No PReq Item Category for 3rd Party Order

Hello,
I am trying to set up the 3rd party process but having a problem with the item category in the generated purchase requisition.
I know that my sales order item has a schedule line category of CS. This should create a purchase requisition item with an item category of 5.
However, my requisition item is getting " ". I have checked the config and it looks ok.
Does anybody have any idea why the item category in my schedule line is not being picked up? The requisition item is getting the correct account assignment category.

Stuart, I don't have an answer to your question but am wondering if you could help me... I too am trying to set up 3rd party ordering.
Did you set up your material as a non-inventoried (DEIN) material? How did you handle the account assignment cat value in the purchase req? Mine is defaulting to "X"... do I have the option to change that?
Thanks in advance,
Deirdre

Urgent - How to change Item category for Open Purchase Order

Hi Team,
Lil bit tricky issue.
My client has asked us to change the existing Item Category values, Combinations, Category Set etc. Its been changed and uploaded successfully.
The question here is how we need to handle the category for Open Purchase Order. How to update the same.
Do we need to do manually or any other way ?
Please advice
Regarads,
John

Hi John,
This is reallly a tricky issue!
I guess you cannot change the category of an existing PO's.
This field will be greyed out once we save the form...there were no profiles/other setups to enable this field.
For all new PO's since you have changed the new category value that should not be a issue.
Lets wait for some of our colleuges opinion.
I guess PO cancel should be the final option if we dont hear any new work arounds.
Thanks

Hi
My client having delivery related billing and order related billing. For we have maintain only one billling document (order related and delivery related).
What is the meaning of this statement ?
Say in a single order or order type say OR there can be two materials with different item categories say TAN and ZTAN and
TAN with billing relevance as A( delivery related billing) and ZTAN with billing relevance as B (order related billing )
If that happens the billing will be split
In VOV8 we mention for OR the order related billing as F1 and delivery related billing as F2 in the billing tab
Now in billing TAN will pick F2 as it is delivery related billing
and
ZTAN will pick F1 as it is order related billing
Suppose in your sales doc type if you have mentioned both as F2 then also there will a billing split in billing there will be two F2 invoices TAN will pick one F2 invoice and ZTAN will pick another F2 invoice and this is a wrong way of doing things
I have a item category in the sales order Zo09 for this item category system allowing the user to create both billing documents(order and delivery related) Please advise how i can stop the users to create delivery related and order related
How can one item category can pick both order related and delivery related billing?
Not at all possible in SAP as we can mention only one control in the billing relevance field in item cat
Your issue needs more clarity about your problem for suggesting some suitable help

One line item delivery for 3rd party sales order

Hello Experts,
We have configured a 3rd party sales order process where the PR gets created. We are using scheduling agreement(PO) and creating Schedule line and doing a GR for partial line items. The stock is recieved as a Sales Order stock.
But when i create a Sales Delivery the delivery document copies all the line items (ieven for the ones which we don't have GR) from the sales order and we have to manually delete the line items from delivery doc.
Is there a way i can restrict the delivery document to only copy the line items from the sales order for which the sales order stock is available? If so how can we do that?
Appreicate your help.
Thanks

Hi all.. what is the item category for third party returns

Please also include a brief about third party returns procedure
thanks
adi

Hi,
In third-party order processing, your company does not deliver the items requested by a customer. Instead, you pass the order along to a third-party vendor who then ships the goods directly to the customer and bills you. The standard sales order automatically creates a purchase requisition for the materials to be delivered by the third-party vendor.
In this scenario, the vendor sends a shipping notification. The incoming invoice from the vendor updates the billing quantity, so that the customer-billing document is only possible after entering the invoice from the vendor.
<b>If the customer does not accept</b> the delivered goods from the third party vendor, the customer disposes of the goods. A credit memo is issued to the customer reversing the revenue and cost of goods sold. Then a MM credit memo is created for the third party vendor. A statistical goods receipt reversal is performed for the goods in order to close out the original purchase order. The vendor credit memo may initially be blocked for payment, if previous agreement for this with vendor exists.
And REN would be returns item category. But you can always have your own cutomized item category if there are any special requirments from the business.
Hope it helps. Please reward if useful.
Thanks & Regards

CRM Item Category for Text Sales Order

Hi,
we are using SAP CRM 6.0 and I am looking for a way to define a transaction item type in a way that I can create a standard sales order with a text item (no material number).
In ECC, I would choose item type B="text" (e.g. item category TATX), however I couldn't find any similar category in CRM.
Can you give me any ideas?
Thanks

You can create an item category which has item category BUS2000128- Text item.

Hello Arpita
For 3rd party orders functionality you need to use account assignment category of X and not M. E and M are for individual Purchase orders. You should not use them for 3rd party.
Please see the following OSS notes and follow along:
210997 - Accnt assignment categories in third-party and indiv.PO
550388 - FAQ: Customizing of third-party and individual POs
Good luck.

Account Assignment Category for third party process.

Hi ,
I would like to use different account assignment category for third party process. This account assignment cat must be assigned at the sales order itself. Is there any config for this.
Kindly help me.
Ram.

You can create new account assignment category for 3rd party process by copying existing std one 2 in configuration under MM - Purchasing - Account assignment - maintain account assignment category
You can assign your own set of control for account assignment based on requirement.
SAP use TAS item catgory in 3rd Sales order which is linked to Pur Req account assignment catgory 2.If you are defining own account assignment catgory than you need to config set-up with TAS sales order item catgory.
Hope above details will help to move further...sanjay karkun

Returns procees for 3rd party

Hi Guru's
Please let me know what is the Return process for 3rd party order
Thanks in advance
Mastan

Dear Mastan,
quite generally, you can book the reurned goods as you want (to your vendor or to your company). There is no standard process from SAP side here.
Concerning creation of invoice, it depends on your Customizing setting for the item category (transaction VOV7). If the billing relevance is 'F' (recommended for the third-party), then you cannot create the invoice without incoming invoice. If you have another billing relevance (for example , 'B' according to order quantity), then you can create invoice without incoming invoice. Moreover, in case of 'B' you can create the invoice immediately after creation of the order. It is independent on return.
As I have already said, there are no standard rules for this process at SAP. And the whole process is not supported at all. Therefore you have always to decide by yourself, what would be reasonable for your business. There are no guidelines from SAP side here.
I hope, this info helps you a little bit further.
Kind regards,

3rd party order processing GR movement type

Hi
In 3rd party order processing the goods are delivered to customer from vendor directly, but for billing purpose we do the GR at plant level(against purchase order)>invoice>Billing
Physically stock is not delivered to the plant, so when we do the GR(against purchase order),if the movement type is 101 it will updatet the stock. 3rd party delivery is not done,stock will not be reduced. I want to know what is the GR movement type for 3rd party order processing, is it 101 or anyother movement type.

Hi,
Check in t.code OMJJ.
Select movement type 101 and click on update control/WM movement types.
There you can see this movement type is configured for different update control/WM movment types.
Few entries are made in the system without value and quantity updates for movement type 101. So I assume, when you do MIGO using 101 movement type against third party purchase order, special stock indicator E and movement type B will be taken for statistical posting. You can do a testing to confirm this.

Change Sales Order Item Category for a configurable material with config

Hi
My problem is related to Variant configuration. We have a requirement that depending on the ordered quantity and required replenishment lead time the business scenario for a configurable will get changed. that means some characteristics value selection will trigger the business scenario to be followed, whether it will be Make to Order, Buy to Order or 3rd Party drop-ship order. and the business process to be followed will be triggerd by the Item category to be selected in the sales order line item.
so , the requirement is to change the item category of the sales order line item with the carecteristiocs value selection in the variant configuration screen. As we know, when ever the material is getting entered in to the sales order line item, depending on the Item category group in the material master data the item category in the sales order line item used to get determined. after that when we are selecting the characteristics value set in the variant configurator, systen shoud chage the already determined item category of the sales order.
Hope I have clearly furnished my problem and requirement. Can anyone show me the way to fulfil my requirement. Any further clarification requirement to understand and resolve the issue is cordialy appriciable.
Regards'
Som

Thanks Krishna
But as u mentioned the way to make the non editable field into editable one. But that will applicable in case of manual chage. But can it be applicable for changing the Item category by using Object dependency??
Actually in our scenario, for some of the item category that field in the sales order line item remains editable. we have tested with that also. Once the item category is getting determined, object dependenct is not able to modify the item category in the sales order line item.
I have explores something, if I include PSTYV field in VCSD_UPDATE, will it work? VCSD_UPDATE is the table that contains field of sales order can be modified with the usage of object dependency.
Please let me know ASAP.
