Material with item cat.group ERLA impact on costing and sales pricing

Hello,
I would like to know if a material which is defined as item category group ERLA and which has two sub-items posted in the BOM with usage 5 with its respective std cost could be calculated for costing or not?
Can I have some information about the impact on costing and pricing in sales?
Thanks in advance

No the material type should be a FG : it is relevant for sales reporting. For example I call it material "A". In the material master data within the sales screen the item category group ERLA is assigned to "A" . The material A is a grouping material with a sales BOM which contains some sub-items for example B and C which are picked and shipped together. The grouping material is not handled as stock material: only the sub-items are stocked and moved.
The customer could only require the material A with its price and receive phisically the two sub-items with a unique package unit or with two separate ones.
In this scenario the FG with ERLA item could be estimated for standard cost or not?
Thanks in advance

Third Party with item cat group NORM

Hi!
I've created a material X with item cat gr NORM. Now I'm creating a standard order with type OR. I don't have the material X in my plant and want to go through third party process.
I've done the following-
Maintained Purchasing and MRP views
OR + NORM + TAN + TAS
Could someone please guide me further as to how to create a third party order.
I'm getting the error "Material X not maintained by purchasing" Mesg no. ME046
Thanx
Sunny

Hi suryaz ,
--I think you have not selected the purchasing view option for your material.
--Go to MM01 & select the purchasing view for the material which you want to do the Third Party process.
--In purchasing view give the purchasing group.
--Change the item category group as BANS in Sales Org2 tab & save it in MM01
--Do the item category determination in VOV4
Sales docItem category groupDefault Item category
ORBANSTAS
--Now raise the sales order VA01 & enter the material default the item category will be TAS.
Let me know if your problem is solved.

Material Master--Item CAt. group.

Dear SAP Guru's
I need clarification on the following points.
1. In the Materail MAster MM02 Creation screen
In SALES org 2 :
What is the diff. of General Item category group and Item category group.
2. I have a scenerio where I have out sourced material BANS as the Item category group and general Item category group as Norm.
When I create a sales order the system automatically creates a purchase requisition. in the system and confirms the del. date.
Where I have to configure the order document type sothat the PR (Purchase requisition comes automatically.

Hi,
Item category group from material master
A grouping of materials that the system uses to determine item categories during the processing of sales documents.
Procedure
Depending on the item category group that you apply and the sales document type you are processing, the system automatically proposes an item category in the document.
Example
In the standard system, for example, there are standard items, items that represent services (and do not require delivery processing), and items that represent packaging materials.
General item category group
Materials grouping that helps the system to determine item categories during sales document processing.
If a group is configured specific to distribution channel, it has priority if the corresponding activity is distribution channel-dependent.
Procedure
The system automatically suggests an item type in the document depending on the item category group you assign and the sales document type you are processing.
Example
In the standard system, there are normal items, items that signify services (and therefore need no delivery processing) and items that signify packing material, for example.

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.

manOO

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".

Diff between Gen Item Catg Group & Item Cat group In MM01

HI Gurus,
What is the difference between Gen Item Catg Group & Item Cat group In MM01?
Cheers,
Chitty

Hi
There are several posts on same issue you can find out in sdn threads
Item Category determines the processing of any Item/material that we enter in a sales order and in this way it also effects the procesing of any sales doc in which it is used.
Item Category Group is one of the component which along with the Sales Doc Type, The Item Usage and Higher Level Item Category decide about the Item Category in a sales doc.
for example we can ERLA as item cat group and carry out the header level pricing or we can LUMF and do the item level pricing in case of a Sales BOM.
General item category group talks about further classification of a material. Like NLAG- non stock material can be used to identify bom header items, service items.
Item category group and general item category group difference
Re: difference between general item category group /item category group

Difference bet'n item cat group & gen item cat group .

can anyone know about difference bet'n item cat group & gen item cat group in material sales view?

Dear,
Considerting the remaining answers above, Please have a look:
General item category grp is used in the sales processes like BOM, where we have higher item category and the default item
categories.
General item category grp would refer to the higher level item category and item category grp would refer to the default item category
General Item category Group is an extension item category group. Example: if one select item catagory group as NORM, but under item category group, NORM can further be classified as Service item, packagaing item or Normal
item using "general item category group".
Also, General item category group is maintained at client level, this field can be maintain from Basic Data View of Material Master. Thus in case item category group is missing, then general item category group is used for item category determination.
Item category group determines how a material is processed in the sales order. When processing sales and distribution
documents, the system uses the item category group to determine the item category and proposes it in the respective document. Item category group is defined in the Sales Org View 2 of Material Master Record.
Example, in the standard SAP System, the item category group NORM is defined for materials kept in stock and the group DIEN for services and non-stock material
In Simple:
Item Category determines the processing of any Item/material that we enter in a sales order and in this way it also effects the procesing of any sales doc in which it is used.
Item Category Group is one of the component which along with the Sales Doc Type, The Item Usage and Higher Level Item Category decide about the Item Category in a sales doc.
As per definition General Item Category Group & Item Category Group both are to detrmine Item Category in Sales Document.
the Item Category Group is used to determine Item Category.
General item category is a broader term and used other than SD processes

VPRS updated incorrectly for SO with item cat Ind PO

Hi SAP Gurus
We created a SO with item cat (Individual Purchase Order - Account
Assignment M in PO).In PO we have checkd the item as free goods.
However during billing the VPRS was not captured from PO price (which
is 0.00) but it was updated from material master. As for normal items,
VPRS was updated correctly from PO.
Pls advise for free goods how can we have the VPRS updated correctly from PO instead of material master.
Sanjay

Same Material with different itemcatagory groups

We have 3rd party manufacturers that make product for company and sometimes they send the finished product back to company and other times they will drop ship it to one of our customers.
this scenario we need to have the same material with different itemcatagory groups
i tried to create same material with different storage locations, but it's possible but the thing is when i change the item catagory group for the material , the same is applicable for 2nd same material, my requirement is i need 2 different itemcatagory for the same material, hope u understand my requirement
i will be expecting your possible replys.
Thanks & Regards
Venkat.Dhanemkula

Hi Venkat..
Please explain it more clear manner..
With whatever i have understand, i think you scenerio is manual 3rd party order processing.
In that case the material that you normally deliver yourself but occasionally need to order from a third-party vendor, you can overwrite the item category during sales order processing.
Keep only one material and specify the item category group NORM in the material master.
If, as an exception, you use a third-party material, change the entry TAN to TAS in the ItCa field when processing the sales document. The item is then processed as third-party item.
hope it helps you.

Hi,
I want to know about third party Po ? is there any customization required for this type of PO, what are the cases wehe we can use the Third party PO what is main difference between Normal PO and Po with Thiedt part Item category.
regards,
zafar

Dear,
You dont need to have any specific config only need to mainatin in Material Master view for ITEM CATEGORY GROUP sa BANC, which will propose ITEM CATEGORY in Sales Order as TAS,which automatically generate a Purchse No. and against this purchase requsition u will create P.O. and will do MIRO and after MIRO u can bill this to customer and it will be ORDER RELATED BILLING as in Third party once u raise the P.O. the vendor deliver goods directly to ur Customer against P.O..
Futher need clarification revert back to me.

Service line item History for Contracts with item cat - D and Acc Assg P

Hello Gurus,
We have a situation where we create contract with item category D (Service) and account assignment category P (Projects). And for the line items of the PO we have difference services (without a service master) and each service line item has the price and quantity and other required fields. Now it is required to change the price or the quantity or both for this service line time and again (business requirement).
The task is to to track the price changes and the quantity changes that have happened to the serive line item from the original and we require the report to diplay the original price and the present price on the service line.
The question is: Is there a standard report in SAP to handle this? Or which are the tables where a service line items history is stored so that it can lead to a development.
Regards - SS

Hi Pankaj,
We are using a Percentage based case (Prorata case)
For Eg : For Eg for 65% (65KAI )material Price 1000 Rs
If the Purity percentage varies payment will be done as per the same. For eg : for 70% (70KAI ) Price 1200 Rs. (approx)
In this case unit of measurement is KAI (kilo active ingredient) .
Actually we are dealing with dealer price where duties are entered Inclusive of the total price and entered at the time of making GR. and the payment is made as per the same;
we have one po for 5000 MT. where we received material at first time Qty being 1993 MT.The duties manuallyentered are as follows :BED :24,167.00
AED : 7,076.00
ECS : 483.00
SECES : 242.00
These duties are flowing correctly in MIRO
and the MIRO has been Posted and payment is also made.
But while the balance quantity 2982 kg we received next time and those duties are as flowing as follws:
BED : 36160
AED : 10587
ECS : 723
SECS : 362
But here at the MIRO the following duties are flowing instead of above
BED : 36,526.08
AED : 10,694.18
ECS : 730.32
SECS : 365.66
What might be the error at this stage.
waiting for solution at the earliest .

Item Master showing wrong Tax % in Purch. and Sales Tab

Hi
In Item Master Data Purchasing and Sales Tab the wrong Tax % value is shown. It shows the value valid from 1.1.2011 and not the value that is currently valid. In all other areas it does show and use the correct, at current date valid value.
2007A SP01 PL09
Known bug?
Thanks
Franz

Hi Gordon,
You might be right that it is 'a bit early' for the 2011 rates. However, because
- we got the official information about the raise next year
- B1 offers the possibility to enter the new values with a validity date in the future
- I am not 100% sure if it influences any 2011 predated document posted if the correct value for 2011 is not already present in the system
- and in the end just to prevent me from forgetting to change it at the year end - what's done is done

ECP with network activities and sales pricing

Hi experts,
Currently I have configured the system so that I can plan costs by assigning Easy Cost Planning templates to network activities and WBS elements. However, when I try to create quotation (sales pricing) from Project Builder (CJ20N), the planned costs of ECP templates assigned to network activities does not appear, only the planned costs of ECP directly assigned WBS element appears.
Thanks in advance.
Hieu Nguyen

After extensive testing, I believe doing sales pricing from Project Builder would not work correctly when using ECP with network activity. Sales pricing from Project Builder will only work properly if ECP only assigned to WBS element.
If you need to use ECP with network activities, you would need to use DP82 to do the sales pricing.
