What is item category 'document item' ?

hi all,
Pls tell me about item category 'document item- d' and how to define component of this type.
regards,
chinta

Hi Chinta,
You have to create the Document via using T-Code CV01N, in that you have to give in the Document Type which is to be configured in SPRO. and also you need to give the Document Part and Version.
then you get into the screen, and give in the description,
and the create the Attachment in the Originals Tab, there you have to first give in the document type,
again in the original field browse the document and attach the same.
then remember to right click the document and check in and save the same henceforth a no will be generated.
you can use this number with Item Category "D"
Hope it helps you.

Document type and item category

Hi All,
I have created two document types in MM for creating Purchasing Requisition. One for material and for service and material. But when i am selecting service and material document type, the item category at item level is automatically converted to D(Service) even though i dont select any thing(material). I have not done any settings for iterm category based on document type. Pls let me know why i am facing this problem.
Thanks,
Raju

Hi Amit,
For both the document types (Material and service, service) the item category standard and service are assinged. I have checked in SPRO--->MM-->Purchasing->Purchase requisition-->Define document type--->Check Allowed item category assingment and Link purchase requisition document type.
Hi Raghavendra
If SAP standard service document type then we cant take material and can take service only for creating PR, but in my case i have created one document type and named it as service and for this document type i have assigned item category of service and standard. In this case it should allow me to create PR with standard item category, but its not allowing me to do so. Pls let me know how can i solve this issue.
Thanks,
Raju

How to control item category in ME21n via authorization

Hi,
When creating/changing PO in ME21N/ME22N how can I give access to only certain item categories via authorization objects.
Many thanks for your help.
Alain.

Hi,
Please check the following:
If to a certain document type is assigned the 'blank' item
category (Category Text : Standard) for the document type in customizing ( Transaction olme ->
Purchase Order -> Define Document Types -> Select Document Type 'ZSVC'
-> Click Allowed Item Categories ), the system therefore would allow for the
item category to be left blank when the PO is created/saved, even if the
field selection key specifies it to be mandatory.Please note that in
case of the item category, the field selection key customizing is
actually not considered here but only the item categories defined.
If you would like to require an item category to be entered for the PO,
then kindly delete the standard item category type and other item category types rom the customizing of
the document type you use.

Item category W ( material groups )

Hello
I have a requirement.
Creation of Item category W for purchase requisitions.
Reason : We need to create Contracts with Item category W. And Purchase requisition is a requisite for creation of contracts.
How do i handle this.
I had initially suggested that Use of Item category W is not possible for Purchase requisitions
Rather they should use a PR with standard Item category and Account assignment U ( unknown)
Then create a contract referencing this Purchase requisiion.
However, when i tried this myself, the item category field itself got greyed out,
Request someone to guide me onthis. What is the other combination, of Itemcategory and acc. Assignment can i use for PRs such that i can create value contracts
Kindly advise. This is very urgently needed.
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Santosh

You can create a standard PR with blank item category and acct. assign. Cat.
Then create a value contract with document type WK with ref to PR, in the screen adopt + Details you can define the item category W & require Account assignment category.
Please check the combination of them in below path in SPRO.
SPROMaterial mgtPurchasingu2014Account assignment--Define Combination of Item Categories/Account Assignment Cat
Hope help U.

Item category in Purchase Requisition

Hello experts,
i am having a problem with PR. I made my own docs for RFQ, PR, and PO. and i allowed only standard item category for all these document and i linked them as well.
when i tried to make a PR with my PR doc type i left blank for item category (as for standard it is blank). but system is giving me error "enter item category". can you plese suggest me any solution
thank you very much

hi maggi,
check the field selection attached to your document type. In that particular field selection key, the item category field has been ticked as reqd. entry. Change it to optional entry. I guess your problem will be solved.
Check for the field selection key in : Define Document Types
Check for the item category field setting in : Define Screen Layout at Document Level - Basic Data, Item.

Item Category Group in BOM

Dear Gurus
I want to create the BOM for Computer = Screen + Herdisk + Key board
1) Main Item Level processing
I have maintained item category group ERLA in MMR (Sales 2 screen) of the finished product
(Computer 1 ).
What item category group should be maintained for sub items?
2) Subitem Level Processing
I have maintained item category group LUMF in MMR (Sales 2 screen) of the finished product
(Computer 2).
What item category group should be maintained for sub items?
3) Also explain about how to mainatin the master records (CS01).
Regards,
Ashish

Ashish,
Suppose the material is completed then the value is shown against final product. In that case we use Item vategory Group ERLA. The maina item category will be shown as TAQ. The Subitem will take item category TAE (text item)
If the material is still not complete then the value is ascertaind through sub items in that case LUMF item category is used and item category for the main item is TAP and for sub items it is TAN.
In any case we will change the item category group as (ERLA or LUMF) in the material master of the final material "Computer". Where as the subitems item category will be "Norm".
Note: If you use standarad Order = OR, and standard item category group ERLA in the Finished MAterial Conmputer, then system will automatically assign item categories for Main item = TAQ and SUb Items = TAE.
Standard process and ORder = OR
Then Execute MM02 for finished material or Main materialo alone i.e., "Computer", Assign Item Category Group = ERLA and save. Then create BOM CS01, CS11 Single level the output will be
COMPUTER = TAQ
SCREEn = TAE
HERdisk = TAE
Key board= TAE.
Similarly if you proceed process by changing Item category group = LUMF for main material i.e., Finished goods "Computer" then
COMPUTER = TAP
SCREEn = TAN
HERdisk = TAN
Key board= TAN
If you are changing the document type prefixed with Z , then you need to proceed with "Assign tem Catgeory"

High-Level items (item category LUMF, Sales BOM Usage 5) in PO's

One of our plants supplies High-Level Items to their customers. The GenItemCatGroup MARA-MTPOS_MARA and the Item category group MVKE-MTPOS for these items is = LUMF. These are essentially Phantom items, which they do not stock.
Weu2019ve created BOMu2019s for these items with BOM Usage 5
The components for these BOMu2019s are GenItemCatGroup MARA-MTPOS_MARA and the Item category group MVKE-MTPOS = NORM
In our sales orders, the high-level (LUMF) item comes in with Item Category TAQ, and all sub-items come into the order as TAE.
The TAQ items are relevant for pricing. The TAE items are not.
The requirements in MD04 are as follows: No requirement for the LUMF item (phantom item). Requirements DO appear for the sib-items.
Everything seems to be working fine as far as Sales Orders are concerned.
Our problem is that this same plant will also sell the same LUMF high-level items to other plants within our organization via Purchase Order (Type NB).
When an NB purchase order is processed, the MD04 only shows requirement for the LUMF Phantom Material. There are no requirements generated for the sub-items.
What do we need to do so that the NB Purchase Orders with LUMF items react the same way that sales orders do, as far as demand in stock requirements, pricing, etc?

Reason for creating new item category

when should we create a new item category

HI premkumar
A rule of thumb in SAP is "Not to change the Standard Setting" Either it is Order document, item category,schedule line, pricing procedure, delivery type, billing type e.t.c.
Basically it depends on the BUSINESS REQUIREMENT,why we go for customization. 90% of the BR will not fit into SAP STANDARD setting. So, when u have to change any of the existing setting like creating a New sales order document for particular business only ( Foods business..) ( though we generally use TAN as standard item category ) we can derive a cusomtized one as per our needs.
BR needs may be:
1. New Partner Determination procedure
2. New Text determination procedure.
3. New pricing setup
4. New incomplete procedure.
there are a lot more to come. When your Business needs any change in the existing TAN setting, SAP gives u the flexibility of creating new Item category.
Also, if you start changing STANDARD setting ( TAN) as per your needs, SAP doesn't support it when u have some problems or any UPGRADE issue.
This is the real need of CUSTOMIZATION in any Business /CLIENT.
Hope this helps.

Dear Ravi Varma,
Please copy the standard ITEM CATEGORY based on your scenario and then save in VOV6.
Assign the same for your document type in VOV4.
Another important thing you have to keep in mind is you have to include this NEW ITEM CATEGORY in the copy controls as well.
(in VTLA & VTFL)
Please check and revert back.

Item category determination in Lead

Hi,
I have created a Lead transaction type and done the Item category determination using the transaction type, Item category group and the Item category . Now when I am assigning the product to the lead transaction the Item category is not getting determined. The Item category group is already assigned to the Product .Am I missing out something . Pls help me out in solving the problem.
Thanks,
A Sahai

1. check whether item category group is assinged to your product.(Select from F4)
2. Define item category by copying the standard one.
3. Determine the itemcatagory
Transaction type+Item category group= Item category
This also you do by copying the respective standard item category determination line.
Reward points if it helps

Item Category for Services (Complaints) - Customizing price field and curr.

Hi Experts,
for a service company (thay have only services and no products) i have assigned to a transaction type the item category ZCOM which has assigned the following values in Customizing (SPRO):
Object Type:                             BUS2000160 (Customer Complaint Item)
Text Determination Procedure: COMP0001
Status Profile:                           CRMCOM_I
Action Profile:                           COMPLAINT_ITEM
I have also assigned the Business Transaction Categories to this item category:
BUS 2000115 Sales
BUS 2000120 Complaints
I am facing the following problems:
1. I can not put in a price for an item in the field "Net Value". Why that is not possible? I can not have the price in the master data
    of the product because the price is always different so this field has to be moficable. Do i have to assign another kind of item
    category?
2. Is it possible to put a default value EUR in the field Currency so that the user does not has to put always the value EUR in this
   field? Just the EUR currency will be used in this company.
3. May be it is possible to assign an item categoy which is more adecuate for service items like a copy from a standard item
    category? Anybody know a service product standard item category?
Best Regards
Oliver Schultze

Hi,
For your 1st question--
I think we can not put the Net value. Because the net value will come from price of the product as well as the pricing conditions. The net value in transaction is nothing but the product price and with some adjustment in conditions.
For the second question--
The currency will come from he BP data. The sold to party you have mainatined on your transaction check the currency is EUR or not. For this you go to BP and check in sales area data in biiling tab.
For thirduestion--
For as ervice product creation you have to give the item category as either SRVO or SRVM for service order product and service contract product.
I think you will get the idea from this
Cheers

Regarding difference between item category TAQ & TAN price relevant in BOM

In Bills Of Materials in MAIN ITEM-- TAQ is price relevant & In SUB ITEM --TAN is price relevant.so what is the difference between them

Hi Kalpataru,
The settings for TAQ and TAN are the same in standard system. You could check it in VOV7.
Normally we provide two sample standard item category groups for BOM creation.
If you are using item category group ERLA in materail master, then the BOM will be created as following:
Main Item TAQ (Pricing)
Sub Item TAE (no pricing)
And if you using item category group LUMF, then the BOM will be created as following:
Main item TAP (no pricing)
Sub Item TAN (Pricing)
Hope it helps.
Thanks and best regards,

Net price for consignment item category( urgent) in ME21n

Hi all,
while creating PO in me21n, net price is being displayed for the standard item category but net price is not comming while maintaining item category as consignment.
if the item category(ekko-pstyp)is consignment (i.e we have to put 'K' in the item category field in ME21n),then how can i display the net price in the net price field of ME21n.
The net price is comming in ME21n when item category = standard.but net price is not comming when item category = consignment.what is the reason?
plz let me know if there is any enhancement or exit for this net price to be displayed if the item category is consignment.
plz let me know what r the ways, i can display the net price in ME21n for the consignment item category?it is urgent.
any idea is highly appreaciated.
Thanks & Regards
pabitra

As given in your other post, please find the info below.
Hi Pabitra
I guess the price is taken from the material info record. Here the item category might be a part of the access sequence.
To get the same info, follow the below steps:
1. Go to Transaction: MEK3
2. Give the condition type as PB00
3. Click on Key Combination from the application toolbar
4. Select Material Info Record
5. Next selection screen shows you the list of mandatory fields. If item category also exists here, give '0' & 'K' for Item category and other fields like vendor number, purchase orgranization, material.
6. Execute.
7. In the next screen if you can see only one record for item category '0', it means that condition record for item category 'K' is not maintained.
Hence the price will not be extracted.
Hope the above info helps you.
Kind Regards

SolMan 4.0 CHaRM: Insert Item to Normal Correction: Item category / product

I'm looking for some detailed documentation on how to insert items to a Normal Correction.
When I add an item with (standard) product SAPCUSTPRGOPT and choose the (standard) item category SDCR ("best I could find") then I get the error "The item category 'SDCR' is not permitted for product 'SAPCUSTPRGOPT'."
Now I'm looking for an example that will show me how to insert an item with standard SOLMAN 4.0 settings. I hesitate to step into the CRM customizing details prepared by SOLMAN, instead I would expect that standard setting should work if used properly.
Thanks for help.
