PO - Document Type FO and Item Category B - Can they be transferred to SUS?
Hi SDN
We are using R/3 4.7 with SRM 5.0 - Classic Scenario and XI 4.0. We are just about to launch an SUS project to put our PO's on SUS for our suppliers. Our organization is dealing with PO's for both Goods and Services. As we know that there are no problems about putting the GR-Type PO's (NB type) on SUS but I would like to know if it is possible to transfer PO's that would be from the Document Type FO and Item Category B (Blanket PO) to SUS and ensure that our suppliers can do the entire PO Acknowledgement, PO Change and post the Invoice via SUS. If not, what are the options for our R/3 - SUS installation?
Thanks!

Item:000001.Order type ZBBK and Item category TAN not customized for
Hello all,
I got the following error message when trying to create an order. Please suggest.
Item:000001.IP type ZBBK and Item category TAN
not customized for
Thanks,In config, you have to have assignment of the document types to the item category groups.
In SPRO you can Assign Item Category Usage for a combination of -
1] Sales Document Type
2] Item Category Group and
3] High level Item Category etc.
The path in SPRO is Sales and Dist --> Sales --> Sales Documents --> Sales Document Item --> Assign Item Categories.
Just below "Define Item Category Usage".
Hope this helps.
Reward points if the answer is helpful.

Document type and item category
Hi All,
I have created two document types in MM for creating Purchasing Requisition. One for material and for service and material. But when i am selecting service and material document type, the item category at item level is automatically converted to D(Service) even though i dont select any thing(material). I have not done any settings for iterm category based on document type. Pls let me know why i am facing this problem.
Thanks,
RajuHi Amit,
For both the document types (Material and service, service) the item category standard and service are assinged. I have checked in SPRO--->MM-->Purchasing->Purchase requisition-->Define document type--->Check Allowed item category assingment and Link purchase requisition document type.
Hi Raghavendra
If SAP standard service document type then we cant take material and can take service only for creating PR, but in my case i have created one document type and named it as service and for this document type i have assigned item category of service and standard. In this case it should allow me to create PR with standard item category, but its not allowing me to do so. Pls let me know how can i solve this issue.
Thanks,

Sales Order - Reasons for material Nr and item category being disabled
Hello,
In some of our sales orders items (without subsequent documents), SAP disables fields Material Nr and Item Category. Can you please help on the reasons for this? Please note that we do not use configurable materials.
Regards,
JoãHi,
The material number will always comes greyed out in standard SAP. You cannot change the material number. If you want to change it, you have to delete the line as a whole and then introduce a new line with new material.
For the item category field, it is either greyed out or available for editing based on the configuration done in the tcode VOV4. For the sales order type, item category group etc.....if you maintain only one item category as the default IC, then this field will be greyed out after populating the default I.C. If there are alternate I.Cs maintained here, then this field is available for editing. Please check this once. -
Order type and Item category group
Can anyone tell me which is the relation between order type and Item category group from material master ??
In fact the problem is that I have created a material and when I want to create new sales order it gives me this errror:
"No item category available (Table T184 ZORDER ZITGR)"
Is there a tranzaction where I can assign Item category group ZITGR to sale order type ZORDER or something like that??
What should i do?Hi Dan,
Goto T-Code VOV4 and maintain the table
Sales Doc type + Item Category Group + Usage + Higher level Item Category = Item Category
TA + NORM + Nil + Nil = TAN
If you have Customized your own Document Type and Item Category Group and Item Category then give your
Sales Doc type (ZORDER)+ Item Category Group (ZITGR)+ Usage + Higher level Item Category = Item Category (ZTAN)

Link material type and item category.
Hi,
Can you brief me on how following setting in SPRO works?
Plant maintenance - Maintenance and service processing - Maintenance and service order - General data - Define default values for componenet item category
When i checked, this setting is to link item category with the material type and item category is 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?
Is it possible?
Can you guide me how to do this setting.
ThansksHi,
Yes it is posible to make all order types item category mark as stcok item "L" as default value. Very well u can set it at following menu path under PM&CS Node
Maintenance and Service Orders
Functions and Settings for Order Types
General Data

Reqirement type and item category
dear friends,
can u please tell me the link between requirement type and item category?
i want to use the special stock for the delivery and as well as purchase requirement in case stock is not there...
i m getting the right combination.
plzz help....Hi Deepak,
This is strategy for Determining the Requirements Type
. First, an attempt is made to find a requirements type using the strategy group in the material master.
. If the strategy group has not been maintained, the system will determine it using the MRP group.
. If the MRP group has not been defined, the system uses the material type instead of the MRP group when accessing the corresponding control tables.
. If no requirements type is found here, the system assumes a special rule and attempts to find a requirements type with the aid of the item category and the MRP type.
. If this is not possible, a last attempt is made to find a requirements type with the item category only.
. If the last attempt fails, the system declares the transaction as not relevant for the availability check or transfer of requirements.

Disable the Item Availability Button based on Order type and Item category
Hi ,
My requirement is to disable the Item availability check button in VA01 based on the Order Type & Item category. Is there any user Exits/ Badi / FM available for this.
Thanks in advance.
Srinivas.Hi,
Although it is an old post I need to answer for people who search an answer to the same type of question. To hide a field
you can use transaction variant 'tcode:SHD0'. But it is not based on Order type and Item category. May be you can use
USEREXIT_FIELD_MODIFICATION form in user-exit MV45AFZZ. You can loop at screen and set screen-active = 0 in fields
where you want them to be inactive. -
Difference between Material type and Item category
What is the difference between Material type and Item category?
We can differentiate different kind of materails according to material type then why do we have Item category which is also more or less on the same lines.
Both can be considered as a terminology in SAP to group similar kind of materials.
Please let me know the exact difference between the two?Dear Christino
We can list out so many differences.
When you create a material master record, the material type you choose determines:
- Whether the material is intended for a specific purpose, for example, as a configurable material or process material
- Whether the material number can be assigned internally or externally
- The number range from which the material number is taken
- Which screens appear and in what sequence
- Which departmental data you may enter
- What procurement type the material has; that is, whether it is manufactured in-house or procured externally, or both
Together with the plant, the material type determines the material's inventory management requirement; that is:
- Whether changes in quantity are updated in the material master record
- Whether changes in value are also updated in the stock accounts in financial accounting
In addition, the accounts affected by a material entering or leaving the warehouse depend on the material type.
-Most importantly, Users can be authorized to create materials of specific material types but not based on item category
- Item category will define whether the material should be valuated for stock or it should be considered as non-stock
- Pricing is carried out based on Item Category and not based on Material type
thanks

Material and item category relationship
For a given material, how can I get item category and higher level item category.
I know mara stores item category group and t184 stores item category group and item category
Thanks.Think you are going wrong way.
Item Category and High Level Item Category are not assigned to Material, but they are assigned to Sales Document Type and Item Category Group. As you mentioned, you can get the details from table T184.
Table T184 gives the options on how the system has to react in various scenarios.
Combination of Sales Document Type in Sales Order, Item Category Group which is from Material Master and... result in the Item Category that is populated for the Item.

A/c assignment category and item category fields purpose
what is the importance of account assignment category and item category fields in po(me21n).what is the impact of that fields.
Hi,
Account Assignment category is a vital field in purchasing document & has many control functions and helps in determining the object that will be charged in case of an ordered material which is procured for direct usage or consumption. By using the
account assignment category in the purchasing documents the cost of the material can be apportioned to a single Controlling object or it can be apportioned among various Controlling objects.
The account assignment category determines:
a.The nature of the account assignment
b.Which accounts are to be charged when goods receipt is posted
c.Which accounts are to be charged when the incoming invoice are posted
d.Which account assignment data you must provide
Item category is vital field in the purchasing documents & has many control functions and helps in determining whether an ordered material:
a.Requires a material number
b.Requires an account assignment
c.is to be placed in stock
d.Requires a goods receipt (GR) and/or an invoice receipt (IR)
In addition to the above it is also used for differentiating the different types of procurement processes and the types of stocks including special stocks available.

I am mapping my service center scenario in sap,
We are consumer product manufacturer when material is wthin warranty or outside warranty, for any defects or replacement customer come with defective material to my service center.
When i will post receipt for the material it should be the CUSTOMER stock,
For that i need detailed information about special stock indicator B and movement type combination.
also item category C in purchasing documents.
plz tell me that i can directly configure these things in sap or B and C both are standard provided by sap.
I am using 4.7 in my system B and C both are not available.Hi
In the Standard Sytem these are the special Stock Indicators
E Orders on hand

M Ret.trans.pkg vendor
O Parts prov. vendor
P Pipeline material

Requisition has different doc. type NB and item cat
hi all,
i got one PR from project system account assignment category N item category standard
but i am converting that pr to subcontracting PO i am getting following error" _Requisition has different doc. type NB and item cat"_Hi, I came across an alternative solution to do subcontracting with project stock. From the online documentation:
Subcontracting for Sales Order Stock and Project Stock
Purpose
Subcontracting is also possible in conjunction with sales order stocks and project stocks. The subcontracting orders are account-assigned to a sales order or a WBS element. Thus, the components are not transferred (using a transfer posting) to the "stock of material provided to vendor" but are directly withdrawn from the sales order stock or the project stock at the time of the goods receipt. The material manufactured is also posted to the sales order stock or to the project stock. The cost of subcontracting is then debited to the sales order or WBS element.
Since the components are not transferred to the "stock of material provided to vendor", we recommend that you use a transfer posting to transfer the provided components to a new storage location (for example, 9999). This enables you to obtain an overview of those stocks that are physically located at the subcontractor. This information is particularly important when you carry out a physical inventory of the sales order stocks and project stocks.
Features
Withdrawal from Stock of Mat. Provided or Sales Order/Project Stock
For components that are managed in sales order stock or project stock, you can define whether the components are to be withdrawn directly from each sales order/project stock or from the stock of material provided to vendor. You manage this via the dependent requirements indicator for individual customer requirements and collective requirements (MARC-SBDKZ).
You can maintain this indicator in the following places:
in the MRP view of the material master record (MRP 4)
in the explosion types for the BOM item (in Customizing for Production in the step Basic Data -> Bill of Material -> Item Data -> Define explosion types)
Configuring the explosion types has priority over the configuration in Inventory Management.
If the indicator is set at Collective requirements only (2), the materials are withdrawn from the stock of material provided to vendor. If this indicator is set any other way, the system withdraws materials from sales order stock or project stock

Schedule line category and item category
Hi all,
Can some body explain what is the use and differences between Schedule line category and item category?
Where exactly they come into picture when a sales cycle is done? it would be very helpful.
Thanks in advance.
ManuHi,
SCHEDULE LINE CATEGORY:-
Schedule line Category determines the Schedule lines for the Line item, it will determine whether the Item is relevant for Delivery or not
Transfer of Requirements are also controlled
Availability check at the Sales order is controlled with the Indicator set at SCHEDULE LINES
For Third Party processing, the Purchase requisition is created based on the Setting at schedule lines
Together with the ITEM CATEGORY , the schedule lines determine whether the Transaction is Relevant for MRP or not In the Transaction code VOV5
ITEM CATEGORY:-
Item category is a significant part in processing the sales document
Item category determines whether particular item is relevant for Delivery ot not,
Whether item is relevant for the Billing
In Determine the Availability and TOR Item category plays an important role, for example the Availability check at DELIVERY will be taken place based on the DELIVERY ITEM CATEGORY
Some Fnctionalities like OUTPUT, TEXT, PARTNER, INCOMPLETION are controlled
DIP which in the ITEM CATEGORIES is the Main Integration Between SD and PS
