Hi Guna
Item category depends on the Material type. It is a default material master screen group data. Generally it is defined in Sales view screen group data in material master.
This item category refelcts the sales document type and pricing procedure etc.,
For FERT the item category NORM. For Configurable material it is TAC

Hi SujanB,
As your question is already answered. An indicator that defines the characteristics of a document item.
For example, the item category controls the type and scope of:
Pricing
Billing
Delivery
Inventory posting
Transfer of requirements
Providing further deatils ;--
01. How item category is determined :--
Depending on the item category group that you apply & the sales doc type you are processing the system automatically proposes an item category in the document.
1.sales document type (source: order type)
2.item category group (source: material master)
3.item category of the higher-level item (source: user defined)
4.item category usage (The usage is defined by SAP and is hard coded in the programs)
SPRO- IMG- SD- Sales- Sales Document- Sales Document Item- Assign Item Category (VOV4)
Pls refer following link for furter details ;--

Change Sales Order Item Category for a configurable material with config

Hi
My problem is related to Variant configuration. We have a requirement that depending on the ordered quantity and required replenishment lead time the business scenario for a configurable will get changed. that means some characteristics value selection will trigger the business scenario to be followed, whether it will be Make to Order, Buy to Order or 3rd Party drop-ship order. and the business process to be followed will be triggerd by the Item category to be selected in the sales order line item.
so , the requirement is to change the item category of the sales order line item with the carecteristiocs value selection in the variant configuration screen. As we know, when ever the material is getting entered in to the sales order line item, depending on the Item category group in the material master data the item category in the sales order line item used to get determined. after that when we are selecting the characteristics value set in the variant configurator, systen shoud chage the already determined item category of the sales order.
Hope I have clearly furnished my problem and requirement. Can anyone show me the way to fulfil my requirement. Any further clarification requirement to understand and resolve the issue is cordialy appriciable.
Regards'
Som

Thanks Krishna
But as u mentioned the way to make the non editable field into editable one. But that will applicable in case of manual chage. But can it be applicable for changing the Item category by using Object dependency??
Actually in our scenario, for some of the item category that field in the sales order line item remains editable. we have tested with that also. Once the item category is getting determined, object dependenct is not able to modify the item category in the sales order line item.
I have explores something, if I include PSTYV field in VCSD_UPDATE, will it work? VCSD_UPDATE is the table that contains field of sales order can be modified with the usage of object dependency.
Please let me know ASAP.

Sales order item category per sales organization

Hi
Sorry for the question, I am FI/CO expert, and since our SD expert left us, I am also the SD expert now.
Can I define different item categories for the same sales order type for different sales orgs?
VOV4 (IMG-sales and distrebution-sales-sales documents-sales document item-assign item categories) has no sales organization parameter.
Thanks

> Ofer
Yes, you can define different item categories (in t.code VOV7) and assign to same sales order types. The item category is determined by based on Sales document type + Item category group (from material master) + Item category usage + High level item category (check t.code VOV4).
The item categories are not assigned to sales organization, but the sales document types are assigned to sales area. Check t.code VOV8, where the sales documents are defined and in t.code OVAZ, the sales documents are assigned to sales area (sales area = sales org + distribution channel + division).
YOu can see the steps of configuration at SPRO -> Sales and distribtution ->Sales document header (related to sales document type) and then at -> Sales document item.

Sales Order/Item as Account Assignment in Accounting Doc.

I have a scenario where we are selling some services. Process is to create sales order --> Create billing document in reference to sales order & then release it to accounting. I am using materials of type DIEN( service) for the purpose and have customized the sales order / item category. Process is working fine till creation of accounting document but the accounting document is missing sales order/item in it [as account assignment]. I am not sure what config I am missing.
Attached file shows where I am expecting the sales order / item to be seen.
Please provide hints on this.
Thanks in advance.
Sonal

Hi Sonal
If you want the billing doc to post in the sales order as cost object, then your GL has to be cost element and the account assignment category in Sales order must be E
Check the Requiremebt Type in the Procurement tab of sales order.
This RT is assigned to a Requirement Class and the RC is mapped to Acct Assgn Catg.
Spro - Cost object controlling - prod cost by sales order - control of sales order related.....
In this node you can see which RC is assigned to RT

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,

Hi,
Goto VOTXN transaction and select item text for sales document and then see item categeory is assigned to text procedure.
Make sure right text procedure should be assigned to item categeory(for ex: sales order item text procedure to be assogned to sales order item category) ,also check access sequence for text.
Please get back with your observations.

Free goods determined in Delivery over Order Quantity in Sales Order Item

Hi Gurus,
I've a problem about using free goods determination.
First I created free goods master record with following information
ZG1010012060075 From 100 PC -> Free good ZG1040012060075 2 PC
Free goods Category = '2' (Exclusive)
Free goods delivery control = 'E' (Delivery proportional to quantity in main item)
Then I've created Sales Order with
Item 10 ZG1010012060075 4,000 PC.
Item 11 ZG1040012060075(Free good) has been automatically determined for 80 PC
Then I've splitted Item 10 into 4 deliveries. The result of free goods determine in each delivery are as follow:
Delivery#1)
Item10 ZG1010012060075 = 1,176 PC
Item20 ZG1040012060075 = 24 PC
Delivery#2)
Item10 ZG1010012060075 = 1,176 PC
Item20 ZG1040012060075 = 24 PC
Delivery#3)
Item10 ZG1010012060075 = 1,176 PC
Item20 ZG1040012060075 = 24 PC
Delivery#4)
Item10 ZG1010012060075 = 472 PC
item20 ZG1040012060075 = 9 PC
*Remark : Total quantity of 'ZG1040012060075'(free goods) = 92424+24 = 81 PC
(Greater than 80 PC)*
I think the system determined free goods in Delivery#4 correctly due to rounding up. But It might not be over the order quantity in Sales Order Item 11. Even though I've set the item category in delivery with Check overdelivery = 'B' (Situation rejected with an error message), the free goods are determined over order qty. BUT if I change delivery qty in delivery#4 Item20 from 9 PC -> 8 PC -> 9 PC, the error message occurred.
My point is to fix the system not determine free goods in delivery items over order quantity in sales order item.
Has anyone met this situation before? Do you have any idea about this issue?
Best Regards,
Prachya Lalitnorasate

Dear Sai,
Thank you for your advice, but it didn't solve my problem.
I would like the system to determine free goods with proportional to main item AND In the last delivery main item delivered completely free goods must be determined equal to remaining open delivery item.
Do you have any idea about configuration/customization?

Missing CO Sales Order Item in 643 Cross Company Movement

Hi all,
we are working in a make-to-order scenario in which the company A/plant A sells a finished product produced by company B/plant B.
The sales order item is a cost object (account assignment category E – “Ind. cust. w. KD-CO” is set in the requirement class in use) and is derived into the Transfer Order (Account Assignment tab) from production company B/plant B to selling company A/plant A.
When we try to transfer the finished product from plant B to plant A by means of 643 movement the system provides error message KI 235 – Account xxx requires an assignment to a CO object where xxx is the Cost Of Goods Sold for company B. This is due to the fact that FI is not able to derive the sales order item as a posting cost object.
We have activated cross company CO objects by deactivating the Company Code Validation indicator (field TKA00-RKBUK) for controlling area settings.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
PierGiorgio

Hi Abhi,
yes it is: "E" is the entry value in the field consumption of the requirement class involved.
Thanks, PierGiorgio

EK01 and EK02 not copied to sales order item

Dear colleagues,
Is it possible to have EK01/EK02 transferred to the sales order item for assembly type = "0 no assembly order processing"
(specified in requirement class definition)? I would like to have planned production costs in EK02/EK01.
I don't specify costing method, variant and sheet in requirement class definition (transaction ovzg)
The steps are following:
1. create sales order
2. set manually proper item category (which refers to assembly type = "0 no assembly order processing")
3. MD04 - convert generated planned order (lower-level for HALB) into production order
4. MD04 - release HALB production order
5. MD04 - convert generated planned order (higher-level for FERT) into production order
6. MD04 - release FERT production order
7. ????? we could expect EK02/EK01 in sales order item coming from production orders ?????
I have found SAP note 857299 nevertheless it is not stated precisely there.
Please let me know your observations in this area.
Regards,
Wojtek

Mandatory partner function at sales order item level

Hi all,
I'm customizing partner schema at item level for sales order. I have created a custom partner function, I put it in a new sales order item partner procedure and i set this partner function as mandatory (I want that system show me a message if this function is missing at item level in sales order). This partner function is defined only at sales order item level (not at header level or customer master).
If i create and save a sales order with an item type that use the item partner procedure I have created, system don't show me any message for the item custom partner function missing, else if it is set as mandatory in sales order item partner procedure.
I have read some posts in these forums about this functionality, but it seems a different situation.
Someone had a similar type of problem?
Thank you in advance for any possible suggestion.
Regards
Gianpaolo

Hi,
First you have to create a new partner function.
Then assign that partner function to the account group.
Then assign that partner function to partner determination procedure for the item category.
Over here click on the mandatory button also.
Then assign that partner determination procedure to item category.
Then to XD02 and give your customer number and in the partner tab maintain the data for that partner function.
Now go to VA01 and create your sales order you will see you partner function.
If you wont have maintained it in the customer master then it will prompt an error.
Regards
Raj.

Net Value in sales order item

Hi All,
Any one know how the system set net value in sales order item? (VBAP-NETWR)
I mean, what kind of condition type will be considered in net value calculation.
Thank you

Hi,
In Sales Order net value (NETWR) is always value before tax, it means the condition type determined before tax condition will be considered in sales order Net Value.
In other words if conditon type have a category defined as D-Tax and Cond. class as D- Taxes, the value of this condition type will not be considered in Net value.
regards
Vivek.

Credit Check for "Not Relevant" sales order items

Hello All,
I am having a situation where my client takes advance reservations almost an year in advance.
The sales order items have schedule line category to not consume inventory and so the overall status on each line item is "not relevant". The credit status on the order is "not performed". Since the overall status is "not relevant", the sales order amount is not added to the credit master receivables.
We have around 100K orders and I am trying to see if there is a good solution to do a credit check on all these orders.
I am in a desperate situation and would really appreciate a quick response.
Thanks very much for your help.
AM

Hi Shiva Ram,
Thanks very much for your reply.
When I change the schedule line category on the items, the overall status on the line item changes to "Open". The credit status of the order will be "not performed".
If I were to create an advance order with items consuming inventory, it goes through a credit check with the existing configuration.
