Replicating materials. Item category group is empty.

I am loading material from R/3 to product in the CRM.
I am use BDOC MATERIAL.
I see that field 'Item category group' in the product in CRM is empty, but material in the R/3 system is filled.
Anybody ideas?

Hi Denis,
Make sure the required item category groups are manually entered in the CRM table CRMV_ITEM_CAT_GR. If a specific item category group is missing in this table, then during the material download this field remain empty.
Maintain the required entry and then download the MATERIAL again
Do not forget to reward if helps

Item category group for Raw Materials

Hello Gurus,
Goodmorning,
I have a client requirement,
Here my client is selling the Raw materials , i have some confusion in taking the category group , what is the item category group we have to use for determing for the sales categories ? I don't find any special item category group for raw material . in material master as well as in item category determination in in sales document types too .
looking for your inputs in this regard.
Thanks &Regards
Ravi.M

Hello Ravi,
Sales of Raw material already being discussed some times back.
As I know, as per Central Excise law, you are not suppose to sell the raw material from a manufacturing unit.
Hence, you rename the ROH material code with suffix A. In tcode OSM2, activate sales view tab.
Apart from this, you need to maintain the renamed code in tcode J1ID with numeric value 1 under the tab Declared.
But, normal OR-LF-F2 process.
FYI - Choose of Material tyoe will be important than choose of general item category group. As I Cat group, Materials grouping that helps the system to determine item categories during sales document processing. If a group is configured specific to distribution channel, it has priority if the corresponding activity is distribution channel-dependent. In the standard system, there are normal items, items that signify services (and therefore need no delivery processing) and items that signify packing material, for example.
Thanks & Regards

Item category group used for scrap materials

hello gurus
Can u pls tell me what is the item category group used for scrap materials in the material master?
Thanks in advance
Warm Regards
Prashant.

Prashanth,
Item Category
Item Category used is IRVE or you can create your own Item caegory by clicking "New entries"
a. Schedule line is activated
b. Incompletion Procedure = 43 repair item
c. Screen Seq Group is mentione.
Item Category Group
There is no item category group existing. You can create your own item category group "SCRAP". you basically use "Tem category Group" along with Sales Document to determine item category
You need to create a ZSCR scrap material type and assign "SCRAP" item category group to material type
Assign Item categories
Carry out the Item category determination for Item Category Group.

Missing Item Category Group data in Material SD data in CRM

Hi crm experts,
Please help us. We are trying to identify what's the rootcause of the problem we experienced in CRM regarding the Item category group. We are maintaining material master in ECC and it will be replicated in CRM via middleware. The data item category group is properly maintained in ECC but when we checked in CRM, only 3 of the sales areas have it.
Sales Area 1 - YES
Sales Area 2 - NO
Sales Area 3 - YES
Sales Area 4 - YES
So we will do a request load for the data to show also on Sales Area 2.
Item category group were maintained in the ff tables:
ECC table TPTM
CRM table CRMV_ITEM_CAT_GR
Can you please let us know how we can pin point this problem so that this will not happen again? We want to apply a permanent solution if there is. Hoping for your kind assistance. Thanks!
Best regards,
Mike

" Item Category Group" in the material master?

Hi,
I'm going to use inbound delivery for purchase order, so I'm going to do it as follows:
1) Create a new "item category group Y001"
2) Create a new "item category Y001 (copy from ELN then change the movement type to 101, and set it relevant to putaway)",
3) Replace the item category group in the material master with Y001
4) Determine the item category via transaction 0184 as the following ways:
     "Delivery Type" EL    +
     "Item Category Group From Material Master" Y001    +
     "Item Usage" V     +
     'Item Category Of The Higher-Level Item"
     ==> "Determine New Delivery Item Category" Y001
My question is, If I change the item category group in the material master, is there any effect to SD part?
Thanks.

*General item Category Group*      vs    *Item Category Group*

Hi,
What's the difference for the General item Category Group and Item Category Group in the material master?
Thanks.

Hi,
General item category grp is used in the sales processes like BOM, where we have higher item category and the default item
categories.
General item category grp would refer to the higher level item category and item category grp would refer to the default item category
General Item category Group is an extension item category group. Example: if one select item catagory group as NORM, but under item category group, NORM can further be classified as Service item, packagaing item or Normal
item using "general item category group".
Also, General item category group is maintained at client level, this field can be maintain from Basic Data View of Material Master. Thus in case item category group is missing, then general item category group is used for item category determination.
Item category group determines how a material is processed in the sales order. When processing sales and distribution
documents, the system uses the item category group to determine the item category and proposes it in the respective document. Item category group is defined in the Sales Org View 2 of Material Master Record.
Example, in the standard SAP System, the item category group NORM is defined for materials kept in stock and the group DIEN for services and non-stock material

Missing Item Category Group in Sales Area data

Hi,
Can you please help us. We cannot load some materials to our product catalog because of missing item category group in our sales area in crm. Can you please let us know why this happens? I know that this can be fix by doing request load but what might be the possible rootcause of this problem? Let us know if we need to check something. Thanks!
Regards,
Mike

Any such missing configuration can not be dealt with technical manipulations. The easiest and right way is to (middleware) download or maintain all the required configuration settings.
The possible root cause? Most probably the configuration in the source system (ECC) has changed and not all of them are in place in the CRM system. Check and run the delta / full downloads as appropriate.

Item category group during service order replication is incorrect

Hi,
We are trying to replicate Service order from CRM to R/3 and the service product that is used in CRM service order is got from r/3 named SRV_REPAIR.
In CRM when we enter SRV_REPAIR in Service order the item category YSRP(copied from SRVP) should be determined.
when i use the item category group LEIS(service w/0 delivery) in R/3 for service product then the item category is determined as YSRP correctly but the replication of service order fails with the message
"It is not possible to upload from mixed documents with scen. A activated "
please suggest which item category group should be used in a service product for replicating a service order from CRM to r/3.
Regards
Prathiba

Hello,
The problem might be that item category is assigned to object type BUS2000140.
This object type is not relevent to upload so you get the error.
Please check FM CRM_SALESDOCUMENT_FILTER.
FM   CRM_SALESDOCUMENT_FILTER
    check for upload relevant item object types
      if ( lv_obj_type = gc_object_type_item-sales                  or
           ( lv_obj_type = gc_object_type_item-cust_contract   and
             lv_sales_contract_active = true )                      or
           ( ( lv_obj_type = gc_object_type_item-credit_req or
               lv_obj_type = gc_object_type_item-debit_req )   and
             lv_trans = true )
         and
           <ls_orderadm_i>-product_kind <> gc_product_kind-iobject
      fill table with item guids which are relevant for the upload
        insert <ls_orderadm_i>-guid into table lt_item_guids.
      else.
        insert <ls_orderadm_i>-guid into table lt_item_guids_delete. <-!
      endif.
    endloop.
endif.
if scenario A is active no mixed documents are supported
if <ls_orderadm_h>-scenario+3(1) = gc_scenario_r3chg-int_chg.
    if not lt_item_guids_delete[] is initial.                        <-
      perform fill_bapiret2
              using 'W' 'CRM_ORDER_MISC' '036'
                    lv_msgv1 lv_msgv2 lv_msgv3 lv_msgv4
                    space 0 gc_object_name-sales 0 space.
      raise upload_not_relevant.
    endif.
endif.
Please see note 772267 to prohibit data transfer in this case. The error
message is related to scenario A you are using.
Scenario A is not working for
service items as scenatio A allows changes of doc in both systems so
CRM and ECC. As service items won't be replicated this can't work at
all.
In other words, if scenario A is used the sales order in ECC has to be
identically to the sales order in CRM. This is not the case in service
processing.
So again you have to prohibit data transfer from service orders to ECC
when using scenario A.
Hopefully the information helps!

Item category group

Hi gurus,
Can anyone pls. help me identify the appropriate item category group for the free goods in CRM only (i.e. no R/3 integ)? The current item category group of these products is set at NORM but we may need to change it to TANN because of an ABAP runtime error. I just don't know how to include it (TANN) in the list of values in the Item Cat. Group field in COMMPR01. Hope you can help me.
Thanks,
Theresa

Hi Theresa,
In item category determination u will have two entries:
Transaction Typ : ZDBT
Item Cat. Group : NORM
Item Cat. Usage :
Main item cat. :
Item Category   : ZDB
Transaction Typ : ZDBT
Item Cat. Group : NORM
Item Cat. Usage : FREE
Main item cat. : ZDB
Item Category   : TANN
What I understand is that you wish to do free goods determination.I.e. For 1 Case = 1 Free item
For that we have other pre-requisites like:
Free good determination settings:
1. SPRO->Customer Relationship Management->Basic Functions->Set Up Free Goods->Assign Procedure
2. SAP menu->Master DataPrices and Conditions->/SAPCND/GCM - Maintain Conditions
Condition type: 0NA0
Procedure: 0NA001

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)
Reward if helpful

How to use item category group for pricing?

Hi,
how can I use the item category group to carry out pricing?
I want to determine a condition type for item category group DIEN only and no other.
Thanks for help!
Florian

Hi Florian Preuss,
You should follow the next steps:
1. Check if the item category group field exist in the pricing catalog to choose it as a field in a table condition, if it doesn't exist (I don't believe that), you should contact to a technical person (ABAP) to add it to the structure KOMPAZ.
2. Create a condition table with this field (item category group) and others that you need to determine the condition.
3. Create an access sequence with this condition table.
4. Create a condition type and assign it the access sequence.
5. Add the condition to pricing procedure.
6.. Enjoy it.
Thanks in advance,
Mariano.

ITEM CATEGORY GROUP VS GENERAL ITEM CATEGORY GROUP

Hi Gurus,
In material master,there are two fields, General Item categary group and Item categary group,
what is the significant usage of these two fields,
In F1 I'm getting same description,
With Regards,
J.SRUTHI

Hi,
Item Category Group is one of the component which along with the Sales Doc Type, The Item Usage and Higher Level Item Category decide about the Item Category in a sales doc.
As per definition General Item Category Group & Item Category Group both are to detrmine Item Category in Sales Document.
the Item Category Group is used to determine Item Category.
General item category is a broader term and used other than SD processes

Item Category Group in BOM

Dear Gurus
I want to create the BOM for Computer = Screen + Herdisk + Key board
1) Main Item Level processing
I have maintained item category group ERLA in MMR (Sales 2 screen) of the finished product
(Computer 1 ).
What item category group should be maintained for sub items?
2) Subitem Level Processing
I have maintained item category group LUMF in MMR (Sales 2 screen) of the finished product
(Computer 2).
What item category group should be maintained for sub items?
3) Also explain about how to mainatin the master records (CS01).
Regards,
Ashish
Edited by: Ashish Desai on Apr 8, 2009 1:10 AM

Ashish,
Suppose the material is completed then the value is shown against final product. In that case we use Item vategory Group ERLA. The maina item category will be shown as TAQ. The Subitem will take item category TAE (text item)
If the material is still not complete then the value is ascertaind through sub items in that case LUMF item category is used and item category for the main item is TAP and for sub items it is TAN.
In any case we will change the item category group as (ERLA or LUMF) in the material master of the final material "Computer". Where as the subitems item category will be "Norm".
Note: If you use standarad Order = OR, and standard item category group ERLA in the Finished MAterial Conmputer, then system will automatically assign item categories for Main item = TAQ and SUb Items = TAE.
Standard process and ORder = OR
Then Execute MM02 for finished material or Main materialo alone i.e., "Computer", Assign Item Category Group = ERLA and save. Then create BOM CS01, CS11 Single level the output will be
COMPUTER = TAQ
SCREEn = TAE
HERdisk = TAE
Key board= TAE.
Similarly if you proceed process by changing Item category group = LUMF for main material i.e., Finished goods "Computer" then
COMPUTER = TAP
SCREEn = TAN
HERdisk = TAN
Key board= TAN
If you are changing the document type prefixed with Z , then you need to proceed with "Assign tem Catgeory"
