Preceding Ref Mandatory issue Item Category definition

Hi Friends,
Here I am facing a problem that, I have created an item category which will be used in Quotation creation.
And Maintained Preceding Ref. Object type as 'Opportunity', made its as mandatory.
But while I am creating Quotation, its not showing any error even though there is no any preceding reference document.
Please let me know the reason.
Thanks,
Manoj

You can try this.
Go to IMG SD > Basic Functions > Partner Determination > Set Up Partner Determination > Set Up Partner Determination for Sales Document Item.
There create a new Partner Det.Procedure say Z, by copying standard N. Next click on Partner Functions in Procedure.  Now, against this new Z procedure, you can see that special stock partner.  Against that partner, select the box Mandatory.
Next click on Partner Determination Procedure Assignment and select Item Category KEN and assign Z.
Finally, assign this Z to your item category in VOV7
Now try the process and update the forum.
thanks

  • Partner function mandatory for Item category

    Hi all,
    Here is the requirement & current settings,
    For consignment sales process ,we have 2 diff. item cat.  ,    for both common partners are SH,SP,BP,PY.
    For consgn. issue item category we ned retailer as mandatory partner.
    created a new partner as retailer & asigned in the account grourp,
    Created new partner procedure  with ship to party & retailer as mandatory functions & asigned to cons. issue item category.
    While creating consignment issue w.r.t consignment fill up, in the order the partner retailer has to be a mandatory function, but with current settings it is allowing to save the sales order.

  • Status Profile in Item Category Definition

    Hello All,
    Whats the significance of status Profile in Item category definition. Please provide your inputs.
    Thanks & regards
    Vittal

    Status Profile is used to control user statuses.
    A status profile is created by the user in general status management.
    In a status profile you can: Define the sequence in which user statuses can be activated Define initial statuses Allow or prohibit certain business transaction.
    There are two status in SAP. Once is system status and one is user status. This is currently used in my project under service management.
    I will give you small example to be very clear.
    Consider a product X is having some problem and needs service. So you call a service agent and he creates a notification in SAP (tcode IW51). Now once this is created, the overall completion status of notification like OPEN, closed, in process etc are system status. This can be seen in table JCDS.
    Now user status are the customized status client defines if any further transaction according to business process should happen or not. For example, if the unit is out of warranty and he needs a replacement, then customer will need to give money at discounted rate. Now once notification iscreated and there is no payment details, like credit card, the notifcation will go on credit block status which will change to released once payment is done. Now further processing of notification is not possible once this status of blocked changes.
    You can see the status profile and it connection to different status in table TJ30 and assigning this status profile in item category will define that item to behave accordingly as item cat are used to define behavior of the item in any document.
    This will surely give you a better idea of status profile. Reward accordingly.
    Kind Regards

    Regards,
    Vikas

    Hi dear,
    In SPRO-select the document type for whcih you want to set the condition.
    See what field selection key you have maintained for that document type. Path for it is
    SPRO-MATERIALS MANAGEMENT->PURCHASING->PURCHAS ORDER->DEFINED DOCUMENT TYPE.
    Now in SPRO go to
    SPRO-MATERIALS MANAGEMENT->PURCHASING->PURCHAS ORDER->DEFINED SCREEN LAYOUT AT DOCUMENT LEVEL.
    Now double click on the Field Selection Key which you have found in the above step.
    Double click on basic data,item and make required entry for External services Field as madatory by checking the box.
    This will work.
    Alternatively you can take gelp of your ABAP er ask him to put condition as per following logic.
    Service code to made mandatory if Purchasing organisation is SERV and Item category is D.

    Hi
        My requirement is: The item category N should allow me to use alternate UOM.
      When i checked with Item category L, the system allows me to use alternate UOM. I need the same to work for Itm category N also.
    Through  forums, i found that, in standard SAP, system will not allow to use alternate UOM for Item catedory N.
    Is there any config settings to be done for my requirement?
    Kindly do the needful.

  • Assign partner determination procedure to Item Category/Sales document type

    Hello All,
    How can I assign a partner determination procedure to an item category or sales document type? That field is disabled in item category config step. Please suggest.
    Thanks,
    lavanya

    HI Lavanya,
    The partner determination will happen through a different way and not through item category definition.
    The path would be
    S&D->MAster Data->Bussiness partners->customers->Customer hierarchy->set partner determination for hirearchy categories.
    In this you will have one option to define by item category.
    Hope this helps.

  • Issue while changing Item Category during Sales Order Creation

    Hi,
    Requirement:
    Requirement is to change the item category of Sales Order item while creating the sales order.
    Rule is: If item category is IRAT then it should be changed to IRLN.
    For this, I am using the user exit "USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT_PREPARE" available in the include MV45AFZZ.
    Issue:
    Using the above mentioned exit, Item category is getting changed to the desired value in the created sales order BUT value of Billing Status (VBUP-FKSAA) which is supposed to get changed is blank.
    For example, Sales order is created from VA01 and item category is changed manually to the value mentioned above, then for the sales order created we have VBUP-FKSAA = 'A'. But when value of Item category is not changed manually and it is changed from the exit, then value of VBUP-FKSAA is blank.
    I have to find a solution which would change the value of Billing Status according to the change in the value of Item Category.
    Please suggest a relevant solution.
    Thanks a lot for responding.
    Abhinav.
    Edited by: Abhinav Jain on Apr 9, 2010 6:47 PM

    Hi Abhinav,
    I have a simmilar problem. In my case I am changing Reason of Rejection in the user-exit, but net value is not getting updated. Did you solve your problem? Any other way to change a field of a sales order item?
    Thanking you in advance,

  • Unable to save the Sample Issues Doc for  item category TAN

    Hi,
    Created one sales doc type for Sample Issues.In this sales order when i enter the material and give customer discount 100% then value will zero.Now when i try to save this sales order then the system is showing the incompletion log and asking to maintain Net Value for the sales order.
    In OVA2 Net Value is maintained for the item category TAN.So i do not want to make any changes in OVA2 as it will affect other transaction material.
    If i manually changes TAN to TANN then i can save it.
    So what could be the other possible ways to solve this problem.
    regards
    Debasish

    Dear Debashis,
    T. Code: VOV7 --> Item Category: TAN --> Go to Details Page
    Here, under -
    Tab: Business Data --> Field: Pricing
    Maintain entry as "B     Pricing for free goods (100% discount)" OR keep it Empty.
    Now, try.
    Best Regards,
    Amit
    Note: Also, check the Incompletion Procedure, attached with Both the Item Categories, i.e. TAN and TANN
    I think, with -
    TAN, Incompletion Procedure would be 20, whereas
    TAN, Incompletion Procedure would be 24
    Now, go to T. Code: OVA2
    Check for Both the Incompletion Procedures, i.e. 20 - Standard Item and 24 - Free of Charge Item (for Group: Sales - Item)
    You will find settings:
    VBAP     NETWR     Net value     PKON     03     0
    with 20 - Standard Item and not with 24 - Free of Charge Item
    Hope, this would help you.
    Best Regards,
    Amit

  • Item Category Issue

    Dear Experts,
    While i create packaging in Handling unit ther is a tab  of Additional Data in Sales and distribution.In that we have Item Category - Issue is i am inputing manual item category TAN but i want to pick automatically.
    I am unable to find the setting for packaging Item category of Sales and distribution.
    Plz provide your inputs.
    Thanks
    Shri...

    Apart from what Jignesh suggested, follow the following steps for automatic packing:
    1 In the Shipping screen choose Pack/load - Pack delivery. You see the Change outbound delivery screen.
    2 Enter the number of the delivery that you want to pack, or select one using the matchcode function
    3 Press ENTER. You see the overview screen Change Outbound Delivery: Overview - Quantities.
    4 Choose Edit, then Pack. You see the screen Pack Items
    If you want to pack all delivery items that are not packed, choose Edit - Automatic packing.
    In this function, you do not need to select any items individually. All items and shipping units of the selected delivery that are not packed are automatically placed at the disposal of the user exits for automatic packing.
    If you only wish to have certain items in the delivery packed, choose Edit then Autom.pack items
    With this function, you must select the items and shipping elements to be packed. Then, only the selected unpacked items are placed into an internal table.
    If you have set the supplied example to active, the program automatically searches, in both procedures, for the respective shipping materials for the items to be packed.
    Thanks & Regards

  • Item category change issue

    Hi,
    We have implemented scenario A settings for return orders to exchange and edit in both ECC and CRM systems. We are having a scenario where item category for an item in return order will be changed to the other  in ECC system. In our case we have the status profile assigned to the item category which was initial and we dont have any status profile for the item category which is changed to in both ECC and CRM systems. We are gtting errors in CRM and the document is locked when the item category is changed in ECC and saved. The error is 'The status procedure  could not be set from item category XXX'. Can you please suggest how can we fix this issue?

  • Issue in updating item category

    Hi gurus,
                  I need to update the item category of the line item while saving a refund order.When a user manually enters an iitem and saves teh refund order,the item category should be updated say set to ZTR1.
             I have used set property as follows
    lv_entity_save->set_property( EXPORTING iv_attr_name = 'ITM_TYPE' iv_value = lv_itemcat ).
    But when i check teh orderadm_i table the item category doesnt get updated.If i click 'save' omce again from the ic web and then check teh table , the item category gets updated.
    That means on hoitting the save button twice,my item category gets updated.
    Can someone please suggest?

    Hi,
      Once you set the property, you need to create an instance of the core and modify it.
    data:  lv_core  TYPE REF TO cl_crm_bol_core.
    lv_core = cl_crm_bol_core=>get_instance( ).
    lv_core->modify( ).
    This should solve the problem.

  • Unable to change item category in Create SA with ref to contract

    We have a  centralised subcontracting contract (item category "L") in place for a material. The requirement is to create a scheduling agreement with reference to this contract line item item category "Blank" (Standard).
    But the item category field is greyed out (display only) when we try to create scheduling agreement with refernce to contract on the "Adopt + Details" screen. And we are not able to change the item category "L" to "Blank". Is there a way we can make this item category field editable on this screen before we hit "Adopt + Details".
    I have tried most of the field selection configuration, but there is no specific field selection group for this screen.
    Please note that the system allows you to change the item category when you create a PO with reference to this contract.

    Thanks Manu for your suggestion!
    But this is the process that we need to map. Request others to respond if they have comes across such a requirement and able to address it.
    Again I want to make a note here that if it is possible on POs, there should be a way to make it work for SAs.

  • Item category determination with ref to price conditions in contract

    Hi Gurus,
    I have the following requirement from my client.
    They need the item category ZNSM populated when creating the sales order ZOR8 with reference to quantity contract ZCQ1 when the pricing condition type is ZPG6 or ZPFL.For this they are asking to change in copy control.The pricing condition is on the contract.Since the sales order is created with reference to the contract you should be able to use the pricing condition to change the item category.
    Please let me know whether this requirement can be met by making the changes to copy control.
    Regards,
    Hari Challa.

    Hi,
    If you want to populate particular item category for particular sales order, then go ot VOV4 item category determination and enter the value for
    Sales Doc. type + Item category group + Higher levl item cate. (if any) + Usage (if any)
    But if you want to populate this item category when condition type is ZPG6  / ZPFL in the contract, then i think you need to write some program with the help of ABAPer for routine in copying control
    Hope it helps you

    Hi Eric
    You nay have to set the item category determination properly.
    Fileds are you chould have an entry which should be something like this
    Trans type -
    Item cat group---The item cat that has to appear in your doc.
    for example:
    TA -
    Standard Group-----TAN
    The Item category group field is in the one you have given in your material master.
    Hope this helps you.
