able to create a Blanket PO with document type FO and item category B (limit).
Normally for a blanket PO, GR is not allowed and IR is mandatory. So, I could able to see these checkboxes for GR (not set and grayed) and IR (set and grayed) in the item details of the PO in delivery and invoice tabs. But I end with an error message that 'GR is not set is used is not allowed' (exactly i don't remember but some thing like that)
Before creating a blanket PO, I found that in 'attributes of item categories', that for the item category B, GR is set and IR is not set (in customizing-OMH4). Of course, one cannot change the attributes of item categories.
I suppose due to this mis-match in the attributes of item categories and that in the PO, I'm getting an error message while creating a blanket PO and could not able to save.
Also I have checked all the system messages for the message displayed. No where(i.e. in any message class or category and for that message number) I found any such message defined with error in 'attributes of system messages' for purchasing, material master, inventory, invoice verification etc.
I suppose this error message is coming somewhere from the application program for the PO.
So, what can be the solution
waiting for your reply.
thank you

Thank you for your answer. I haven't mention this point in my thread but I have already tried this.
I have tried matching the GR and IR controls of account assignment category with PO GR, IR controls and also with item category B, GR, IR controls. Still i am getting the same error and could not able to save the PO
Also I have checked the field settings for PO for all categories like transaction relevant, item category relevant, etc in customizing.
Main problem is both GR and IR controls are being grayed in PO. Other wise I could able to change them as per my wish and could able to avoid the error even though the GR and IR controls in PO are correct as per the process requirement.
If possible, please check the GR and IR controls for item category B (in my system it showing that GR is set with binding and IR is not set with binding). But it should be reverse as per the process requirements and in limit PO it is showing correctly. i.e. with GR is not set with binding and IR is set with binding.
thank you

How to restrict free goods determination based on item category

Hi All,
We have a process where when goods for a sales order are returned , we add a line item to same sales order with a return item category.
The issue is we have free goods determination activated for this document type and it works even for the returns item added to this order latter, whereas we don't want free goods determination to work for the returns item.
Can anyone please advise how this can be achieved.

Hi,
I can think of one of the probable solution for your requirement.
Your need to create new condition table with item Category as one of the key combination. I think you need to update the item category in field catalog as well as in Doc Structures. Then maintain free goods condition record all the item categories except for the Return item category. This way you can exclude free goods activation for return items.
Note : If the number of active item categories are more then it may be difficult to maintain condition records for the item categories.
Hope this will help
Regards,
Sanjay

Usage in Free Goods Item category Determination

Hi,
I have configured the Free Goods and it is working fine and I had to utlize the SAP standard Usage "FREE" in the Free Goods Item category determination as per the below:
Sales Doc Type    It.Cat.Grp.     Usage   HLevItCat. DItemCat    MitCat
ZOR1                    NORM           FREE        ZAN1         ZANN
ZOR1                    NORM                            ZAN1         ZANN          TAX
I know this "Usage" is available in CMIR and I don't find it in any other places. So, if any materila for which there is no CMIR, then in that case where should I use this "Usage"? Because I want to change the standard SAP Usage "FREE" to "ZREE". How can I change it and assign it? Please guide me.
Thanks,
Jans

Hi,
Try to do as mentioned below.
step by step process for free goods.
1. need to create the free goods condition(condition tables/access seq and types) and pricing procedure and then assign the same to sales area, doc. Priccing proce and cust pri. Procde.
2.you need to maintain the condition records( tcode: VBN1) and maitain the data as mentioned
above(check Notes 2 sheet)
3. if you don't want the free goods item to be created, then you need to add the NRAB condition type to the pricing procedure(document pricing procedure not Free goods pricing procedure) and need to maintain the condition record for this
condition in VK11.
once all this is done, you can see free goods price reduced in the net price and if additional item is added, then you will the quantity (as per condition record) for that free good.
Thanks,
Srini.
