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

Set as default value the Item Category in the Maintenance Order

Hello everyone,
We are trying to find a user exit in order to set as default value the item category in the Maintenance Order once the Material has been introduced (Tag Components).
SAP Customizing let the user set the Item Category automatically per Material Type, but we need to set different Item Categories to materials belonging to the same material type.
We would really appreciate any help relating this issue.
Thank you very much,
Víctor Liedo

Dear Paul,
Thank you very much for your response.
I had already tried customizing mentioned by Pithan, but it did not work because we need to set different Item Categories for Materials with same Material Type.
We have been searching for exits which may let us set Item Category in the Maintenance Order, but it does not seem to be possible.
What you say about adding some custom validation through user exit, not to set item category as default value, but to check if the one entered is valid, sounds the best way of achieving our commitments.
I have tried to look for CNEX0037 & CNEX0038, by using transactions SE37 and SE38, search for programs and functions modules, but it did not work. Could you please tell us what kind of objects are?
Thank you very much in advance.

Condition populated twice in the item conditions in the sales order

Hi,
We are creating the sales order through .csv flat file. The program calls the relevant BAPI which creates the sales order. It also fills the amount from the file for the manual condition type YNET in the pricing procedure. YNET is defaulted automatically in the sales order. But maintaining value is not mandatory.
The problem is in sales order, YNET is displayed twice in the item conditions.
One YNET with no value and another YNET with value which we passed through file.
Any suggestions how we can get only one YNET in the item conditions in the sales order or how the value from our file can be added against the YNET in the pricing procedure with showing another YNET in the item conditions in the sales order
Thanks in advance,

Hi Ramakrishnan,
Thanks for your reply. Its a manual condition type. No condition records maintained.
Thanks,
Ram

Not able to change item category of a sales order in VA02

Hi,
When I am going to transaction VA02 for changing an sales order it is not allowing me to change z item category of the line item. Can someone tell me if it is a configuration or some User exit/BADI might be there behind this behavior.
Note: Recently the system was upgraded to ECC 6.0 and after that only this problem was coming.
Thanks,

Trigger Item Category determination in sales order via program

Hi,
We are changing item category through an exit based on a field at item level, which the user would enter manually.
However once the exit changes the item category, if the user reverses his selection or gives another value for which item category should be the orginal one, i need to change the item category back to what was originally determined.
Rather than looking up the config tables of item category determination, we would like to trigger item category determination through the exit itself.
Can someone suggest if this is possible, if so what is the code to be written.
Regards,
KC

Hi,
You can use the following user exit to change the item category in the include MV45AFZB..
*&      Form USEREXIT_SOURCE_DETERMINATION
<b>*       This Userexit is used to add additional logic for finding      *
      the source of the plant or the item category.</b>                  *
      This form is called from form VBAP_FUELLEN                     *
FORM userexit_source_determination.

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.

Program for mass change in the sales order.

Hi,
I have a requirement where If we make changes in the availability check rule of the material master(for e.g. 02 to 01),then the same rule should be changed in the sales order as well.
Though this will be changed for the new orders but is there any program which we can run manually or in the background in order to make changes in the old sales orders.
Regards
Karan

Hi,
U cannot change checking group or checking rule for availabillity check at sales order level, u can change requirements type.
If u want to change requirements type determined into sales orders, which r already created go to t.code MASS and select the object type sales orders and press execute, select sales order item data on tables tab,and select requirements type on fields tab and press execute.specify sales documents number from and to and item numbers, and press execute and specify the new value and press carryout mass change button and then save.

Incompletion log Profitability Segment at item level in the Sales Order

Hello Sapians,
We recently activated the "Sales Order value flow to COPA". When we create the Sales Orders the Profitability segment for the item is getting picked up automatically and have no issue in saving the Sales Order.
But when we edit the Sales Order and then try to save it, Sales Order has incompletion log which is leading to Profitability segment in the item level.
When I click the little box in Sales Order Item > Account Assignment tab> Profitability Segment forward arrow--> "continue" or "derivation" in the populated screen, then the Forward arrow in the profitability segment is deriving the characteristics, then system lets us to save the Sales order with out any incompletion log.
I checked the OSS notes 114520, in this OSS note, my sitiuation is exactly first point but could not get any clue how to resolve automatically.
Why it is happening only when we edit the Sales Order? How to update bulk of Sales Order automatically?
Any inputs?
Thank you.

Hi
Since you have activated the Sales order flow to COPA, any change in the sales order triggers a Prof Segment redetermination.... Thats why you are able to save it once you redetermine the Prof Segment....
Ideally, if no Chars like Plant/Org Elements/etc are changed - It need not trigger the Prof Segment redetermination...
Refer Note 729381 - When is a profitability segment supposed to be determined?.... With ref to this note, raise an OSS msg to SAP and check if it is possible to avoid the redetermination of PSG as long as none of the relevant chars are changed in the sales order....
There is a similar issue in MTO where by, even if you change the Header text of sales order, it triggers the Sales order cost estimate.... SAP provided a note to stop this... Note 1548608 & 1260868.... Your case is similar to this.... Raise an OSS to SAP and ask them if they can provide such a note for your case.... I feel, it should be possible for SAP to give this!

Item category TAK in sales order.

Hi all,
Actually i am a PP guy. One of out user want customer specific planned and production order. For that he want to change item category in sales order From TAN to TAK. he want the system should directly create sales order for that item with item category TAK. I manually changrd item category to TAK tested this in sanbox but system is not creating sales order specific planned and production orders after changing item category to TAK also. I also tried changing strategy to 20, 40, 82 but item category was not TAK.
Does item category is determined by strategy group in MRP 3.
When I changed item category to TAK why planned and production order were NOT sales order specific.
Pl explain
Thanks

Hi,
how system come to know which item catwegory is to be used in sales order.
In your case, for TAK..if u check in VOV4 the item category determination must be like this...
Sales Order typeItem category grp(from Mat.master)UsageHigher level item cat.grpDefault item categ
OR0001(make to order) BlankBlankTAK
This ishow ur item categ wud get determined in sales orders...
i wanted to know waht ia significance of TAK as item category in sales order
I beleive TAK does not have any specific settings for MTO scnario..it's merely a copy of TAN..Only Item cat.grp 0001 does matter in MTO scenario...and ofcourse strat.type from PP perspective..

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.

Hi,
Refer to link below:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/dd/55fb13545a11d1a7020000e829fd11/content.htm
Item category is determined automatically by the system based on the following criteria:
Item category = Sales Document type + Item category group (in material master) + Usage indicator (ABAP) + High Level I.Cat
It can be changed manually (if configured).
Sales Document types are configured atIMG: Sales and Distribution > Sales > Sales Documents > Sales Document Item > Define Item Categories -- transaction VOV7

Force free item (TANN) in the sales order?

Is there any way to force a free item (TANN category) to be added to a sales order (VA01)? Standard configuration cannot be used because users want the item to be added after they have filled in an custom (Z) field on a line.
With standard free goods determination free item is added immediately after user hits [Enter]. But in this case they enter data for the line, hit [Enter], SAP goes through all its stuff and only then the field becomes available. After they fill in the field and hit [Enter] SAP doesn't go back to the same place where normally free goods are determined.
Could I use some flag to fool the program into going back or is there an FM that I could call? Does anyone know where exactly standard free goods determination is performed?
I've been debugging the whole day, so your help will be trully appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks for your response. Basically yes, they want just to add a free item to the order, it's just not based on the material entered (otherwise standard would have worked fine) but on the custom "deal" field.
User expectations are along these lines:
1. User enters material, quantity, sales unit.
2. Use goes to the tab 'Additional data B' on the item
3. User enters 'Deal" and hits Enter (or goes back to the overview screen).
4. Free item appears.
The problem is that standard free goods determination happens between 1 and 2. Nothing happens between 3 and 4.
