Opportunity creation: product item category not permitted

Hi SAP Gurus,
After some difficulties, we succeeded in transfering products from R/3 to CRM.
Now we would like to create an opportunity, associated with a customer and a product (in fact consultant services).
In the 'Products' tab of the opportunity creation, we have to fill the field 'item category'. Whatever we type in it, we have always the same error 'The item category XXXX is not permitted for product YYYY'.
Do we have any configuration to do or to import from R/3, concerning item category? How could we bypass this error?
Thanks for your help
Anne

First check which item category group your products use. then:
SPRO->CRM->transactions->basic settings
Define Item Categories, refered to an opportunity item.
Then Define Item Category Determination. Add a line with transaction type OPPT and your item category group.

Item category not available in the table T184

Hi Gurus,
When the PP consultant is trying to Create Individual Items using MD81, it is giving the error " Item category not available in the table T184" But from the SD side, I have assigned the item category to the sales document type. also the field for item category ( PSTYV ) is present in the table T184. What can be the problem? is this any issue related to SD?
Thanks & Regards
Kaushik Ghosh

Check the material master for the material for which you are trying to create the Independent Requirements. The Item Category group mentioned should be be wrong there, as by message i am understanding that system is not able to determine the Item Category for your concerned material.
Item category determination is done in T184 table with the combination Sales Document Type/Item Category group/Item Usage/Item Category of Higher level item/ Default Item Category.
Hope this helps.

TO confirmation error - item category not defined

Hi experts,
We have a HU/WM setup in our warehouse. While i try to confirm the TO i am getting an error 'item category not defined'?
I am able to confirm the TO's for other orders, this is happenning for a specific group of orders which have a different item category in delivery.
Any hints when this error will appear?
Is there any config where we assign the delivery item category with the warehose or any other setting?
Thanks,
Harish
Edited by: Harish RJ on Jan 24, 2011 7:02 AM

I suggest have a look at OSS note 1464539 - your settings in table T184L might be wrong.
Is it possible that the batch is determined via WM, during picking? If different batches have been determined for one item, it will cause batch split in your delivery - if settings in T184L are wrong, system cannot cope with it and may throw error message VL324.
(sorry for duplicate, I was slow a little bit and "Sap: IN" said the same in the meanwhile)

Package Quotation item category not populating

Hi,
I am trying to create a package quotation for a package product in CRM 2007. When I am adding the package product to the package quotation, the item category of the package items (components of product package) is not getting determined. I tried adding these items individually (not as a part of package) and the item category was getting determined fine. Has anyone encountered this issue?
Any answers or hints would be very helpful.
Thanks,
Sudha

I will highly appreciate if someone can answer my question.
Basically, the item category of components in a product package is not getting determined automatically and I am getting the error 'Item Category can't be determined' when saving package quotation.
Thanks!

Posting to G/L accounts with open item management not permitted Fagl_post

Dear Expert,
When i run the foreign cur rev. through FAGL_FC_VAL then system is not post the currency rev on open item on GL account. It showing subject message and also show below mesaage:-
Message no. FAGL_POST_SERVICE012
Diagnosis
You use GL account 210012 in company code 1000 with open item management. However, posting are not permitted G/L accounts in individual ledger with open item management.
Please advice on this issue.
Thanks & Regards,
Pankaj

Hello Pankaj,
Is your adjustment account was defiined as OI management. if yes, then t is generally not permitted to use the O/I managed account as an djustment account. The adjustment account is the same as O/I
managed GL account, so the error message FAGL_POST_SERVICE012 is issued. This is justified because open items must be made valid for ALL ledgers in the client but FAGL_FC_TRANS posts ledger specific posting by having ledger group in the document header - Ledger Grp 0L.
The best solution is to assign non-O/I managed account as an adjustment account, and this is the 'standard' solution.Please also check note 884639.

found.The item which is issued is Inventory + purchase item with manual issue method.The valuation
method for that item is FIFO.since the valuation method is FIFO,error related to item cost should
not occur.
Since the valuation method is FIFO.Item cost error should not occur.
The error related to item cost must not occur at the time of issue for production.

Item Category not Defined Error message when deleting a batch item in Deliv

Hi,
I am trying with a Intercompany transfer . So after creating Interco. Transfer we have followed with a delivery document.
Now,we would like to delete the delivery document. For your info. Del. doc is still open. We haven't gone for Goods issue or anything else.

But we get the error message "Item catgeory Not defined". but we could see entries for Item category Determination with the particular Delivery typeItem Category Group from Material MasterItem Usage+Item Category.
Why does system throw "Item catgeory Not defined". when there are entries for particular determination available .

Item category not changeable in sales order

Hi
I have a material where the item category is not changeable in the sales order after you have pressed 'enter' after the material number. It is a bundle material number, with a BOM (structure scope 'A') - does this mean that the item category is greyed out for change?
It is causing a problem because to select the manual item category in item category assignment, you have to change it before you press enter (and when you do that it only gives you a full list of item categories rather than the ones you can select for the assignment table).
Jon

this is standard sap !
the reason is that if you change something that has relations with other object then problems can raise.
You cannot do anything for this but you can make a user exit at your own risk that 'opens' up the field:
the exit looks like this:
MV45AFZZ
FORM userexit_field_modification.
CASE screen-group2.
    WHEN 'LOO'.
      IF screen-name = YourItemCategory AND xvbup-gbsta = ' '.
        screen-input = 1.
        MODIFY SCREEN.
      ENDIF.
ENDCASE.
ENDFORM.                    "USEREXIT_FIELD_MODIFICATION

Right item category not getting copied while copying sales order

Hi,
We have a scenario where we are coping an existing order document and maintaining a new order document.
The problem is that when we are copying the existing order, we ll not get the same item categories in the copied order as available in the original order.
The Free of Cost item categories of the materials got changed to the normal item categories, which should not happen.
Let me know if any configuration changes made in system can fix this issue.
Cheers!!!
Ajay

Hi,
This may be due to copycontrol between these two sales order. In copy controls, you are retriggering the item category determination.
When you define the copy control from SO to SO, select the item category and keep the source and target item category as same. (Same for schedule line category also). Once this is done, your problem will be solved.

Item category not change able after saving

Hi guys,
I have a problem (ECC 6.0).
After saving a sales order, I'm not able to change the item category for the added item after saving the document. It's some kind of service material (DIEN) to charge labour to the customer.
I found that if I maintain the MRP3 view with the strategy group 10, I'm able to change the category after saving. But as the MRP views are disabled for service materials (DIEN) and there's no need for MRP for service materials, I don't get rid of the problem.
Please help me to solve that problem.
Best Regards,
Florian

Normally If it is open sales order then you can able to change the item category provided manual item categories available in T Code - VOV4, if there are any subsequent documents are there then you are no longer to change the same.
