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.

Sale order with item category TAN not getting displayed in md04

Hi,
We have a sale order with item category TAN, Schedule line category CP, MRP type ND and availability check as 07. This is not getting reflected in md04. But item category TAB gets displayed under the PR number.
Please let me know what checks to be made or changes to be done for the sale order with item category TAN to get displayed in md04 screen
Thanks & Regards

Credit Check while creation of Sales Order for Item Category Purchase Req

Hi Experts,
We are creating Sales Order using an Order Type ABCD for a material 1000. While creating Sales Order, we use Item categories (ZOVD, ZOVB,ZOST,ZOVP and ZOBO).
Credit Check settings are there at Order Type ABCD as well as all the Item Categories (ZOVD, ZOVB,ZOST,ZOVP and ZOBO). We are trying to test a scenario where a customer does not have enough credit limit while creating a sales order.
When we create a sales order for Item Categories (ZOVD, ZOVB,ZOST,ZOVP), credit check fails because our customer does not have enough credit limit, so that Sales Order gets created and Delivery does not get created (This is what we want), then we go into VKM1 manually and relase the sales order and then if we go to VA02 and check the status of the Sales Order, it says sales order status is complete. My Sales Team is saying here also Purchase Requisition is getting created.
When we create a sales order for Item category ZOBO, it is going into Purchase Requisition screen. Once we give another plant in the create purchase requisition screen and save it we are getting a message that cannot create Purchase Requisiton because of Credit Block.
The settings were same for all the Item categories.
1) What made difference to complete Purchase Requisition for Item Categories (ZOVD, ZOVB,ZOST,ZOVP) and not for Item Category ZOBO when my customer is not having enough credit Limit.
2) Why Purchase Requisition screen is not coming for us when we create an Sales Order for Item Categories (ZOVD, ZOVB,ZOST,ZOVP). We only get Create Purchase Requisiton Screen for Item Category ZOBO.
Thanks

Hi,
None of the Item Categories has Create PO Automatically.

Sales Order Line item category not getting Re detemining Correctly

Dear all,
            I need help regarding the Sales order item category redetermination.
            we are having two item categories YNAE and YNAG and it contains schedule line categories CP and CB ( i.e for item         category YNAE schedule line category is CP and for item category YNAG schedule line category is CB),
for YNAG Purchase Requisition is automatically created becz of functional setting on save and it is working fine.
For every line item in sales order line item level item category YNAE will be determined by default as per functional settings.
         Now my requirement is that, if sales order line item doesn't contain 100% confirmed quantity, than i needs to change the default line item category YNAE to YNAG which i am trying to do it in USEREXIT_PRICING_PREPARE_TKOMP becz in this exit i am getting the values in XVBAP and XVBEP and it is working fine .
         But schedule line category is not getting redetermined automatically what i mean is, if i change the item category to YNAG from YNAE in user exit corresponding schedule line category CB of YNAG is getting determined automatically at the schedule line level and if ichange the schedule line categories in XVBEP in exit USEREXIT_PRICING_PREPARE_TKOMP, changes are reflecting at the schedule line level but Purchase requisation is not getting created for schedule line on SAVE and its delivary dates are also not getting determined properly. If i press the option ATP check at the schedule line level than very things will getting corrected.
   I feel that i am not doing this in proper way, do u have any idea about how to redetermine item category. please let me know if u have any idea .
Regards,
Vaddepally Manoj

USEREXIT_PRICING_PREPARE_TKOMP is the wrong location - that exit is for pricing communication preparation only. Your primary location for item category determination is USEREXIT_SOURCE_DETERMINATION (MV45AFZB). In your simple scenario, you could consider making an availability check at this point with some assumptions and then assign the item category accordingly. Otherwise, you can re-assign item category and schedule line category in USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_VBEP. The exit is called once before ATP (for ATP-relevant schedule line categories) and once afterwards. The call is recursive if you re-assign another ATP-relevant category.

Suppresing Delivery note prints for certain sales order types/item category

Hi
I need to find a way of suppressing some delivery notes from being printed.
Relating to orders for consignment fill up and consignment issue.
The delivery notes are needed to be printed for 'Consignment fill up order' type, BUT not for Consignment issue - as this is confusing some of the warehouse staff at month end.
All have the same delivery type, the only difference i can see is the item category types are different
Is there a way i can use the sales order type, with customer number as an access sequence for the Output type ?
- Or the Item category type ?
Is it possible to add sales order type or Item category into the FIELD CATALOG :- output for deliveries
Your help would be much appreciated
Cheers
Tony

Hi,
I can suggest you something, but do remember that I've never done such kind of thing till date.
>> Copy LF and create new delivery type
>> Assign this to your consignment doc. types
>> Kindly remove the Header output determination procedure assigned to this new delivery type
>> Then assign output det. procedure at Item level {according to Item category}
>> Then check if will cater to your requirment or not.
Please keep one thing in mind that I am giving you a proposal by thinking in one logical way and I can't confirm the practicality of the proposal.

Sales Order - Using Item Category "TAB Individual PO" / convert PReq to PO

All,
I am configuring for the first time utilizing Sales Document Item category "TAB" - Individual Purchase Order. I have a few questions:
Is there a best practice/baseline package configuration guide specific for this process? I have found the 'third party' baseline package J54, but nothing so far on "individual purchase order from sales order'.
During Purchase Order Create from the Purchase Req. is there a way to default Purchase Order Type "UB" stock transfer from the Purchase Requisition type NB? Currently in my system, the PO type defaulting is NB and it needs to be UB. I thought this could be done based on the schedule line "CB" configuration (spro/SD/Sales/Sales Docs/Schedule Lines/Define Schedule Lines), changing the 'item category' to 7 stock transfer. Then, for the configuration setting spro/MM/Purchasig/Purchase Req/ Define Document Types, this would carry into the mapping for purchase requisition type NB/item category stock transfer to purchase order type UB/item category stock transfer. However, when I set '7' on the schedule line CB, I then receive a hard error when creating my purchase req to set the supplying plant. I have more than one supplying plant, so I'm not sure if setting the '7' for schedule line CB is the right setting for this process. From what I've been able to find for documentation, the item category of the schedule line should be set to '0' standard. My plan is to convert the PReq's into PO's in background, but I need to default the correct PO Type. Any help would be useful.

Sandra Miner

When I perform the post Goods Issue 601 of Special Stock "E" - to the customer (once the stock has been received into the right plant), the system is not creating an Accounting/FI Document to relieve the inventory and charge cost of goods sold. I have reviewed automatic account assignment entries and these appear correct for 601 E. Are there special settings for special stock "E" that I need to consider.
If you cannot answer all of these questions, but can answer one of them, I am most interested in teh last question above.

Hi Reazuddin,
What I don't understand is why:
if I don't create PO --> I can create Outobund Delivery in Individual Purchase Order but if I create PO (not MIGO) I cannot create OBD in IPO. (Note: in both cases I agree PGI is not possible)
The flowchart is: Sale Order (IPO) --> Purchase Requisition --> Purchase Order (PO) --> MIGO (inbound delivery) --> MIRO (Vendor invoice verification) --> Outbound delivery ( delivery [OBD] + picking + posting[PGI]) --> Sales Invoice
As per your comments:
System will not stop you to create delivery, though you customize delivery item cat: as Check min qtty "0" - error message. because system checks for PGI qtty, but not the delivery qtty.
But then in the case I create Sale order (IPO) + PO (without MIGO) --> the system should not stop me executing Outbound Delivery. It should stop me only if I execute Posting goods issue. But actually in this case, the system is stopping me at outbound delivery.
I agree with Posting Goods Issue behaviour. It is logical in the following cases:
Only Sale order (IPO) created --> PGI is not possible
Sale Order (IPO) created + PO created --> PGI is not possible
Sale Order (IPO) created + PO created + MIGO executed (inbound) --> PGI is possible.
Thank you very much for your feedback.

Alberto Ramos.

Subcontracting Order with Item Category L from Sales Order

Hi ,
I am looking for the way to create an Purchase requisition automatically from a sale order with Item Category "L" Subcontracting.
I tried but it is creating a PR with Item category "S" Third Party.
Can any body tell me where I am missing.
Thanks ,
Lekhram

Hi,
From the sales order look at your schedule lines to find which Schedule Line category is being called for your master data and document type of Sales Order.
Go to config for schedule line category and change the item category assigned in its details. This item category is not to be confused with your SD item category. This one is of purchase requisition that gets generated from SO# in the case of Third party.
IMG> Sales and Distribution>Sales>Schedule Lines>Define Schedule Line Categories
It would be 5 - Third Party. Change it to 3 - Subcontracting.
Reward if helpful.

Item Category Determination- Usage

Hi All,
I am looking into my system configuration for item category determination.
I know that Item category is determined based on
1. Sales document type
2. Item category group
3. Usage and
4. Higher level item cat group
Here, I came to know that Usage is determined from Customer material info record. But in my system, I see a Line item with out usage maintained in CMIR but detemined the item category relevant for usage.
Any of you guys have a thought on this?
Thank you
Kris

Item Usage is not a mandatory field in CMIR (T.Code: VD51). Hence the same can be left blank and item category will be determined accordingly.
From configuration point of view, I was refering to as under:
Sales Order Type | Item Category Group | Usage | H.L. Item cate | Default Item Category
OR | NORM | blank | blank | TAN
OR | NORM | blank | TAP | TAN
OR | NORM | APO0 | TAPA | TAN

Item Category determination in Sales Order

Hi
How to know, how item category determined in Sales Order. Is there any analysis available in Sales Order level, similar to output or text determination.
Problem here is in a particular sales order, item category is different compared to configuration. Nothing is recorded in change log. How to know, whether system determined this item category or user changed manually.
Regards
Uma

Hi
Problem here is in a particular sales order, item category is
different compared to configuration
I cant take this arguement
Sales order item cate will picked via the config maintained in VOV4
item category is different compared to configuration
Configuration someone might have changed after that sales order created
Nothing is recorded in change log. How to know,
whether system
determined this item category or user changed manually.
During order creation if you are inputting the allowed manual item category manually in salesorder then that is not a change
Hence it doesnot get recorded (VA01 T code)
During order creation a default item cate gets determined if you chnge that to manual, then that is also not a change
Hence it also doesnot get recorded (VA01 T code)
But in VA02 if you change the item category manually then it is recorded in change log
No item category determination analysis is available in standard and not reqd too
In your case only this could have happened
Configuration someone might have changed after that sales order created

Item Category Determination during Sales Order Creation

Dear All,
This is Chee Wee, i'm new to SD, i would like to seek for an advice for the topic related to Item Category in Sales Order.
We have a material "Mat005" define as "Stocked" Item category in MM03,
*Stocked means our MM team will always keep stock for the material.
The document Item category assigned to this "Stocked" are "NoPo" --> No Auto Po creation and "AuPO" --> AutoPo creation.
During the SO creation for Mat005 with Qty50 and warehouse stock availale for 60, i'm wondering when i select the itemCat "AuPO", the system automatic changed to "NoPO", but when i change the order qty to 70, then i'm able to changed the itemcat to "AuPo"!!
Can any Guru advice me what is the actual setting or configuration behind to determine which are the correct Item Category that i can choose?
Thank you very much,
Regards,
Chee Wee

Dear Chee Wee,
Basically tem category will determine based on these key combination
Item category group(Material master)+Sales document type(We enter doc type in the creation initial screen)--->Item category
For Example NORM+OR--->TAN.
As per your explanation
I hope In your case stock availability also one of the factor in the item category determination.This might have done some enhancement.
There are two item categories in your process one is "NoPo" --> No Auto Po creation and second one is "AuPO" --> AutoPo creation.
the system automatic changed to "NoPO", but when i change the order qty to 70, then i'm able to changed the itemcat to "AuPo"!!
60 Qty Stock available, you have created sales order for 50 Qt here requirement is less than stock availability so system will not allow you to enter AuPo item category Because there no need of auto PO creation for stock.
When you created sales order for 70 Qty, stock available only 60 so there is shortage of 10 Qty.now system needs to allow to create Auto PO to procure the shortage stock of 10 Qty, so system is allowing you to enter Yaupon item category.
There might be some work around kind take help of ABAPer to get the more details about your item category determination.
I hope this will help you,
Regards,
Murali.
