Error in CRM WEB UI : Item category could not be determined.

Hi,
I am trying to create Service Confirmation. I got an error sayin for line item 20: Item category could not be determined. Conversion Factors are invalid.
Can you please tell me, when such type of error comes?
Do we need to check any configuration for this?
Thanks,
Sandeep

Hi Sandeep,
Such type of errors generally comes when the customizations are not maintained properly in the system. Every One Order transaction has a Transaction Type and one or more Item Categories associated to it. And in the Item Category determination you need to associate all the Item Categories and the Transaction Type.
In this case, it looks like the Item Category is not properly configured. And also the Item Category Determination is not happening properly.
The best way to trouble shoot this kind of error is to get in touch with the Functional Consultant who has configured the Transaction. Alternatively, you cal also have a look at the standard transactions which are delivered by SAP to have a feel of all the places where there might be potential errors.
You can check this in the IMG Customization. Refer to this link for a complete detail: [Business Transaction|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm70/helpdata/en/92/8269126d1547578aab640f097de32c/frameset.htm]
Hope this helps.

Error : Item Category could not created.

Hello SAP Masters,
While creating a "sales process" in SAP CRM I've got the following error
"Item Category could not created"
Now let me tel you what exactly I've done, I have defined a "Sales Process" Type transaction called "Ysal" and by copying the slandered Item Category "Tan" I've created "ZTAN" , and for the Item category group and the Item Category Usage I've created "ZItem Group" and "ZItem usage".
Now in the Item Category determination I've filled up
Transaction Type = Ysal
Item Cat. Group = ZItem Group
Item Cat Usage = Zitem Usage
Main Item Cat. = Ztan
and under Item Category determination
Item Category = ZTAN
after this I've created A product Master and a ,material where I've assigned Item Category Group, and the product master.
Now Please explain why I've got this error, as I've maintained the determination properly so in my view during transaction creation Item Category should be determined automatically.
One more thing I am confused about "Higher Level Item Category" and "Lower Level Item Category" please explain.
Thanks and Regards
Rahul

Hi,
Thanks for your reply, as per your guidance left the "Item Category" field blank, and also the "Main Item Category" as blank and selected my "ZTAN" in Item category.
After that It worked, and the Item Category perfectly determined.
But there is error for "ATP" not checked. Can you please explain. Also please explain what is "Main Item Category".
As you have said the higher level category is for main product, and lower level category is for dependent product like free product, then if there is scenario where no free product , in that case what should be done?
Thanks and Regards
Rahul

Hi,
Go to IMG u2013 SD u2013 Sales u2013 Schedule Lines u2013 Assign schedule line categories.
Over there check the assignment of your combination.
Item category which is determined in scheduling agreement.
Then MRP type which you have given in the material master data.
So first note down these setting then check the combination of this setting in path given above.
If there is no setting made then click on the new entry.
Give the assignment of your combination and save it.
Now try to create your document in the VA31 and check whether every thing runs fine or not.

Service order Item category on Contract determination

Hi
We have contract determination on CRM service orders and it is working as expected. Our Service contract makes the Service order free of charge but its still generates the debit memo in ECC system with zero value.
We don't want this to happen so a work around will to have the item categories different when the Service order has a contract. These item categories will not be configured for ECC billing integration in R/3 plug-in hence no debit memo will be generated.
My question to Service gurus is that is there another way of achieving this? if not is there a way to flip the item category after contract determination without putting in any code.
Thanks and Regards
Rupesh Patil

Rupesh,
I dont think we can flip item category without coding..!. but certainly possible with coding.

Item category is not determined in CRM order

Hi Friends,
Our requirement is as follows
We have 1 sales org like Z111 and 2 distribution channels like dist chan Z1 and Z2, we want a material say for eg "material A" should be 3rd party item by assigning item category grp "BANS" in sales org Z111 and dist chan Z1. The same material i.e, "material A" should be standard item by assigning "NORM" in sales org Z111 and dist chan Z2.
We have done the above scnario in CRM system ( we have assigned BANS for material A in sales org Z111 and dist chan Z1 and NORM for the same material in sales org Z111 and dist chan Z2.
But problem is when I create order for sales org Z111 and dist chan Z1 in CRM, the item category is determined as TAN instead TAS. Item category determination is already existing the CRM system.
This scenario is working fine in my back end system i.e, R/3 but it is not wrking in CRM.
Can anyone give me some clue about this.
Thanks in advance
JM

Hi JM
First check in your CRM system if the material in extended to both the distribution channels.
Tcode: COMMPR01
Sale org tab should have entry for dist chan Z1 and Z2.
Click on Z1 and maintain iten cat grp : BANS
Click on Z2 and maintain iten cat grp : NORM
Now check your item category determination. It should have following 2 entries:
IMG > CRM > transactions > basic settings > define item category determination
transaction type: ZORD
item category group: BANS
item category: TAS
transaction type: ZORD
item category group: NORM
item category: TAN
hope this helps

Item category determination for Free Goods

Hi
I have configured inclusive Free Goods and have a second line correctly determined when I create a quotation or a sales order for a particular product.
However, I keep getting the error "Item 20: No item category could be determined".
I have created an entry in item category determination with TAN as my main item category and TANN as the item category for the free goods.
Any ideas?
regards
Tim

I forgot to specify that the usage was for Free Goods in the item category determination.
It now works.

You determine for each business transaction variant which item categories can or must be posted here.
The following error occurred for the document you entered:

Item category determination during Purchase Requisition creation from APO

Im creating a SNP Purchase Requisition in APO and when it is published to R/3, a Purchase Requisition document is created in R/3.
When this PR is created in R/3, I want the Item Category to be determined based on the Material master Special Procurement Type. ( eg: Id like the Item category to be L if the Material master Special Procurement Type = 30 (Subcontracting) ). But by standard, this field is coming as Blank and this field could only be populated during the creation from APO.
I found a user exit ( CIFPUR02 : Enhancement of Purchase Order Interface (Inbound) ) on R/3 where I tried to populate the Item Category, but when I do this, all the purchase order related data is getting deleted and hence no PRs are getting created in R/3.
Could anyone please tell me if this could be resolved using configuration and if not any tips to do this technically would be very helpful.
Thanks,
Harsha

Hi Karun,
This is the code i'm using...
select single * from marc into lit_marc
where matnr = c_eban-matnr
and    werks = c_eban-werks.
append lit_marc.
read table lit_marc with key matnr = c_eban-matnr
                             werks = c_eban-werks
                             sobsl = 30.
if sy-subrc = 0.
c_eban-pstyp = '3'.
endif.
Here sobsl = 30 is the Special procurement type
But when i try to populate c_eban-pstyp = '3', during the creation of Purchase Requisitions in R/3, in the program SAPLEMPI -> LMEPIF01
this condition is encountered which deletes all the data in the tables that is used to create Purchase requisitions.
<i>* get rsnum in the case of subcontracting
      IF XEBAN-PSTYP EQ PSTYP-LOHN AND                      "RB240999
         EXITFLAG_ORDID IS INITIAL.                         "RB240999
refresh all component tables
        CALL FUNCTION 'ME_COMPONENTS_REFRESH'
             EXCEPTIONS
                  OTHERS = 1.</i>
Could you please suggest me anything to get around this.
Thanks,

User Exits for Item Category Determination based on Item Category Usage

Hi Gurus,
If I need to create a new item category usage code and perform item category determination using the new item category usage code, is there a user exit or function module which is able to perform this?
Thanks & Regards

Hi Lawrence Tam,
If you are going to create a new item category usage to determine an item category, you need to add a new line in transaction VOV4 for the new combination of sales document type + Item Cat. group + usage + high leve item cat. to determine the item category.
Thanks in advance,
Mariano.

Item Category Determination- Usage

Hi All,
I am looking into my system configuration for item category determination.
I know that Item category is determined based on
1. Sales document type
2. Item category group
3. Usage and
4. Higher level item cat group
Here, I came to know that Usage is determined from Customer material info record. But in my system, I see a Line item with out usage maintained in CMIR but detemined the item category relevant for usage.
Any of you guys have a thought on this?
Thank you
Kris

Item Usage is not a mandatory field in CMIR (T.Code: VD51). Hence the same can be left blank and item category will be determined accordingly.
From configuration point of view, I was refering to as under:
Sales Order Type | Item Category Group | Usage | H.L. Item cate | Default Item Category
OR | NORM | blank | blank | TAN
OR | NORM | blank | TAP | TAN
OR | NORM | APO0 | TAPA | TAN

Item category determination in shipment cost

Dear Experts,
How item category determination in shipment cost document.
Regards
Ishikesh

Hi,
Item Category can be determined automatically or manually based on the settings.
1>Item categories can be determined automatically:
Item categories are assigned to shipment cost type,then the system propose item category in the shipment cost doc
2> Item category - manual entry
If item category needs to be entered manually , then this needs to be mentioned in the item category detail screen< manually propose >, this will aloow to add/enter item cat in the shipment cost doc.
