Restrict delivery packing by item category

Hello
I want to prevent a certain item category from packing in a packaging material type.
I cannot find anything in configuration that will allow this. Is there a user exit in packing where this can be done?
Thanks

Thanks to all,
specially Raja and Krishna, it was an exact solution to restrict the extra items in delivery. All u Enjoy the points for support.
Will u help me on my previous thread of delivery block also?
I had to keep the delivery block for the sales order at header level. therefore I have set the delivery block in document header.
As I know and i have already tried it in IDES that if the delivery block is set for a sales order header the order will not be allowed to create delivery. System should pop up the error message as the Sales order entered in VL01N. But in my case system is allowing me to go up-to the picking tab and at the time of picking system gives me error of delivery block so without picking if i want to save that delivery it is also possible. This is making the delivery block functionality useless for me.
At the time of defining the blocking reason there are 6 criteria - Order, Conf, Print, Del Due List, Picking and Goods out of them I have checked Order, Picking and Goods. I tried with checking all criteria also.
Please tell me what I am missing that the delivery block is not working in the entry screen of VL01N as expected.
Help me to make the functionality full proof.
I've done needful in OVLS and VOV8 already.

Sanjay

New Item category Determination in delivery

Hi Experts ,
I want new item category to be determined in delivery i did all the customisation for Del Item category to be determined in IMG ,any suggestions in this .
Regards
VKS

Hi,
You have to define the new item categories for the deliveries in the IMG
path:
IMG-->LOGISTICS EXECUTION-->SHIPPING-->DELIVERIES-->DEFINE ITEM CATEGORIES
After defining the Item categories yo have to assing the item categories to the delivery documents in the IMG
Path:
IMG-->LE-->SHIPPING-->DELIVERIES-->DEFINE ITEM CATEGORY DETERMINATION IN DELIVERIES
here you have to assign the default item categories for the
DELIVERY DOCUMENT TYPE
ITEM CATEGORY GROUP
USAGE
HIGHER LEVEL ITEM CATEGORY
for the above combination assign the default item category and save
Now the item category will be atomatically determined in the transaciton of delivery creation once you create the delivery
Please check the above settings and revert

Hello,
There are two possible ways:
1. In Item Caterogy Determination remove the Manual Item Categories so that system will determine the Item Category only from defined options.
2. Use T-SHDO - create Screen Variant & make the item Category Feild as Display only.
Hope this helps..

Usage in Item category determination

Hi friends,
In delivery item category determination there will be in field called "Usage" . Delivery type will be coming from delivery document type, Item category group will be coming from material master. In the same way where from this Usage data will be coming. How come the system knows which is FREE, CHSP, Etc??
Can anyone explain me in detail please.
Ratna Kumar

Hi ramarao
Spro --> Sales and Distribution --> Sales --> Sales Documents --> Sales Document Item --> Define Item Category Usage
Item usage controls how the item category should behave during a document processing. Item usage controls the usage of the item. Item usage tells wheather it is a text item , free item , product selection item etc
We can maintain Item usage feild at CMIR also

11i Advanced Pricing Questions on usage of Item Category Segment Values

Hi All,
we are on 11i, i am trying to setup on modifiers using Item Categories. Customer has 4 segment category structure.
Category structure= Vendor, Group, Style, Price code , here is how Data looks = 060.10.800.40
In 11i, can we setup Modifiers on Segment1 & Segment 2 ( 060.10), so system picks up all values for segment3 and segment4.
I understand R12 can do this as per Metalink Note: 746020.1. is this supported in 11i.? I am unable to accomplish this.

girish

Hi
Please donot post more questions in a single thread. If you post it separately, you will get many responses and detailed explanations from more members.
Regarding your queries.,
1. Relevant for delivery field in Item Category is for TEXT Items and for others you should configure the field in Schedule lines.
3. Shipping conditions will be defaulted from the CMR of SP. If a value exists in the sales document type (eg. OR) then it will have priority and will replace the value defaulted from CMR.
5. The pricing applies to Item Level only. But you cannot determine different procedures for different line items.
6. Header conditions will not have access sequence and you cannot create condition records for header conditions in VK11.
7. In consignment process - the first two steps are mandatory i.e., Consignment fillup and consignment issue.
The other two steps are required only if there are returns from the customer(not consignee) and if there are any unsold stocks at the consignee.
Thanks,
Ravi

" 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.

hi
General item category 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
Item category group from material master
A grouping of materials that the system uses to determine item categories during the processing of sales documents.
the difference between the two lies in the specificity to the distribution channel

Item Category - Serial number status Link

Experts,
What is the link between item category and serial number status in sales document. When I create an outbound delivery for one item category, the serial number in outbound delivery becomes ESTO to ECUS. For another item category it becomes ESTO to ECUS ESTO. How is it maintained.
I want to change the transfer status from ESTO to ECUS instead of ECUS ESTO for one item category. How can I accomplish this. Please advice.
Thanks
Manassha.

Manassha
These are system statuses that are maintained and delivered by SAP. They are activated or deactivated by performing an application procedure, or directly.
typically when the Eqpt. is in stock, it will be in ESTO-' in the warehouse' system status.
Once you assign it in a delivery, it will have 2 statuses- EDEL, ESTO- ' In the warehouse' ( as it has not been Goods Issued yet) and ' Assigned in delivery note'.
Once you do a GI of the delivery, I t will be in ECUS- 'At customer site'- status. This is for normal items.
For customer Consignment Fill-up orders, once you deliver and PGI, the eqpt will be in the unusual sounding state of ECUS ESTO, because it is goods issued to a customer at the same time because it is associated with Consignment Fill-up ( and not consignment Issue), it will be in ESTO status as the eqpt is still in our stock. I am guessing even Equipment related Made-to-order (MTO) items will have similar status when received from Production Order to sales order stock.
There is no way you could influence this because this is 'system status' and gets determined by what you did- Transactions like PGI, Good receipt etc.
Hope this is clear.

Item Category and MRP type for material is not allowed

Hello all,
I got a Error Message:
Transaction Z113 is not defined (Message no. V1347)
Diagnosis
This combination of item category Z113 and MRP type for material is not allowed.
System response
The system does not allow further processing of this item.
Procedure
Check your entry.
You can display the combination defined in table TVEPZ, which controls scheduling line category determination, and change it as required if you have the authorization to do so. The MRP type for the material may be changed in the material master.
The SD Configuration seems all right, I have:
Sls Doc Type (VOV8) ZA9 (no delivery type assigned)
Item Category (VOV7) Z113
Assigs Sls Doc & Item Ctgry (VOV4) ZA9/ZNOR/blank/blanl/Z113
ZNOR = Std Item-Av. chck Del
ZNOR defined in MM03/Sls Org 2
Define Schedule Line (VOV6) = Z7 (without delivery)
Z7 has FLAG on Prod Allocation
Assign Schedule Line (VOV5) = Z113/ND/Z7
At table: TVEPZ
I have the entry: Z113/ND/Z7
Guys, what would?
Please help me out because I am stuck in this issue.
Thanks a lot,
Barbara

Barbara, this may be tied to Strategy Group on the Material Master (I can't read enough into the detail)
Item Category determination + MRP Type for your schedule line type ties to a Sched. Line category(this you know)
New Rqmts class gets tied to a Rqmts Type
New Rqmts Type gets assigned to rqmts class
Strategy, assign the Rqmts Type to it
Strategy Group, Assign the Strategy to it
MM02 [MRP3 view] strategy group should be the one that ties together (all the other ties
It may be something in this area that you need to trace through ?

Sales & Delivery item category

Hi Experts,
Sales item category and Delivery item category have same names. My question is whether the delivery item category is the same as sales order item category.
Thank you

Hi Duncan,
There is difference between sales order itemcategory and delivery itemcategory.
For example if you take TAN itemctegory in both areas(Sales document and delivery) we can identify different control in each place.
In Sales order TAN these are controls
Transaction VOV7
Bussiness data
General control
Transaction floe
Bill of material/Configuration
Value contract
Service management
Control of resource-related billing and Creation of Quotation
In Delivery TAN these are the controls
Transaction OVLP
Document category--J-delivery
Material/Statistics
Quantity
Wear house control and packing
Transaction flow.
I hope it will help you,

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.

I/B Delivery item category

Hi Experts,
I have a question on I/B Delivery item category determination. I have gone through lot of threads and didn't meet my specific question.
During creation of I/B Delivery against PO, System determines one item category by default. I want to overwrite during creation of I/B Delivery. But dont know how.
I have added my new item category ZLN as alternative item category in OVLP.
Which user exit i can use to flip this value?
Thank you

Does item category TAS allow to create Outbound delivery doc?

Hi experts,
I have a problem with the delivery creation. The scenario is:
Our vendor missed to deliver a part to us. Say for example he missed to delivery the screw (used to adjust the time) in the wrist watch. This part is supposed to be assembled together with the wrist watch & delivered to our customer.
Now we need to deliver this missed part to our customer. The initial watch has been shipped to the customer without the screw. But the cost of the screw is already included in the total cost of the watch.
Now the vendor is going to send us this screw. So my requirement is to create a subsequent free of charge kind of sales order that triggers a PR to the vendor & once this PR is converted to PO, on the PO
the Free Item will be ticked as the Vendor charged us for the whole wrist watch. This is also a kind of subsequent free of charge delivery by the vendor.
When I use item category TAS it does generates the PR & I converted this to a PO to this vendor. I also did the GR for this PO. But when I create outbound delivery for this subsequent free of charge sales order,
it says the item is not relevant for delivery.
Could you tell me how to handle this situation & what item category to use which will allow me to create
Outbound delivery so that I can proceed to post goods issue & create 0 dollar invoice?
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Pri

Check the item category configuration for TAS. It does not have the tick for 'Item relevance for delivery'.
This can be seen in the following path:
IMG > Sales and distribution > Sales > Sales documents > Sales document item > Maintain item categories.
The idea of having a 3rd party sale (with item category TAS) is that the item is directly delivered from your vendor to customer. When you perform goods receipt of the PO, it will not ask for a storage location, since the product does not enter the plant premises.
This is a one step method to dispatch goods directly. Hence the outbound delivery is not required once GR is done. The next step is to enter a vendor invoice followed by customer billing document.
If you check the accounting part of the GR material document it will be
Cost of goods sold DR
GR/IR clearing account CR
However, in your case, since the material is a FOC, there should not be an accounting document, and hence no vendor invoice verification / customer billing.
In standard, the item category TAS is relevant for billing. Hence if you do not require billing (being FOC), I suggest you use another item category (a copy of TAS) without billing relevance. I guess everything else should fall in place.

Aroop
