Return Item Categories

HI All,
I am creating a return sales order for a non configurable material. The item category is REN (standard item category) which is being
determined.
When i am checking the sales order for any incompleteness system gives and information message as below and shows configuration is incomplete.
Information Message:
Configuration not possible for material xxxx : Reason 3 --> Help
Message no. V1360
where as material is not configurable.
FYI: Bill of MAterail/ Configuration area is blank i.e no field in this area of item category REN is filled.
Can some body check this and let me what is the issue.
Regards,

Check whether Configuration Profile is maintained for your material in TCode CU41? In addition to that, please check whether you can see any values in Item Data - Extras - Configuration? If yes, maintain the relevant value and continue.
You can also take help of an ABAPer to analysis this error, in include FV45SFCO_CONFIGURATION_PROCES1. Here message is resulted through call of Func Mod CUCB_GET_OWNER_OF_CFG' & CUCB_CHECK_AND_DELETE_CONF. Also, check whether any enhancement is done in program SAPFV45S.
Thanks, JP

How to default inv mtl accnt based on the item categories for all trxns

Hi all,
There is a requirement for defaulting inventory material account based on the item categories accounts defined in the category accounts window. instead of defaulting from the inventory organization parameters.
I researched on that and found that we need to do product line accounting setups and modify the accounting client extension code ( Cost Management PDF)
Am i correct in the approach? will i succeed if we go ahead and do these?
Need your kind comments....
Regards,
Prasad

Hi,
I can think of one of the probable solution for your requirement.
Your need to create new condition table with item Category as one of the key combination. I think you need to update the item category in field catalog as well as in Doc Structures. Then maintain free goods condition record all the item categories except for the Return item category. This way you can exclude free goods activation for return items.
Note : If the number of active item categories are more then it may be difficult to maintain condition records for the item categories.
Hope this will help

Item Categories

Hi All
SAP Item category there is a field called Billing Relevance--ABCDEF......V
please explain me the functionality of each alphabet,
thanks
regards

Relevant for Billing:
Indicates what the basis for billing should be.
A: Delivery-related billing document
Billing is based on the outbound delivery. Billing status is only updated in the outbound delivery.
B: Relevant for order-related billing - status according to order quantity
Billing is based on the sales document. The requested delivery quantity determines the billing status.
Item categories REN (Returns) and BVN (Cash sales items) are set up with billing relevance "B" in the standard system.
C: Relevant for order-related billing - status according to target quantity
Billing is based on the sales document. The target quantity determines the billing status.
Item categories G2N (Credit memo) and L2N (Debit memo) are set up with billing relevance "C" in the standard system.
D: Relevant for pro forma
The billing relevance indicator must contain a value (not be blank) in order to be able to create pro forma invoices. Indicator "D" can also be used as follows for cross-company-code business processing:
In the case of a free-of-charge outbound delivery, the company code that is responsible for the delivery should be granted an internal settlement.
You can use indicator "D" to record free-of-charge outbound deliveries and grant internal settlements to the relevant company code.
F: Order-related billing doc. - status according to invoice quantity
Relevant for order-related billing documents based on the invoice receipt quantity (third-party business transaction). The system transfers the order into the billing due list only after the vendor invoice has been received and processed in the purchasing department. After the receipt of each invoice, a customer invoice is created for the quantity that appears on the vendor invoice. The order has status "Billed" until the next vendor invoice is received.
Item category TAS (Third party item) is set up with billing relevance "F" in the standard system.
This process can also be related to the quantity of goods receipt.
You can make the control setting as to whether the invoice receipt quantity or the goods receipt quantity should be relevant for billing in the copy control for billing on the item level in the billing quantity field. (In Customizing, choose Sales and Distribution -> Billing -> Billing documents -> Maintain Copying Control for Billing Documents -> Copying Control: Delivery to Billing Document -> Item, then select an item category.)
G: Order-related billing of the delivery quantity
The order is relevant for billing. More specifically, the cumulated delivery quantity that was already delivered is relevant for billing. You can use this category to bill for multiple partial deliveries at once.
H: Delivery-related billing - no zero quantities
You can use this category to avoid items with a value of zero being included in the billing document.
I: Order-relevant billing - billing plan
Billing occurs by way of the billing plan and its status. The status of the order item is seen as the sum of the billing plan status and the billing status.
Item categories WVN (Maint. Contract Item), MVN (Lease item) and TAO (Milestone billing) are set up with billing relevance "I" in the standard system.
J: Relevant for deliveries across EU countries
The outbound delivery is only relevant for billing if:
1. The Plants abroad active field is selected (found in Customizing under Financial Accounting -> Financial Accounting Global Settings -> Tax on Sales/Purchases -> Basic Settings -> Plants Abroad -> Activate Plants Abroad)
2. Country of departure (country where the plant is located) and destination country (country where the ship-to party is located) are different EU countries.
Item categories KBN (Consignment fill-up), KAN (Consignment Pick-up) and NLN (Standard Stock Transfer Item) are set up with billing relevance "J" in the standard system.
K: Delivery-related invoices for partial quantity
You can use this indicator if you want to select both items and partial quantities for billing.
Q: Relevant for delivery-related CRM billing
You can use this indicator if you use CRM billing to invoice the items delivered and goods-issue-posted in the R/3 OLTP system.

How to configure item categories in delivery

Dear All;
I am trying to punch item categories TAN and TAL in Standard sales order together, it has been successfully done but Li am not able to deliver them together, can any body send me a link or some documents on how to configure these two item categories together in sales document items and in deliveries . Item category TAL is returnable packaging material and is not chargeable. I don't have access to OSS notes, so SAP building blocks will be helpfull. the same problem i am facing with free of charge item category TAS
I have the following settings
or LEIH TAN = TAL +TAN
where TAN is higher category
orLEIHTAL=TAL+TAN
OrLEIH=TAlTAN
what should be the assignemnet in delivery type LF as the main problem is with delivery.
The assignments are
LF+ LEIH=TAL
LFLEIHTAL=TAL
LFLEIHTAN=TAL
where Highet item category is TAL

Hi Pr Singh,
Check the settings in T.Code 0184.
Check if it works if we assign
LF + LEIH + PACK+ + = TAL.
Reply if it works.

How to swap between to sets of item categories in sales order

Hi,
We receive Idocs from a different system that creates sales order in the R/3 system. For some of these, we want to be able to use an alternative sourcing mode - basically switch between standard POs and 3rd Party POs. The orders has many items, and we find it impractical to manually update all items - also because the order might contain different materials with maybe 5-10 different item categories, that needs to be changed to 5-10 others. This will be very difficult for our business users, since we do not have a simple naming convention of item categories to ease this.
So we are looking for alternative ways, where we can change all items by changing on header level.
We have thought of these alternatives :
1. Change distribution channel. Requires all materials and customers to be set up in 2 DCs - not realistically.
2. Change sales order types using VOV8 alternatives. This seems not to be allowed for materials in BOMs and with E consumption. See other thread named "Can not change SO order type - disallowed by item settings" for more details.
3. What we we really need is changes on schedule line level, and I suppose we could have a logic in MV45AFZZ change this dependent on some user field. But I don't think this will work, as other settings controlled by requirement class etc. will be inconsistent.
Proposals for this are welcome - it should be a common issue.

Hi,
We ended up designing a solution where item category was swapped by shipping condition. For shipping condition 11, we simulated that a specific 'usage' was active. It required a few tricks to get the Source determination to run, and a further trick to avoid a re-pricing B to nuke the pricing conditions. This is still draft code, but it seems to work :

Return Item and Free goods check box in purchase order

Hi Guru:
I just got the question regarding the return item and free goods check box,my question is that if I check the free good check box,then the price of the matieral will be charged to zero,however,if I want to issue the return purchase order to the vendor,does I need to check the return box first and then issue the return order to the vendor? Then go to MIGO transaction to select the movement type 122 to return the goods,what's the whole precedure for returning the goods to the vendor,can anybody tell me,very appriated!

Hi,
Retun to vendor through have two types....
One is you have Po created, vendor send the item in that few items have rejected so you need to return the item to vendor......
here in MIGo chose returrn to vendor selce the PO numbere.... system automaticaly take the movent type 122....
sencond type is Retun PO..... In Po while creting the PO tick the return indication..
If you do the GR system will pick 161mopvent type.. ( GR returns)...

Change item categories purchasing

Hello,
I found thread 1582236 via google. It nicely explains how to get the "invoice receipt" flag out of the purchase order by default (text below). I tried to change the customizing like described via IMG path:
Materials Management>Purchasing>Define External Representation of item catagories>0/Standard
But for me this customizing for "Define External Representation of Item Categories" is all in grey. I am not able to add new items categories or to change the existing ones.
So can it be, that it is not possible to change item cats attributes ("Define External Representation of Item Categories") for purchase orders, or can someone confirm that it is changeable?
Thanks
Hi Ashish,
Basically when you talk about procurement, it is always chargeable (that means purchasing of materials or services mostly purchased at a certain price. That means when it is chargeable, defnetly there must be invoice (accounts payable to vendor) for that perticular item (that can be for material or a service) in the purchase order.
In above, case the Invoice Receipt Indicator is set (indicator set automatically) in the Invoice Tab of the Item details in the PO. And that specifies whether an invoice receipt is linked to the purchase order item.
Note: If the Invoice indicator is not set, the means goods are to be delivered free of charge.
And the above is based on the default configuration that is available in the system, but it can be customized as per your specifications, is as follows:
Steps for that configuration setup:
--> Display IMG (SPRO)
--> Materials Management
--> Purchasing
--> Define External Representation of item catagories (click it)
--> Here you can set the IR indicator depending on the type of procurement for the Item catageory (lie, std, thridparty,etc)
--> click it, by choosing the required combination of item cat(internal) : item cat(external)
and, in the control: invoice receipt
set the Invoice Receipt (this is only an indicator and it specifies that the PO item is chargeable and is to be invoiced. But it can be changeable (remove or set the flag) by user (when the item is delivered free of cost), it is just a link for PO item.
And there is one more indicator IR indicator firm.
there are TWO options:
--> firm in PO (if you set this indicator, user can not change while creating or changing the PO)
--> changeable in PO (if this indicator is set, it can be changeable if requires at the time of creation or change of PO through ME21N /ME22N)
And also
--> Display IMG (SPRO)
--> Materials Management
--> Purchasing
--> Maintain account assignment categories (click it)
And here, also you can set the same by choosing your required /specific account assignment categories combination.
Note: If you set the Invoice Receipt indicator in the CONFIGURATION (that is in Display IMG) and this will effect to the entire process for all users. So, please goahead by keeping all these things in your mind and in concern with the team.
Hope it clarifies you,
Regards,
Srin

yes I can confirm what JouLes wrote. But you can only change what I told you before.
if you can do customizing on anything else, then you should be able to do it here too, there is no authorization object for a specific IMG area or knot. either you have authorization for customizing or not.
Are you in a developement client? In production client it is not possible to do this customizing.

Item categories for Free of charge items

Hi Gururs,
In the standard SAP the Item categories AFNN,AGNN and TANN are defined. Can the free goods be determined in Inquiry and Quotation(in any sales document with document category other than C-i.e.Order). If not possible, then what is the purpose of defining AFNN and AGNN.
Thanks in advance
Ravi

Hi Sankar,
I can confirm that a free goods determination cannot be enabled for any sales document category other than C. In some of the OSS notes, it is clearly stated that free goods is meant only for sales document category C.
However the purpose of AGNN, and AFNN are not known. When i checked the configuration, these 2 ICs have configuration which are different from TANN in some of the aspects, especially the pricing field, that itself says that AGNN and AFNN are not meant for Free goods.
However, I will confirm on the purpose of these ICs in sometime, as I am exploring that.
YOU CAN READ THE OSS NOTE 549505 ON FREE GOODS, WHICH CONFIRMS THIS. IF YOU WANT THE NOTES, LEMME KNOW UR EMAIL ID.
Reward if this helps.

Swap between two different item categories in sales orders for sub-contracting

Dear gurus,
my requirement is to have the ability to swap between two different item categories for sales orders for sub-contracting.
This should be controlled by a combination of the material and a value maintained the Usage field in the Customer Material Info Record (for example by entering a ‘V’). A combination of Sales Doc Type, Item Cat Group and Usage should result in the creation of a purchase requisition.
In the event that a process order is required instead of a purchase requisition (i.e. the product is to be manufactured in-house instead of sub-contracted) the user must have the ability to change the Item Category within the sales order to produce a process order.
The user would just change the item category within the sales order, and the system would automatically remove the purchase requisition assigned to the SO, and create a process order and assign it to the SO.
Can you suggest any possible solution?
Thank you in advance.

Hi Majlo,
In my system, I checked. First created sales order with third party line item and then changed item category to normal item category.
Till Purchase order not created, I can change Item category of my sales order line item.
In this case SAP inform by log and once save delete purchase requisition of that line item .
For this you need to assign another item category as an manual item category in SPRO Item category assignment.
After this user can manually change item category to other one manually, if PO do not exist.
Please let me know if your query is different.
Regards

Changing the item categories of Sales order in web IC

Hi experts,
We are working on CRM 5.0 with Web IC
We have a scenario where we need to change the item categories of some of the items in sales order.
But in a standard sales order I cant see the item categories of line items in WebIC.
Now the issue are
1. How to make the item categories available in web ic?
2. Is there any standard config to do this or we have to go for development ?
3.Is it possible to change the itemcategories in Web IC?
Can any body suggest me with suitable solution
Points shall be rewarded for sure
Regards,
Madhu

Hi,
you dont change the item category at the header level. The item category will be changed at the item level and the code to do this is
lv_entity_items->set_property( EXPORTING iv_attr_name = 'ITM_TYPE' iv_value = lv_itemcat ).
here lv_entity_items is one of the entity in the collection for AdminI . lv_itemcat is the value you want your item category to be set to.
hope this helps.
Reward useful answers.

Hello,
There's a shipping tab that appears in a purchase return item, and in it there's a flag called Order Combination.
Only i can't seem to find a way to change that flag using this BAPI, nor using bapi_po_change.
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance.

Hi
Its a setting that you maintain in the customer master reord that defaults it.
So if you want this to be flagged for some vendors and for some no flag the you need to maintain accordingly in the Customer master data - Sales are data Shipping tab
If you want it to be maintained through BAPI then populate the same in POSHIPPINGEXP structure
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
In SRM POs, GR based invoice indicator for Goods item is ticked based on the Vendor Master. If the vendor master has the tick, then PO will have the tick for GR based invoice. However for a service PO/limit PO, GR based invoice comes as default in PO and cannot be undone.
