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,
Regards,
MUrali.

ATP Check on/off at delivery item category

Hello All
I see that delivery item category unlike sales item category, has a control for availability check (=on/off)
- What is the purpose of this control if I can control the check at check instructions for delivery
- What happens if the check instructions for delivery says no check and delivery item category says av check on
- What happens if the check instruction say product availability check is on and item category says off
- What happens if the check instruction say product availability check is on and SOME item categories says av check= off
No I am testing it out as I ask this but I am unable to see the actual purpose of this control at item category in delivery.
Your replies would be appreciated

Hi Michael,
Sorry I needed to revisit this to confirm a point that I am missing to see. Apologies for repeating my question this time with an example.
This is what is observed
Current ATP qty check rule A - 125
Current ATP qty check rule B- 90 (different check control to sales order)
A)
Sales order - 050/A check instructions - PAC check = no check, Alloc check = no check
Request qty- 100, confirmed 100 - understood
B)
Delivery - 050/B check instructions - PAC check ON, Alloc check = no check
Delivery item category Av check OFF
Confirmed 100
C)
Delivery - 050/B check instructions - PAC check ON, Alloc check = no check
Delivery item category Av check ON
Confired qty - 90
Does this mean that to create delivery for 100, I MUST set delivery item cat av check = no avl check ?. Wont check instruction 050/B= OFF do the same result as B) above. I observe so.
So what is the special role of delivery item category av check parameter. You mentioned that sales order uses the delivery item category setting for Av check. How does the sales order know the delivery item category until delivery is created.

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 ;--

JIiJ : depot sale: Delivery item wise Excise invoice number

Dear all
we are using J1ij for depot sale/stock transfer between main plant and its depot outside state.
we have unique delivery item which corresponds to unique material code. after doing PGI when we go to J1ij and choose the different line items, the excise invoice number that is saved is delivery wise and not delivery item wise. that is for each delivery we get one excise invoice.
the requirement is that this should be delivery item wise. we have tried trying to save one delivery item but it does ask for the 2nd delivery item and once we delete that 2nd delivery item and save the Ji1j, it allows to save but while going in for the 2nd delivery item, it says the delivery is already excised out.
did any of the gurus come aross this requirement. if yes how did you resolve this.
there is one batch program J_1IJCHK but we are that saves without asking for any information.
Kindly help.
regards

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

> 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.

Delivery Item Category for Batch Split

Dear All,
Referring to Stock Transfer Order
ME21N --> VL10I --> Vl02N --> PGI --> MIGO
During delivery we select multiple batches through Batch Split.
In my Development server the system determines Item Cat as NLN (NLNORMCHSP = NLN)
In my Quality server the system determines Item Cat as ULN (NLNORMCHSP = ULN)
The setting for Both Item cat is same Except NLN is marked for Error during over delivery.
Pls suggest me which one is appropriate.
Thanks & regards,
Shailendra Panhale

Mr. Gauravijit
Pl try the following configuration
Go to logistic Eex->Shipping->Deliveries->define item category for deliveries
Delivery type - item category group - usage--item cat
LF NORM CHSP TAN
Pl try the above configuration and do the batch split in the delivery.

Sale order item category

Dear all,
We create Bom for production.For sale order creation,in item category whether use TAC or TAN.What sholu be the right one.what is the difference between them.we create finished material is configurable or finished product.
Regards,
Guna.

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

Sales contract item category configuration

What is the significance of Transaction category in Item category. I have configured BUS2000135- CRM Quantity/Value contract item for a z item category. It doesn't allow to add a partner determination which is configured for BUS2000121 Sales contract.

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.

Why item category re-determined at delivery level

Hi Gurus
I want to know what is the purpose of redetermining item category at delivery level?

First thing to know is that Item Category determination is used only on newly added items and other specific usages like batches, product substitution, etc. It is meant for Deliveries that are not created with reference to a sales order. If you are copying an item from the order and the item category is configured as a Delivery Item category in 0lvp, SAP copies the order item category and does not redetermine it from configuration.
If you are using Product Substitution in the delivery, SAP first copies the higher level item from the Sales Order, then executes Material Determination to bring in the substitution (lower level) items. In this case the higher level item category would be from the order. Redetermined BOMs would follow the same logic as Product substitution.
In short you can redetermine items in delivery when you are using product substitution or add new Items in delivery or using Sales BOMs.
Hope its clear to you now.

Error while creating I/B delivery: No item category exists (Table T184L EL)

Hello all,
When I save output type "SPED" in outbound delivery, Inbound delivery automatically gets created.
But in this case error occured:
"No item category exists (Table T184L EL NLAG V )"
1. Specified material is HALB.
2. Item Cat in MMR is NORM
3. in Table T184 for "Delivery item Category Determination", configuration for EL NLAG V is NOT exists. But EL NORM V is exists
4. Testing for the SAME material in Test server is PERFECT. I/B delivery created automatically. Master data in Test system is replica of Production system.
Then where is the wrong....????
Could any one help on this?
Thanks
Tushar

Please have a look at your material. In material master there's a so called item category group (MARA-MTPOS_MARA and MVKE-MTPOS; these are on sales 2 view).
Please compare the value in this field in the materials used in test (NORM?) and production system (NLAG?).
This is one factor in item category determination as you can see in table T184L.

Sales Order - Using Item Category 'TAB' - Individual Purchase Order

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 configuration guide specific for this process? I have found the 'third party' document/best practice, but nothing so far on "individual purchase order from sales order'.
Is there a way to default Purchase Order Type "UB" stock transfer from the Purchase Requisition NB? I thought this could be done based on the schedule line "CB" configuration, changing the 'item category' to 7 stock transfer, then 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' 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.
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.
Regards,
Sandra Miner

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.
Regards,
Alberto Ramos.
