Order type & Item Category

Dear SAPers,
i used to work with the standard Order Type and Item Category. Now i decided to copy and change them. By raising the sales order (with my order type 9OR) i don't get the item category 9TAN that i created. How can i solve that.
Thanks

Hi
Go to (VOV4) and do the Item category Determination for your Sales Document Type, Item Category Group & Default Item category. if this assignment is done, then once u raise the sales order then u can find your item category.
Hope this will help.
Thanks & Regards

Please let me know why this field ( item category still showing in display mode) and How to make it as editable .I need it as editable in ME22 to implement the new requirement of updating that field with item ategory B.
Thanks in Advance

Hi All,
Since I was creating a PO with respect to PR - after running through all the screens the item category field was becoming non editable, But during the create in one of screen the field item category was still editable, so I updated the item category with B during the create and created the PO, I have used BDC to do the same and its working fine. Thanks for all your inputs.

Suppresing Delivery note prints for certain sales order types/item category

Hi
I need to find a way of suppressing some delivery notes from being printed.
Relating to orders for consignment fill up and consignment issue.
The delivery notes are needed to be printed for 'Consignment fill up order' type, BUT not for Consignment issue - as this is confusing some of the warehouse staff at month end.
All have the same delivery type, the only difference i can see is the item category types are different
Is there a way i can use the sales order type, with customer number as an access sequence for the Output type ?
- Or the Item category type ?
Is it possible to add sales order type or Item category into the FIELD CATALOG :- output for deliveries
Your help would be much appreciated
Cheers
Tony

Hi,
I can suggest you something, but do remember that I've never done such kind of thing till date.
>> Copy LF and create new delivery type
>> Assign this to your consignment doc. types
>> Kindly remove the Header output determination procedure assigned to this new delivery type
>> Then assign output det. procedure at Item level {according to Item category}
>> Then check if will cater to your requirment or not.
Please keep one thing in mind that I am giving you a proposal by thinking in one logical way and I can't confirm the practicality of the proposal.

Sale order with item category TAN not getting displayed in md04

We have a sale order with item category TAN, Schedule line category CP, MRP type ND and availability check as 07. This is not getting reflected in md04. But item category TAB gets displayed under the PR number.
Please let me know what checks to be made or changes to be done for the sale order with item category TAN to get displayed in md04 screen
Thanks & Regards

Payments based on inventory type, item category...

Hi,
I am trying to develop a report to show unrecorded liabilities - basically, I need to find out if there are payments/accounting documents/invoice number existing in the system, that has no connecting documents in purchase or sales side. I am able to do this using REGUP/BSEG/VBAP/EKPO (and corresponding header) tables.
I am stuck at one requirement though.
"Segregate payments in to inventory, non-inventory, no-link categories based on product/service (item type/item category) or/and vendor type (inventory/non-inventory)."
Can someone please tell me how to divide payments as mentioned above? Is it based on material type?
Thanks in advance!

If FI postings for inventory and non-inventory are posted to different G/L accounts then you should be able to filter that using HKONT field in BSEG. On the purchasing side, if G/L account number won't suffice then check if you can use cost element field KOSTL. On the sales side you should be able to filter this using PRCTR.
If this approach cannot be used then you have to drill down to VBEP table and check if there is a movement type attached to this order item (for third party items, check for VBEP-LFREL = X). This will be accurate depending on how sales configuration was set up.
On the purchasing side, use a combination Item category and Account assignment category in table EKPO to identify and segregate the totals.

PS: The first approach is the best approach and I hope that is how they have configured it in your system

Credit Check while creation of Sales Order for Item Category Purchase Req

Hi Experts,
We are creating Sales Order using an Order Type ABCD for a material 1000. While creating Sales Order, we use Item categories (ZOVD, ZOVB,ZOST,ZOVP and ZOBO).
Credit Check settings are there at Order Type ABCD as well as all the Item Categories (ZOVD, ZOVB,ZOST,ZOVP and ZOBO). We are trying to test a scenario where a customer does not have enough credit limit while creating a sales order.
When we create a sales order for Item Categories (ZOVD, ZOVB,ZOST,ZOVP), credit check fails because our customer does not have enough credit limit, so that Sales Order gets created and Delivery does not get created (This is what we want), then we go into VKM1 manually and relase the sales order and then if we go to VA02 and check the status of the Sales Order, it says sales order status is complete. My Sales Team is saying here also Purchase Requisition is getting created.
When we create a sales order for Item category ZOBO, it is going into Purchase Requisition screen. Once we give another plant in the create purchase requisition screen and save it we are getting a message that cannot create Purchase Requisiton because of Credit Block.
The settings were same for all the Item categories.
1) What made difference to complete Purchase Requisition for Item Categories (ZOVD, ZOVB,ZOST,ZOVP) and not for Item Category ZOBO when my customer is not having enough credit Limit.
2) Why Purchase Requisition screen is not coming for us when we create an Sales Order for Item Categories (ZOVD, ZOVB,ZOST,ZOVP). We only get Create Purchase Requisiton Screen for Item Category ZOBO.

Hi,
None of the Item Categories has Create PO Automatically.

Returnable Packing - Sales order maintainance / Item Category determination

Gurus,
I have question about returnable packing regarding sales order entry and item category determination
1) Sales order : Should we do entry of returnable packing in Sales Order as a regular item
Example : The material M1 - 100unites needs returnable packing materials PK1 5 unites.
Therefore in sales order it should be entered as below
M1 - 100unites
PK1 - 5unites
Please commnet.
2) Item category determination should be done at sales document level
Sales document type + Item category group (LEIH) + Usage (PACK) + Higher lever item Cat (???) = TAL
Please commnet.
Regards,
Ashish

Hi
Yes Ashish you need to enter the returnable as a separate item in the sales order
For qn no 2 the item categories of higher levelitems can be TAN and TAX
Sales document type + Item category group (LEIH) + Usage (PACK) + Higher lever item Cat (blank) =TAL
Sales document type + Item category group (LEIH) + Usage (PACK) + Higher lever item Cat (TAN) =TAL
Sales document type + Item category group (LEIH) + Usage (PACK) + Higher lever item Cat (TAX)=TAL
Note returnable packing items are creates as a separate materials with material type as LEIH and item category group as LEIH
How to bring back the returnable packaging stocks to your plant
Creating a Returnable Packaging Pick-Up
Create a sales order using order type LA /AT.
Enter the required data on the customer, the returnable packaging, and the plant to which the materials are to be returned.
Enter all other relevant data and save the order.
Create a returns delivery for the sales order when the materials reach your company.
The system proposes delivery type LR automatically. The transaction is completed by the goods receipt posting which initiates a transfer posting from the customer's special stock to your plant stock.

Subcontracting Order with Item Category L from Sales Order

Hi ,
I am looking for the way to create an Purchase requisition automatically from a sale order with Item Category "L" Subcontracting.
I tried but it is creating a PR with Item category "S" Third Party.
Can any body tell me where I am missing.
Thanks ,
Lekhram

Hi,
From the sales order look at your schedule lines to find which Schedule Line category is being called for your master data and document type of Sales Order.
Go to config for schedule line category and change the item category assigned in its details. This item category is not to be confused with your SD item category. This one is of purchase requisition that gets generated from SO# in the case of Third party.
IMG> Sales and Distribution>Sales>Schedule Lines>Define Schedule Line Categories
It would be 5 - Third Party. Change it to 3 - Subcontracting.
Reward if helpful.

Delivery Output determiantion using Delivery type & Item category

Dear all,
I am facing a problem while triggering output using Delivery type/Item Category access in access sequence xyz. I have maintained the condition record for this access and did all the necessary customization settings.
When i maintain the condition record for other access in Access sequence xyz the out put is being triggered.
After some analysis i found that the Delivery type/Item category is using different communication structures.
ie. Delivery type is using KOMKBV2-LFART. where as Item Category is using KOMPBV2-PSTYV. The output is a header output.
can any one explain the problem here in maintaining different comm structures for an access for generating header output.
Thanks in advance for your inputs.
Best Regards
Satish

Hi,
You mean to say its not triggering the output automatically.....
If that is the case then goto the condition type in IMG and in tab "default values" make the dispatch time as "send immediately when saving the application" this will automatically triggers the output based on the condition records.....

MD04: Unable to see Purchase Orders with Item Category S

Hi,
Whenever we create Purchase Orders with Item Category S (3rd party), they are not visible in MD04 Stock Requirements list.
Is there anyway we can get the Item category S Orders to be displayed in the MD04 list?

Hi,
I am unable to see Third party POs with open quantity also.
If I create a PO with blank item category (i,e to stock, it will show in MD04)
but if i create PO with item category S (it does not show in MD04)
Can you suggest how we can get item category S POs to be displayed in MD04

Sales Order - Using Item Category "TAB Individual PO" / convert PReq to PO

All,
I am configuring for the first time utilizing Sales Document Item category "TAB" - Individual Purchase Order. I have a few questions:
Is there a best practice/baseline package configuration guide specific for this process? I have found the 'third party' baseline package J54, but nothing so far on "individual purchase order from sales order'.
During Purchase Order Create from the Purchase Req. is there a way to default Purchase Order Type "UB" stock transfer from the Purchase Requisition type NB? Currently in my system, the PO type defaulting is NB and it needs to be UB. I thought this could be done based on the schedule line "CB" configuration (spro/SD/Sales/Sales Docs/Schedule Lines/Define Schedule Lines), changing the 'item category' to 7 stock transfer. Then, for the configuration setting spro/MM/Purchasig/Purchase Req/ Define Document Types, this would carry into the mapping for purchase requisition type NB/item category stock transfer to purchase order type UB/item category stock transfer. However, when I set '7' on the schedule line CB, I then receive a hard error when creating my purchase req to set the supplying plant. I have more than one supplying plant, so I'm not sure if setting the '7' for schedule line CB is the right setting for this process. From what I've been able to find for documentation, the item category of the schedule line should be set to '0' standard. My plan is to convert the PReq's into PO's in background, but I need to default the correct PO Type. Any help would be useful.

Link Material Type Item Category

Hi,
How can i make the link between the material type and the item category when the material has NO BOM ? Otherwise each time a PM order si created the item category has to be filled (stock or no stock). I know it is there i just can't find it.
Thanks,
Olivier

Hello,
Can you brief me on how it works?
When i checked the setting of link item category with the material type then it shows me that the item category is to be defined based on the material type and maintenance plant. But what is the relation in term of the order type i.e. whenever i create any order with a specifica order type, the default item category should get reflected on the componenets tab of the order?
Can you guide me how to do this setting.

Sales Order - Using Item Category 'TAB' - Individual Purchase Order

From what I've been able to find for documentation, the item category of the schedule line should be set to '0' standard.
When I perform the post Goods Issue 601 of Special Stock "E" - to the customer (once the stock has been received into the right plant), the system is not creating an Accounting/FI Document to relieve the inventory and charge cost of goods sold. I have reviewed automatic account assignment entries and these appear correct for 601 E. Are there special settings for special stock "E" that I need to consider.
If you cannot answer all of these questions, but can answer one of them, I am most interested in teh last question above.

Hi Reazuddin,
What I don't understand is why:
if I don't create PO --> I can create Outobund Delivery in Individual Purchase Order but if I create PO (not MIGO) I cannot create OBD in IPO. (Note: in both cases I agree PGI is not possible)
The flowchart is: Sale Order (IPO) --> Purchase Requisition --> Purchase Order (PO) --> MIGO (inbound delivery) --> MIRO (Vendor invoice verification) --> Outbound delivery ( delivery [OBD] + picking + posting[PGI]) --> Sales Invoice
As per your comments:
System will not stop you to create delivery, though you customize delivery item cat: as Check min qtty "0" - error message. because system checks for PGI qtty, but not the delivery qtty.
But then in the case I create Sale order (IPO) + PO (without MIGO) --> the system should not stop me executing Outbound Delivery. It should stop me only if I execute Posting goods issue. But actually in this case, the system is stopping me at outbound delivery.
I agree with Posting Goods Issue behaviour. It is logical in the following cases:
Only Sale order (IPO) created --> PGI is not possible
Sale Order (IPO) created + PO created --> PGI is not possible
Sale Order (IPO) created + PO created + MIGO executed (inbound) --> PGI is possible.
Thank you very much for your feedback.
