Regarding item catagory

Hi friends
What is the item catagory for main item and sub item in the material detrmination process
Plz reply soon
Thanks in Advance

Hello Venkat,
Generally Main Item and Sub Item are the terms used for BOM but not for material determination.
In Material determination we say material and the one which is getting substituted as a Substitute Material.
To my knowledge item category for material determinations is as follows:
Sales Doc type Item cat.Grp. Usage HLevlCatg DfltCat
OR NORM PSEL TAX TAPS
Item Category for Material Entered is TAX
Item Category for Substitute Material is TAPS
If you are looking for BOM Item categories let me know I shall reply you the same.

Vamsi

Hi,
First please check what Item Category is assigned against the relevant GL account.
Financial Accounting (New)-General Ledger Accounting (New)-Business Transactions-Document Splitting-Classify G/L Accounts for Document Splitting
Then check what accounting transactions are allowed for the item category
Financial Accounting (New)-General Ledger Accounting (New)-Business Transactions-Document Splitting-Extended Document Splitting-Define Document Splitting Rule.
You will have an idea what to change here.

Item catagory field display in sales order lin item

Hi experts,
I would like to have your view points to gray out item catagory field at sales order item level.
In our scenario, company has outsourced sales order creation to third party vendor. Also we have restricted sales order creation for these user's via role creation for certain document types.
Even after these settings, now they have access to item catagory field to modify. We want to gray out this field so that they will not be able to update it to another item catagoroy.
Thanks in adavance for your reply.

Prabhaharan

I have a suggestion, which can act as a work around through configuration. Maintain only one default Item category & do not maintain any alternative item category, which can be changed manually. this will serve the purpose of not changing the Item Category & even if user tries to change, it will not accept any other item category.

PO item catagory K

Hi,
i have created frame work order po with item catagory K,
If we enter material in po it takes G/L account automatically,
my question is how this material is related to G/L Account ? please explain .
Regards
Prashanth

Hi,
Normally if you create a PO with account assingnment , you must enter the material group. this material group is assigned with a particular G/L account. This G/L account is maintained in OBYC. So the G/L account is picked through material group.
You goto SPRO-MM-PURCHASING-MATERIAL MASTER-ENTRY AIDS FOR ITEMS WITHOUT A MATERIAL MASTER, where you can find your material group assigned with a particular G/L account.

About Item catagory usage

Hi All Gurus,
We determine item catagory i.e
s/ditem catagory grpitem catagory usagehigher level item catagoryitem catagory.
I want to knw more abt Item catagory usage. Hw its work & its effects as well as abt higher level item catagory
Thanks in advance.

nitin

Hi Nitin,
you can specify which item categories the system proposes during document processing for each sales document type and item category group. At the same time, you can specify additional item categories with which the system default can be overwritten. There is a maximum of three possible alternative item categories.
If, for example, you enter a material with the item category group NORM in a standard order, the SAP System determines the allowed item category via the assignment of item categories to sales document types and item category groups.
The system default and the allowed alternatives are always determined from the sales document type and one or two further criteria. The system default depends on the following criteria:
sales document type
item category group
item category of the higher-level item
item category usage
Note
The SAP System automatically copies the item category determined for a sales document item to the delivery.
Recommendation
Depending on the initial situation you can start the assignment differently:
When you define a new sales document type, you should specify the proposed and the allowed item categories for the materials that are represented by the item category group.
When you define a new item category, you should specify for which sales document types an item category is proposed or which item category is possible for the materials represented by the item category group.
When you define a new item category group, you are to enhance the assignment of item categories to sales document types by this new item category group.
Actions
To define item category determination, proceed, for example, as follows:
1. Choose the sales document type to which you want to assign item categories.
2. Then choose one of the item category groups.
3. Specify all the allowed item categories for the combination of sales document type and item category group.
If you are dealing with a non-material item, you must specify the corresponding item usage.
If it is a subitem, specify the item category of the higher-level item.
If it is an item category that is to be proposed in the sales document, you must indicate the combination of item category, item category group and sales document type as a default value.
4. If necessary, specify between one and a maximum of three item categories, with which the system default can be manually overwritten during document processing.

Item Catagory in Order/Delivery

Hi Experts,
when we create an order ,the Line item in that order will behave according to Item catagory. Hence If we create Delivery with reference to that Order , same Line item will be copied from Order to delivery. So If this is the Case, why do we need to define Item catagories for Delivery.Can anybody please explain with simple example.
Thanks,
Kanna Palle

Dear Kanna,
Check with, T. Code: 0VLP (zero-VLP)
There, select an Item Category and Read the description for every Field. This will give the information about the behaviour of that Item category, within the Delivery-Doc.
Some Key-Points are:
1. It ensures, whether the Item is relevant for pcking or not.
2. Relevant checks for Delivery Qty. from Order Qty. ( i.e. checks for overdelivery)
3. Automatic Batch Determination
4. Controls whether it makes sense to enter an item in the SD document with this item category without specifying a material.
Best Regards,
Amit

Gen item catagory group

what is the use of gen item catagory group in material master, suppose i m creating material for spares parts and if i maintain item catagory then what would be happened and if i don't maintain then what would be happend?
or for which scenario we should maintain this?

Item category group is used in Sales Document processing. Basically these determine the processing that is to be done from the Sales Order.
For eg - If it is NORM (Normal), then it has to be delivered
If it is BANS (Third Party), then system will generate a PR for procurement of the material
If it is DIEN (Services), then SD Delivery is not required...
Hope this helps.

Production Version at item catagory "L" PO

Hi,
Can i select the production version at Purhcase order lelve for item catagory L- Subcontracting Purchase order.
We can do it at Info record level , but is it possible to do at PO level? if yes then How?
Thanks,
Samir Bhatt

Hi Samir,
Follow these steps to get your required Production version when you create PO
We assume two different vendor with different BOM for Material "X"
1.Create BOM with alternative 01 and 02 for material "X",
2.Add those BOM in production version in material master MRP4 view for material "X".
3.Create Info records with Production version (Step 2 material master) in Purchasing Organisation View for each vendor.
4.Create Source list for material "X"
5.Now go to ME21n enter the required vendor and material "X", it will automatically default your required production version.
Hope these steps will help you,
Cheers!!!

Regarding item header printing in the script

HI,
i am working on Goods issue script. In my script there 2 pages. For printing the header for items i have taken a new window from the second page onwards.The item header is printing in all the pages from the second pages onwards. But if there is no item data in the lsat page then also its printing the header. How to supress the header if there is no data.
kishore

Hi!
This can be solved in your printer program.
LOOP AT gt_main INTO wa_main.
CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_FORM'
    EXPORTING
      window = 'MAIN'
      element = 'ITEM_HEADER'
      type = 'TOP'   "print the header of the items here
CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_FORM'
    EXPORTING
      window = 'MAIN'
      element = 'ITEM_DATA'
      type = 'BODY'   "print the item data
ENDLOOP.
