Material Item Catagory Default

Hi,
SD guys can i get some help from your end...
When the material master records were created for AC45 the default item category on a sales order was TAN
Some material master records, for example 1142920 / 1142921 / 1142931, which were created later, have a default item category of TAB on the sales order – which is causing problems as this is not always being changed.
Can all default item categories for AC45 material master codes not used by any other plant be set with a default of TAN.
Can you assisst me how to set the default setting...
Awaiting for your kind reponse..
Best regards
Ram

Hi,
Let me explain the complete process.
Above all we need to define
1)Item Categories such as Tan, Tann etc
2)Define Item category groups such as NORM etc
3)Define Default Values for Material Item category groups
We can enter an item category group for each material type. This item category group is proposed when you create a material master record of this material type. The default value can be changed manually in the material master record.
4)Define Item Category Usage
5)Lastly we do Item category Determination

  • To Grey out the material , item catagory and qty for BOM items.

    Hi,
      I have situtation where we need to block the changes for the BOM sub items when change of sales document(VA02). Ultimately user should not be able to change the sub items of BOM in VA02.

    Hi Ramakrishna Garapati,
    You can gray off the BOM sub items ultimately this will enable who ever has this profile to use va02, they will not be able to do any changes, if required also. This will restrict everybody under this profiles. In case you need to do some change it does not allow.
    The best possible way is to restrict the user from Transaction VA02, and make it authorized Tcode, i.e. when required need to take the authorisation and do the necessary changes, this way it is tracked.
    We had similar kind of issue, now restricted from using VA02, once authorized you get different login/pwd, specially for that point of time. Once changes done your pwd expires.

    2.Add those BOM in production version in material master MRP4 view for material "X".
    3.Create Info records with Production version (Step 2 material master) in Purchasing Organisation View for each vendor.
    4.Create Source list for material "X"
    5.Now go to ME21n enter the required vendor and material "X", it will automatically default your required production version.

  • About Item catagory usage

    Hi All Gurus,
    We determine item catagory i.e
    s/ditem catagory grpitem catagory usagehigher level item catagoryitem catagory.
    I want to knw more abt Item catagory usage. Hw its work & its effects as well as abt higher level item catagory
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards
    nitin

    Hi Nitin,
    you can specify which item categories the system proposes during document processing for each sales document type and item category group. At the same time, you can specify additional item categories with which the system default can be overwritten. There is a maximum of three possible alternative item categories.
    If, for example, you enter a material with the item category group NORM in a standard order, the SAP System determines the allowed item category via the assignment of item categories to sales document types and item category groups.
    The system default and the allowed alternatives are always determined from the sales document type and one or two further criteria. The system default depends on the following criteria:
    sales document type
    item category group
    item category of the higher-level item
    item category usage
    Note
    The SAP System automatically copies the item category determined for a sales document item to the delivery.
    Recommendation
    Depending on the initial situation you can start the assignment differently:
    When you define a new sales document type, you should specify the proposed and the allowed item categories for the materials that are represented by the item category group.
    When you define a new item category, you should specify for which sales document types an item category is proposed or which item category is possible for the materials represented by the item category group.
    When you define a new item category group, you are to enhance the assignment of item categories to sales document types by this new item category group.
    Actions
    To define item category determination, proceed, for example, as follows:
    1. Choose the sales document type to which you want to assign item categories.
    2. Then choose one of the item category groups.
    3. Specify all the allowed item categories for the combination of sales document type and item category group.
    If you are dealing with a non-material item, you must specify the corresponding item usage.
    If it is a subitem, specify the item category of the higher-level item.
    If it is an item category that is to be proposed in the sales document, you must indicate the combination of item category, item category group and sales document type as a default value.
    4. If necessary, specify between one and a maximum of three item categories, with which the system default can be manually overwritten during document processing.

  • Item catagory field display in sales order lin item

    Hi experts,
    I would like to have your view points to gray out item catagory field at sales order item level.
    In our scenario, company has outsourced sales order creation to third party vendor. Also we have restricted sales order creation for these user's via role creation for certain document types.
    Even after these settings, now they have access to item catagory field to modify. We want to gray out this field so that they will not be able to update it to another item catagoroy.
    Thanks in adavance for your reply.
    Regards,
    Prabhaharan

    I have a suggestion, which can act as a work around through configuration. Maintain only one default Item category & do not maintain any alternative item category, which can be changed manually. this will serve the purpose of not changing the Item Category & even if user tries to change, it will not accept any other item category.

  • PO item catagory K

    Hi,
    i have created frame work order po with item catagory K,
    If we enter material in po it takes G/L account automatically,
    my question is how this material is related to G/L Account ? please explain .
    Regards
    Prashanth

    Hi,
    Normally if you create a PO with account assingnment , you must enter the material group. this material group is assigned with a particular G/L account. This G/L account is maintained in OBYC. So the G/L account is picked through material group.
    You goto SPRO-MM-PURCHASING-MATERIAL MASTER-ENTRY AIDS FOR ITEMS WITHOUT A MATERIAL MASTER, where you can find your material group assigned with a particular G/L account.

  • Regarding item catagory

    Hi friends
    What is the item catagory for main item and sub item in the material detrmination process
    Plz reply soon
    Thanks in Advance

    Hello Venkat,
    Generally Main Item and Sub Item are the terms used for BOM but not for material determination.
    In Material determination we say material and the one which is getting substituted as a Substitute Material.
    To my knowledge item category for material determinations is as follows:
    Sales Doc type     Item cat.Grp. Usage    HLevlCatg     DfltCat
    OR                        NORM               PSEL              TAX           TAPS
    Item Category for Material Entered is TAX
    Item Category for Substitute Material is TAPS
    If you are looking for BOM Item categories let me know I shall reply you the same.

  • Item Catagory in Order/Delivery

    Hi Experts,
    when we create an order ,the Line item in that order will behave according to Item catagory. Hence If we create Delivery with reference to that Order , same Line item will be copied from Order to delivery. So If this is the Case, why do we need to define Item catagories for Delivery.Can anybody please explain with simple example.

    Dear Kanna,
    Check with, T. Code: 0VLP (zero-VLP)
    There, select an Item Category and Read the description for every Field. This will give the information about the behaviour of that Item category, within the Delivery-Doc.
    Some Key-Points are:
    1. It ensures, whether the Item is relevant for pcking or not.
    2. Relevant checks for Delivery Qty. from Order Qty. ( i.e. checks for overdelivery)
    3. Automatic Batch Determination
    4. Controls whether it makes sense to enter an item in the SD document with this item category without specifying a material.

  • Gen item catagory group

    what is the use of gen item catagory group in material master, suppose i m creating material for spares parts and if i maintain item catagory then what would be happened and if i don't maintain then what would be happend?
    or for which scenario we should maintain this?

    Item category group is used in Sales Document processing. Basically these determine the processing that is to be done from the Sales Order.
    For eg - If it is NORM (Normal), then it has to be delivered
    If it is BANS (Third Party), then system will generate a PR for procurement of the material
    If it is DIEN (Services), then SD Delivery is not required...
    Hope this helps.

  • Material Item Hierarchies in SRM 7.0

    Dear Experts,
    we are on PPS 3.0, SRM 7.0, Extended Classic scenario and using the MM-SUS scenario for sending POs from SRM to SUS via ECC and PI.
    The issue we are facing is the message mapping errors in PI, when  the PO from SRM contains a material item hierarchy with  free text subline items that do not have quantity, price or delivery date defined.
    A free text item does not have any information defined, but XI expects the fields like quantity, Price, delivery date etc and hence the error.
    The process flow is an item hierachy PO is created in SRM, replicated to ECC successfully and a Idoc is sent successfully to PI. The failure occurs in PI on its way to SUS.
    Did any one face this issue with free text subline items in Item hierarchies and what is the resolution.
    Thanks in advance,

    HI
    This speaks about the status of the Cart. This means that the Status of the Cart is AWAITING APPROVAL...I dont know which document you have gone through but procedure for adding a Custom Field in SRM 7.0 is:
    1. Create a Custom field in the Database in SRM. Preferrably add the field in an include and extend thta include to the table in SE11.
    2. Go to Portal Login of SRM and right click the part of the screen where you want to add the custom field. Click on More Field Help. The popup will give you the name of WebDynpro Applicaiton which controls that area.
    3. Login to SRM via GUI and display the webdynpro application using SE80. Enhance the Webdynpro application.
    4. Add the custom field to the Context of the WebDynpro Application View. You will be selecting the field from the database table while adding the custom field to the context
    5. Add the field at the specified place in Layout Tab of the WebDynpro View,
    6. Create a binding between the Layout Field and the Context
    7. Activate the changes.... you will see the field in Portal login of SRM....
    For more details , refer to the Webdynpro help of the application...

  • Import multiple info records for 1 material item in repository

    Hi Guys,
    I have got sort of a puzzle I can not solve at the moment, maybe some one can help me to solve it. The situation in our system landscape is as follows:
    Systems:
    SRM 5.0 (Classic implementation scenario)
    ECC 6.0
    SRM-MDM 2.0
    PI 2005
    Material master is maintained in R/3 and the materials are replicated to SRM. From SRM we replicate all materials to the catalog repository in SRM-MDM.
    As the material master in R/3 is vendor independent, the materials replicated to SRM also have no vendor attached. For the first initial material replication from SRM to the catalog SRM-MDM this also means that the products in the main table of the repository, u2018catalog positionsu2019, will not have a vendor or vendor number attached (i.e. no reference to a source of supply).
    To assign a source of supply in the repository to a product (record) we will use info records which are replicated from R/3 to SRM-MDM. The mapping for this in the Import Manager can only be based on the product number. As this is the only unique value available which can map a info record to a already existing (but vendor less) ptoduct item in the catalog.
    As long as every item in the repository has only one unique info record, meaning one source of supply with a specific price, there is no issue in the above scenario. Based on the product-id, the info record data will be matched with the material item in the catalog.
    The issue for me arises when multiple info records exists for the same material. The info records can heave different vendors and different prices. All possible vendors should be available in the catalog for the same material (at least this is the requirement ).
    At this point the product-id will no longer be an unique value. Importing the info records will cause problems, as only one material record is available in the repository for the specific product-id (remember that when doing a initial replication of the material master to the catalog, no vendor data is replicated).
    Does anyone had this issue before, and knows a solution? Is it for example possible during the import of the info records in the Import manager, to duplicate material records in the destination data, based on the number of info records available in the source data for the same product-id. Or is there an other solution that I am missing?
    Your help would be appreciated!
    Regards,
    Skander

    Hi Shai & Ravi,
    Thanks for your answers. The MDM version which we are using is 5.5 - currently on SP6
    @ Shai: you are right; the standard SRM-MDM 2.0 catalog repository has a qualified lookup table u2018priceu2019, in which itu2019s possible to store the info record data. The standard fields in this sub-table are: Purchase Org, Amount, Currency Lower B, PIR-ID, price based quantity and Price based quantity UoM.
    I added some extra fields (non qualified), to accompany the remaining info record data (product no. u2013 vendor id  u2013 product category)  which is exported/imported, via the standard extraction program in R/3: Tcode MECCM
    I tried the solution Ravi proposed. This scenario works fine when, for example you want to maintain multiple info records for one specific material record in the main table (all info records related to the same source of supply, i.e. vendor). But as I described, the info records we import for one product can have different vendors. 
    The source of supply (vendor) in the shopping cart of SRM is determined via the u2018supplieru2019 field in the main repository table (which is in itself a flat lookup table ). What happens now is that all related info records are added to the u2018price informationu2019 field of the specific product record in the main table. Thus info records which have different suppliers are attached to a record in the main table which will have one specific supplier in the u2018supplieru2019 field. So from my point of view this will not work.
    I am still stuck with the situation that the material master import will only import one record for every distinct product, which can have multiple info records. The info records can/will have different vendors. As the supplier field in the main table determines the source of supply in the shopping cartu2026. Iu2019am seeking for a solution which will duplicate the material records in the main table, based on the amount of imported info records for that specific material record, that have distinct vendors.
    Shai, if you have some useful info on how you accomplished this requirement on a previous version of SRM-MDM, it would be greatly appreciated if you can share it..
    Thx.
