Dear Friend,
Go to VOV7 - TATX...
Under General Control Tab, just check whether there is tick mark in Order qty = 1.
If yes then remove the tick mark & try to create a Sales Order again...
Hope this helps...
Thanks,

Schedule Lines for TATX items

I know that by default, schedule lines are not active for TATX (text) items in sales documents.
I'm also pretty sure that this option is not valid even if you activate it in the IMG.
Can anybody tell me:
1) Is my statement above correct ?
2) If so, why are schedule lines not allowed for TATX items.
3) Is there any way around this limitation ?

Thanks for your input so far. Perhaps you'll be kind enouth to stick with me a little more.
Let me expalin what my user is doing:
In the IMG configuration of our system, schedule lines were activated for TATX item category, however it still does not work as expected.
User enters a quantity of deliverable product on line item 1 with item category of TAN.
User creates a delivery schedule for line item 1 using schedule lines (category CP).
For line item 2, user wants to send "DOCUMENTATION" for each schedule line.
"DOCUMENTATION" exists in our SAP system as a material master, but no stock exists.
User enters a quantity of DOCUMENTATION on line item 2 with item category TATX.
User creates delivery schedule for line item 2. (auto populates sched category CT).
When delivery is created, the first schedule line for both items works fine.
For subsequent deliveries, line item 1 continues to work, but the line item 2, DOCUMENTATION material does not show up.
I suspect that we are trying to use the TATX item category differently than it was intended, and that some other method would be a better fit for making deliveries of non-stocked material.

Regarding text(tatx) Items

How to charge price for text Items, For example Item catgeory Tatx, how can we charge the price. please help me.
As soon as i enter the text in the sales order instood of material i need to trigger the price for the TATx item .

Hi,
You have to do PRICING DETERMINATION for this
Create a Condition table with Customer/Material Combination in V/03
Create an Access sequence and assign the CONDITION TABLE in V/07
Create a condition type and assign the Access sequence to that condition type in V/06
Create a Pricing procedure in V/08 and assign this condition type in V/08
Do pricing determination in OVKK
Maintain the CONDITION RECORDS for your condition type in VK11
Now create the Sales order with that Material , then automatically price will be triggered
Please check and revert back if you need more info

Dummy line item created with TATX item category in outbound delivery

Hi Experts,
We are using a custom transaction YLE_VL10 to create deliveries. Now the problem is when delivery is created, a dummy line item is created with item category TATX and zero qty which causes a problem while creating invoice.
Can anybody of you suggest what could be the reason for this? or how can it be prevented?
Thanks
RP

Hi Laxmi/Prakash,
I have checked 0184, it looks fine from that point of view.
We already suggested this check qty field to be as 'B' before. but our client says their shipping is critical and they have immediate next day shippings and so on. So at that time, if it does not allow to create delivery, then this option affects their business which is why they dont want to implement this workaround.
Hence we are searching for any other possiblity as of now and hence looking forward for ur replies.
Thanks

TATX-Item category Determination

Hi Friends,
In the item line when I enter merely the qty without giving the material no system accepts but determines item category as TATX....how tats happening?.......why system has to interpret as a text item?.........

Dear S. Kumar,
This is quite possible.
Merely entering the Material Description Quantity (as in your case), System will determine Item Category as "TATX" i.e. Text Item.
If, you check T. Code: VOV4 - Item Cat. Assignment; You will notice that there is no Item category group from material master, maintained for TATX.
Best Regards,
Amit

Pricing for Item Category TATX

Dear All,
Is it possible to maintain price for text item, i had tried by creating new item category as copy as TATX item category with Pricing = X (Standard) but still i am not able to enter order qty and pricing.
pls help,
Dhiraj

Could you give more background why you need to use a text item in your process? I suggest to use a service material for example with item category group WERT where you only need the basic view and sales view in material master. You can then automatically copy the tax classification needed for pricing from the material master. I don't actually know whether a text item can carry a price, but since you for example can't maintain any price master for it, it doesn't seem to be very useful. In my opinion a material number is always better and even faster to use, even though it takes a minute to create the material master. Then again you can use the same material number for all your "text item" purposes, after you've extended it to all needed plants and divisions.

Problem with VF04

Hello everyone,
I have a problem. We created a delivery with two items category different:
LZN(Stndard Itm w/o Ord)
TATX (Text Item)
We created the flow:
u2022     Delivery - Status: being processed
u2022     HU u2013 Status:
u2022     Picking Request - Status: completed
u2022     Confirmation service - Status: completed
u2022     Confirmation service - Status: completed
u2022     GD Goods issue - Status: completed
u2022     Invoice - Status: completed
u2022     Accounting document - Status: Not cleared
When we try to execute the transaction VF04 this delivery appears, and is not correct.
Another problem is the item category TATX is not in the invoice.
My questions are:
1.     I donu2019t want to see anymore this delivery when I execute the transaction VF04. What Ca I do?
2.     Is normal donu2019t see the position TATX in the invoice?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Check ur delivery if the TATX has got copied from order to delivery? If yes then check the item cat.TATX's billing relevance in VOV7..it shud be A-Deliv.related..
If this is also right then check VTFL at item level TATX shuld be available for ur Delv and Billing type(LF-F2)..
Finally go to VF01 enter ur deliv.no. and at the top right hand side thr is an option called 'Selection list' and copy the TATX item form delivery and do the billing...

Hi Desai
suppose if we are selling a TV then the TV manual also has to go the customer that is text item TATX
In the item category determination in VOV4 for the sales doc type OR+item category group maintained as blank usage is TEXT item category of the highel level item nil For this combination the default item category would be TATX
That means thro usage program TEXT(ABAP program) system determines it is a text item and gives item category as tatx
The example of text item is TV manual
Generally for TEXT items we dont maintain MMR's but again this is business requirement only
If some business cases if it is reqd we can maintain MMR's for text items with a special material type and without any qty or value updation

Text Item - TATX

Hi Team,
I was checking the item category configuration of Text Item (TATX) in [VOV7]. Under the Business Data Tab the Billing Relevance field has value 'A' - delivery related billing and the Pricing field has value 'No Pricing'. What does this combination mean? If the item has no pricing then why is it relevant for billing.
I have searched this forum with Text Item as the search key, however, didnt find sufficient answers. Would appreciate any help.
Regards
Nadarajah Pratheb

hi
TATX has ''relevant for billing A- delivery related billing '' bcoz text item should be reflected in the bill as an item. however since it is a text item it will not be charged to the customer. for example, when u buy a refridgerator, you get the user manual which is a text item, which is not billed. but your fridge is rather billed fully.
so inorder to show this text item in the invoice it has 'A' in the item category.
and since it is not charged to the customer there is no pricing maitained.
hoep this wil help u.

Which situation should we use the text item with the item category TATX

Dear experts!
Thank you for your attention!
I am confused with text item (TATX).
which situation should we use the text item with the item category TATX????
Someone told me that the text item is dummy and should be used as a manual of certain standard item. But the manual may be a book or several papers and it also takes up some inventory not a dummy.
So, could some body tell me what the text item (TATX) exact is and what function it has.
Best regard!
Tangdark

Hi,
you can use TATX if you like to enter a text and to print some information between the item lines.

Partial Delivery on Text Item (TATX)

Guru's, I have an order with both standard items and text items. I shipped half of the standard items and technically half of the text items. When I went back to create another delivery against the remaining items on the order, the text item did not show up even though it was originally short-shipped. How can I fix this? I need to be able to do this so we can remember to ship the remaining text items with the 2nd delivery
Thanks.

Hi All,
Need one clarification, Please go to your previously created delivery --> double click at item --> go to "Processing" tab page and check the Good issue status of your Text item

Text Item

Hi all.,
In my Project some non-cofied item is here.This some item (non-cofied) is pricing and excise also available.i want create without material.
pls give some idea and if any document send to the me.
Regards.,
Lakshmanan.S
E-Mail Id : [email protected]

The answer is to type description in Material description field in SO and use item category <b>TATX.</b> The problem with this is, it allows delivery, but does not allow pricing (pricing setting immediately goes to display mode in item category screen). If I do any other alterations with this item category, then it asks for material number while creating sales order.
I think the for text material pricing is not applicable.Thats why it's not taking.Text material is only for displaying text only.
If you go to the details of text item like TATX, it's not relevant to pricing and schedulines also not relevant

Any questions on Order Management Header and Item level?

Hi,
If you are interviewing somebody...And the position he wants is SD consultant.
What kind of questions will you raise on OM header level and item level??
Order management--Questions on Header level
Questions on item level
Thanks, would be better if you could also attach the answer.
Thanks!!

Dear Hoo,
ORDER MANAGEMENT & SALES
1.Briefly describe the types and structure of the sales document and give examples of data
that you find on the different levels.
Sales*related business transactions are recorded in the system as sales documents. There are, broadly
speaking, four different groupings of sales documents:
Sales queries, such as inquiries and quotations
Sales orders
Outline agreements, such as contracts and scheduling agreements
Customer problems and complaints, such as free of charge deliveries and credit memo requests.
Header Data
The general data that is valid for the entire document is recorded in the document header. This data
includes the:
number of the sold*to party
number of the ship*to party and the payer
document currency and exchange rate
pricing elements for the entire document
delivery date and shipping point
Item Data
Whereas data in the document header applies to all items in the document, some data applies only to
specific items. This data is stored at item level and includes the:
material number
target quantity for outline agreements
number of the shipto party and the payer (an alternative shipto party or payer can be defined for a
particular item)
plant and storage location specifications
pricing elements for the individual items
Schedule Line Data
An item consists of one or more schedule lines. The schedule line contains all the data that is needed
for a delivery. For example, a customer orders 20 pieces of a material and you enter this as an item in
the sales order. However, you can only deliver 10 pieces now and the remaining 10 pieces next month.
In other words, you need to schedule two deliveries. The data for these deliveries (dates, confirmed
quantities) are stored in two separate schedule lines. In sales documents where delivery data is not
relevant *for example: contracts, credit and debit memo requests * the system does not create any
schedule lines.
Data recorded in the schedule lines includes the:
schedule line quantity
delivery date
confirmed quantity
2.What is the difference between an inquiry and quotation ?
. Inquiry: Request made to a vendor for a quotation for required materials or services.
No availability check is done for inquiry.
. Quotation: Offer from a vendor to a purchasing organization regarding the supply of materials
or performance of services subject to predefined terms and conditions.
A quotation consists of a number of items, in which the total quantity and delivery date of an
offered material or service are specified.
The total quantity can be subdivided into several partial quantities with different delivery dates in the
lines of a delivery schedule.
3.Do you always have to have a material master record number when you enter an item on a
sales document (inquiry and quote)? If not what would you have to use to be able to enter
information at item level?
No. Customer Material Information or Material Description.
4.If a customer doesn't place an order with you after you have sent him a quotation, what happens to
the quotation document?
Remains active till the end of validity period.
5.Can you have alternative items in a sales order?
Yes.
6.If you reference an inquiry when creating a quotation ,would the inquiry be updated?
Yes.
7.Can you copy one inquiry to many quotations ?
No.
8.Can you copy several previous documents into one sales order?
Yes.
9.Do you always have to copy the entire quantities at item level when you reference a
previous document?
No.
10.Can you make sure that business data in a sales order is only possible to maintain at header
level?
Yes.
11.From where is the delivering plant transferred into the sales order?
Customer Master, Material Master.
12.Which partner function is relevant for the delivering plant? The soldtoparty ,
billtoparty, payer, carrier or the ship* to* party?
Ship*to party.
13.Can you manually change the delivering plant in the sales order once it was defaulted from
the master data?
Yes.
14.For what or why do you use the incompletion log?
To have a complete document so that it doesnu2019t affect subsequent processes.
15.Can you have different incompletion logs for different item categories? Schedule line
categories?
Yes.
16.If a document is incomplete can you still save the document?
Yes.
17.Which reference status can a document have at item level? Which statuses at header level?
Item level: Partial, Full.
Header level: Full.
18.What's the advantage of using text as a reference instead of duplicating it?
Can be modified if needed.
19.What three sources provide data for the creation of a sales document?
Material Master, Customer Master, Previous referenced documents.
20.Can you change addresses of partners manually in the sales document?
Yes.
21.Name several input tools that make order entry faster and give a definition of them?
Customer Material Information, Product Proposal , Referencing Documents.
22.In which business environment would you use only the single*line entry screen to create
and save the order?
Telephone Sales, Simple Business.
23.If you do not specify the delivering plant in the sales order, what could the system then not
do?
Delivery Scheduling.
24.For what would you use the fast change function in sales entry?
Alternate Plants, Delivery or Billing Blocks
25.Name two ways to control that customers can receive only certain materials?
Material Listing, Exclusion.
26.What does the item category control?
General Data
. Should pricing be carried out for the item?
. When should an item be regarded as completed? A quotation item, for example, can only be
regarded as completed if the entire quantity has been copied into a sales order.
. Is it an item that refers to a material or is it a text item?
. Are schedule lines allowed for the item?
. May general business data, for example, the terms of payment at the item level, deviate from
those at the header level?
. Should a system message appear if the item cannot be fully delivered?

which output determination procedure is used?
Shipping Data

. Is it a statistical item? Pricing is carried out for statistical items. However, they are not added
to the value of the order, that is, the customer is not charged for them.
. Should a billing block be set automatically for an item? For example, this may be important for
items whose prices have to be clarified before billing
. Is it a returns item?

. Sales Document type, Item Category Group, Higher Level Item, Item Usage.
. Name the influencing factors for determining the scehdule line category in the sales document?

General Data
. Can the document be entered only with reference to a preceding document?
. Should the existing customer
. material info record be taken into consideration?
. Should the delivery date be proposed?
. Must a customer number be entered when creating a document? For example, product
proposals can be entered without reference to a particular customer.
. Which order probability is defined?
. Should the division be taken from the material master record for every item or should an
alternative division specified in the header take precedence over the item specifications?
. How should the system respond if the division entered in the header deviates from the division
in the items?
. Should a credit limit check be made?
. From which number range should the document number for internal or external number
assignment come?
. Which fields are relevant for the incompletion log? The validity period, for example, is
important for contracts and must therefore be specified in the document.

Shipping Data
. Which delivery type should the delivery resulting from the order have?
. Should delivery scheduling be carried out?

. Should a delivery block be set automatically for a specific reason? For example, a delivery
block may be appropriate for a freeofcharge delivery.
. You can define shipping conditions for a sales document type. These are copied into the
document regardless of what is defined in the customer master record.
Billing Data
-->Which billing type should the invoice resulting from the order or the delivery have?
Should a billing block be set automatically for a specific reason? For example, a billing block may be
appropriate if a credit memo request should first be checked before it is used as the basis for a credit
memo.
-->Can the sales document type be determined by the system?
No.
-->In R/3, can you automatically substitute one product for another? How? What would you
have to create?
Yes. Product Selection / Material Determination.
-->Give a definition of replenishment lead time?
Total time for the inhouse production or for the external procurement of a product. In inhouse
production the replenishment lead time is determined to cover all BOM levels.
What's the difference between checking availability with or without replenishment lead time (RLT)?
With RLT : Availability check is done only upto end of RLT. If material is not available the date on
which RLT ends is displayed as Material Availability Date.
Without RLT : Availability check is unrestricted. Displays Delivery Dates as on which partial deliveries
can be made with available stock.
-->Name at least three item categories?
Standard Items : AFN, AGN, TAN.
Free of charge Items: AFNN, AGNN, TANN.
Non*stock Items : AFX, AGX, TAX.
Text Items : AFTX, AGTX, TATX.
-->Why would you use different item and schedule line categories?
Item categories are defined to provide additional control functions for the sales documents and thus
meet the demands resulting from the different business transactions.
The items in a sales document are divided into one or more schedule lines. These schedule lines differ
from each other with respect to date and quantity. For some schedule lines, material requirements
planning is not carried out; for other schedule lines, it is carried out. Also goods receipt, not goods
issue, is posted for a schedule line defined in a returns document.
-->Can you change existing standard item categories?
Yes.
-->Can you create new sales order types?
Yes.
-->Different dates will be calculated in order entry scheduling . Can you name the lead time
variables that will be taken into account?
Transportation lead time, Pick/pack time, Loading time, Transit time .
If you run out of stock in a specific plant can you check if there are quantities available in other plants?
Yes.
-->When you carry out availability check, which quantities or movements can the system take
into consideration?
The following elements can be included in the availability check:
Stocks : safety stock, stock in transfer, stock in quality inspection, blocked stock.
Inward and outward movements : purchase orders, purchase requisitions, planned orders, production
orders, reservations, dependent reservations, dependent requirements, sales requirements, delivery
requirements.
-->Give some examples of sales document types (description, not necessary the short code)
that already set up in the standard system?
Indicator used to control the processing of the various sales documents which are defined in the
system. E.g., OR, SO, BV, KR. Document types allow the system to process different kinds of business
transactions, such as standard orders and credit memo requests, in different ways.
-->Can you maintain texts for a specific customer and store them in the system? If yes, where?
Yes. Customer Material Information.
-->When the system checks availability which scheduling would it use first?
Backward Scheduling.
-->Name the influencing factors for the determination of the availability date?
The following data is required for determining this date:
Route from the shipping point to the ship*to party location
Shipping point from which the goods are issued
Loading group from the material master record
Weight group determined from the order using the order quantity.
-->Name the three delivery possibilities when there is not enough stock available?
One Time Delivery, Complete Delivery, Partial Deliveries.
-->Can you think of an example why you would have to create a text for a customer and copy it
to the sales order?
Customer specific instructions.
-->What is the function of item category group?
The item category group determines how a material is processed in the sales order. It defines, for
example, that pricing does not take place for a free of charge item, such as a business gift; or that
inventory management is not carried out for a service. When processing sales and distribution
documents, the system uses the item category group to determine the item category. The system
determines the item category based on the item category group of the material and the current
business transaction, and proposes it in the respective document.
When creating the material types non*stock material and services, DIEN is proposed in both cases for
the item category group, because the order processing for both material types is identical: for
example, pricing is carried out for both, but no availability check.
-->On sales order, when the system confirms 20 pieces to be available at a certain date, would
these 20 pieces still be available for other new sales order coming in later?
No.
-->What is a delivery group and why would you use it?
The complete delivery and delivery group functions enable you to combine some or all of the items in a
sales order so that they are delivered to the customer together. The system determines automatically
the latest delivery date possible for the delivery group and adjusts the schedule lines accordingly.
Corresponding requirements for material requirements planning (MRP) are changed or re*determined.
-->What is backorder processing?
The backorder processing functions enable you to list relevant sales documents for specific materials
and process them from the point of view of availability. You can assign available to promise (ATP)
stock to outstanding order quantities. In addition, you can withdraw already confirmed quantities and
reassign them to different items.
Backorder processing is only available for materials with individual requirements.
-->Can you link items in a sales order? If yes, when would you do that?
Yes. Promotional Items.
-->For what would you use BOMu2019S in sales? What two methods of BOM processing do you have
in sales order entry? How can you control if the system should/should not explode a BOM in
the sales order.
A bill of material (BOM) describes the different components that together create a product. A BOM for
a bicycle, for example, consists of all the parts that make up the bicycle: the frame, the saddle,
wheels, and so on. When you enter the material number of a bill of materials that is relevant for sales
order processing, the system displays the material that describes the whole bill of materials as a main
item. The components are displayed as sub*items.
Processing by Main Item : ERLA & Processing by Sub*Item : LUMF
BOM explosion can be prevented by specifying Item Category Group as NORM.
Credit limit checks is an example of a very close link between which two SAP modules?
SD & FI.
-->What are the two techniques in delivery scheduling?
Backward Scheduling & Forward Scheduling.
-->How does a third party deal work? Do you use a special sales order type for that? How could
the system know that you want to process a third party deal?
By specifying item category as TAS using double*line entry in the sales order.
No special order type is available.
By the item category group and/or material type in Material Master .
Name the several steps in consignment processing.
Consignment fillup, Consignment issue, Consignment pickup, Consignment return.
Whatu2019s the difference between consignment pick*up and consignment return?
In consignment pick*up, customer returns consignment stock. When goods issue is posted, the
relevant quantity is deducted from the customer's special stock and is added back to regular stock at
the plant where the goods are returned. Total valuated stock remains the same since the returned
stock was regarded as part of inventory even while it was at the customer's premises.This transaction
is not relevant for billing.
In consignment return, customer wishes to claim on consignment goods which have already been
issued. When goods issue is posted, the relevant quantity is added to the customer's special stock at
the plant where the goods are returned. Since the ownership of the goods is passed from the customer
back to the company, the transaction is relevant for billing. In this case, the customer receives a credit
memo for the returned goods.
-->Can you control that an end user cannot copy a quote of customer A to a sales order for
customer B? If yes, where?
Yes. By customizing Copying Control for header data.
Give some example for data that is copied from the customer (soldto, payer, shipto) to the sales
order as well as for data that is copied from the material?
General data, payment terms, shipping details, delivery agreements, delivering plant.
-->What is returnable packaging processing?
Returnable packaging consists of materials that are stored at the customer location but which remain
the property of the company. The customer is only required to pay for the returnable packaging if he
does not return it by a specified time.
Name the two outline agreements in R/3 standard and explain the difference between them.
Agreements are arrangements between business partners regarding the granting of conditions over a
specified time period. The agreement contains conditions which apply over a particular time period and
which are settled together at the same points in time. An agreement can be settled once or
periodically. The two outline agreements include Contracts and Scheduling Agreements.
Unlike a contract * which only contains an overall target quantity or value * a scheduling agreement
also contains specific order quantities and delivery dates.
-->How many documents do you create when you release, deliver and invoice the first order
from a contract?
Three : Sales order, Delivery note, Invoice.
-->What types of output can you have in sales?
Printer, Telex, Fax, Mail, EDI.
-->Can you automate output processing ? Do you always have to specify it manually?
yes. No.
-->Where would you specify which data should be copied (at header, item and schedule line
level)when you copy from one document to another one?
Customizing Copy Control.
I hope it will help you,
Regards,
Murali.
