Make Item Category "L" default

Hi Friends,
my client wantsystem should suggest item category as "L" by default. So please convey how to make this?
Regards,

Hi,
one can use customizing to preset the item category -> transaction SPRO > Plant Maintenance and Customer Service (also valid for PS in this case) > Maintenance and Service Processing > Maintenance and Service Orders > General Data > Define Default Values for Component Item Categories: here -for combination of material type and plant - the item category is determined (customizing maintenance view T418V).
As an alternative one may implement customer exit CNEX0013.
Please be aware that the item category is fetched after the material has been entered and confirmed (i. e. after the first ENTER).
Kind regards
Peter

Set as default value the Item Category in the Maintenance Order

Hello everyone,
We are trying to find a user exit in order to set as default value the item category in the Maintenance Order once the Material has been introduced (Tag Components).
SAP Customizing let the user set the Item Category automatically per Material Type, but we need to set different Item Categories to materials belonging to the same material type.
We would really appreciate any help relating this issue.
Thank you very much,
Víctor Liedo

Dear Paul,
Thank you very much for your response.
I had already tried customizing mentioned by Pithan, but it did not work because we need to set different Item Categories for Materials with same Material Type.
We have been searching for exits which may let us set Item Category in the Maintenance Order, but it does not seem to be possible.
What you say about adding some custom validation through user exit, not to set item category as default value, but to check if the one entered is valid, sounds the best way of achieving our commitments.
I have tried to look for CNEX0037 & CNEX0038, by using transactions SE37 and SE38, search for programs and functions modules, but it did not work. Could you please tell us what kind of objects are?
Thank you very much in advance.

During creation of I/B Delivery against PO, System determines one item category by default. I want to overwrite during creation of I/B Delivery. But dont know how.
I have added my new item category ZLN as alternative item category in OVLP.
Which user exit i can use to flip this value?
Thank you

Item Category Usage: Free

Hi
Want to know significance of Usage Free, know that used in VOV4 , but scenario where this is used , for eg when we define TAN and higher level Item Vcat as TAN the result is TANN.
Also I have searched the usage field in MARD/MARC/MARA, no mention of usage field
Document type                                     OR
Item cat group                                     NORM
Usage                                                 FREE
Higher level item category                  TAN
Default Item category                         TANN
Regards
Rohit

Hi bahlrohit1,
Usage field will tell what is the purpose of Particular Material
Example:
FREE: For free goods Material
CHSP: Batch Items
TEXT: Text Materilals..etc
Higher level item category and Item usage are used in the item category determination.
Let me take an example of Item Category TANN (Free of charge Item)
Item category Determination: Sales Document type + Item Category Group + Usage + Higher Level Item Category
TA + NORM + FREE + TAN = TANN
Higher Level Item category: The category on which this item category is dependent. meaning for TAN , TANN is a free item. Therefor TAN is the higher level item category.
Item Category Usage: It controls system response during document processing. The line item has an specific usage according to that usage it has to respond. Free for free items, text for text items etc.
Please go thru the below issues

Order-related billing for item category TAN

Hi All,
How can I make item category TAN order related-billing document?
I already changed the settings for TAN:
Billing Relevance - B (Relevant for order-related billing)
And maintained the copy control between sales document and billing document for item category TAN:
Copying requirements: 002 (Item/Order Related)
Data VBRK/VBRP: 001 (Invoice Split - Sample)
But when i create the billing document, it is still showing that the item is not relevant for billing.
Delivery document has already been created for this item. Am I missing something?
Thanks,
Olyn

hi,
pl enter the billing doc type in the field for order related billing in the sales order document type overview.
2. there might be billing block at sales document header level or u might have checked billing block at item category TAN,

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

Message no. V1321 - Item category ALES is not defined for this item

Hi,
I am trying to use ALES - Item Category for creation of the Sales Order. But i am getting this eerror message as Item category ALES is not defined for this item. Please let me know the config changes that i need to do to use this Item Category.
Thanks in Advance !!

To maintain the item category for a sales order type first you have to assign the item category in SPRO.
SPRO>Sales & Distribution>Sales>Sales Documents>Sales Document Item>Assign item categories.
In the screen Change view Item category assignement:overview screen
select your sales document type + ItemcategorygroupUsageHigherLevel Item category
Then you have to maintain Default item category and Manual item category.
Default item category will be proposed by the system when you enter a material in sales order. You can change the item category to any one of the manual item category maintained above.
For e.g.: You are creating a thrid party sales order. Default item category is TAN, if manual item category is maintained as TAS for this combination of sales document type + ItemcategorygroupUsageHigherLevel Item category and then system will allow you to change item category to TAS. If this is not maintained then system will give you an error as"Item category TAS is not defined for this item".
Again depending the item category further acitivites will be carried in SAP, like in third party item (TAS) PR screen will be displayed.

How to make plant default on the line item along with the item category

Hi All,
I want to default Plant on the line item along with the item category.In order to meet the following scnario.
1. I have two plants,first plant is maintained for the valuated item and the second plant is maintained for the non valuated item (Free Goods).
Whenever user is entering an item in the sales order for which corresponding free goods item is maintained in the master record.System is proposing two lines items in the sales order.
First line item is the main item which appears along with the Plant 1 which contains valuated items
Second line item is for the Free of charge item which is being proposed from Plant 2, which contains the non valuated items.
I want that the system should always propose Plant 1 with main item and Plant 2 with the Free of Charge item by default. (Along with the item category TAN and TANN)
Rahul

Delivering Plant is determined in the following order
1. Customer material info record.
2. Customer master
3. Material master.
Use one of them an default your plant.
I think in your case you can use the materila master which will give an item level plant different. The other two will default the plant at the header level.

Defaulting Item category in Equp BOM

Dear Experts,
I have a problem at the time of creating Equipment BOM, i am mentioning all the details in Header data and while entering the material numbers, it is asking to enter the item category.
In our scenario item category for all engg materials is L only. I want to default that field with L. I searched in IMG, but could not get it.
Anybody can guide me to solve this problem??
Thanks and Regards,
B. Praveen

hi
i think you can make using IMG settings under bill of material ,or use T code OICA and maintain Make User-Specific Settings
You can specify the following default values:
item increment
item category for the "New Materials Items" screen
item category for the "New Document Items" screen
item category for the "New Class Item" screen
material provision indicator
PM assembly (maintenance BOMs)
dialog print options (BOM evaluations)
Recommendation
You should maintain the following values:
item category for the "New Material Items" screen
item category for the "New Document Items" screen
You can define default values which are valid for all users by making entries for a user 'DUMMY'
