Using "Item Category" flexfield for Item information on Requistion

Hi Friends,
We are using "Item Category" flex field for gathering Item information on Requisition.
Please let me know how Item Category flex field can be used when using external catalogs /punch out.
Also I need to know how to map the flex field segments with the suppliers' UNSPSC codes.
Thanks

Hi Sandeep,
Thanks for your suggestion.
Do we need to define the mapping for each item in the supplier catalog to be able to use the item in the P2P flow.
I mean to use the item in the requisition-receipt cycle.
Will this be a manual task or is there any automated programs available for this.
Thanks and Regards

How to use Stock Category Group for two different configuration.

Hi all,
I want to use the stock category group to do this scenario:
I have two process using the same location, the process A wants to consider Stock cat. Grp. 'ZSW' (SAPAPO/LOC3) so it will consider Stock using CC, CF and CE. The process B wants to consider Stock Cat. Grp. 'ZST' to consider only CC.
My doubt:
How can I do that setup to make different things according the process? I tried to do something in Planning Area (SAPAPO/MSDP_ADMIN) but doesnu2019t work.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks,
-Ralph Veiga

Hi Ralph Veiga,
Indeed the stock category group is define at location level...
I think your answer involves macros more than PA settings.
First I will suggest to split the stock key figure into 2: one for CC, one for the other.
For the CC, use the standard (cetegory group with CC only on the location master)
Now you need to populate the second key figure with CF and CE.
You should be able to built a macro using function PHYSICAL_STOCK() to get what you want.
For sure yuo first need a way to check if you want or not the CF and CE. Here implement your own logic for exemple base on your product characteristics with either MAT(), MAT_C(), MAT_EXTRA(), MATLOC_C()...
Else you can use a Z function in the macro to collect this data, but it involves ABAP coding.
PS: you don't actually need to split the key figure into to, but I think it helps with visibility...

Why can't I use the Column Browser for my iPod when connected to the computer?

In iTunes 11, I can use the Column Browser while viewing my music library on the computer. But it's inexplicably not available for viewing the music on my iPod when it's connected to the computer to sync.
The Column Browser is the simplest, easiest, most elegant way for me to review what's on my iPod, and create Playlists from my music and CD books. It was available in 10.7 and is available on the computer, why not the iPod????!!!???
Why mess around changing something that isn't broken - after all these years why can't that option still be available? It doesn't have to be the default, just be available. Will I have to downgrade to 10.7 yet again????
And you don't even have a relevant category for me to choose from below!! It makes sense to me that you provide a general "Using iTunes" category.

Thanks for your reply, but I've already done that and the Column Browser options are completely grayed out. I've taken a screen shot and hope I can paste it in here. You'll see I have the sidebar open. That's the way I prefer to deal with iTunes.
This happened after I updated to iTunes 11.0.4. Perhaps that changed the setting options. I think I had the Column Browser option prior to that, but I just got a new iPod and I was busy loading stuff, so not completely sure if it worked before the update. But I think I would have noticed, because it bugs me so much not to have the option.

Consingment process for Brazil using item category K

Colleagues,
I found in SAP Help this document describing the use of item category K for Brazil environment.
This document shows the use of the item category together the brazilian movement 821, tax codes K5/K6 and notas fiscais.
http://help.sap.com/bp_bl603/BBLibrary/HTML/139_EN_BR.htm
This document information is different for the recomendation of forums. (consignment plant, consignment storage location, split valuation, 2 materials and others)
If this SAP document really works for Brazil will be very helpful.
Any colleague already used this solution for Brazil ?
How do you handle MIRO for this process ?
Fernando Moya

Ho colleagues,
The use of transaction MRKO does not apply for Brazil legal environment.
All Account payables should be done according the legal Brazil document called *Nota Fiscal* and them must go to the legal fiscal book.
The Brazil Environment has many specific details to cover legal requirements and SAP provides the country package for Brazil, including many new material movements to cover part of this legal requirements.
The consignment process is one of this process and by this reason the standard SAP routine cannot be used.
My question is specific to cover Brazil Localization and legal requirements.
Will be very helpful answers of colleagues with knowledge about Brazil localization.

Which views/tables to use for retrieving item information

Hi All,
I need to write a PL/SQL procedure for retrieving detailed information for a specified item (given inventory item ID and organization ID). I'm not quite sure which views/tables to us for this.
I found out that view MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_FVL is the underlying view for the Master Item Form (via help / record history menu option). But when looking up in eTRM following warning is described:
Warning: Oracle does not recommend you query or alter data using this view. It may change dramatically in subsequent minor or major releases.
The second view I found is MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_VL. But when quering for data in this view, it turned out that the view is empty.
Can anybody tell me for what purposes this view is used?
Is it the correct way to use one of these views (or any other?) for retrieving detailed item information or should I better define a new query within the procedure using tables such as MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_B, MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_TL and MTL_PARAMETERS (any others) ?
Any ideas for that?
Best Regards,
Carolin

Hi Carolin,
It's usually more efficient to use base tables instead of views. The tables you will actually need will depend on your requirements. Regarding your question about MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_VL, it's usually ok to use the _VL views. These typically contain the same information as the base tables plus some logic to get the appropriate translations for fields that can be shown in different languages (for instance, DESCRIPTION). Typical table names you will need could be:
Item Master: MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_B
Organizations: MTL_PARAMETERS
Subinventories: MTL_SECONDARY_INVENTORIES
Units of Measure: MTL_UNITS_OF_MEASURE
Onhand Quantity: MTL_ONHAND_QUANTITIES_DETAIL
Material Transactions: MTL_MATERIAL_TRANSACTIONS
Categories: MTL_CATEGORIES_B, MTL_CATEGORY_SETS_B, MTL_ITEM_CATEGORIES
If your query didn't return any data, it's probably because the language was not properly setup in your session (check USERENV ('LANG') so see what's the language in your session).
Hope it helps.

When viewing multiple item information, I was wondering what the checkboxes next to "Artist", "Album Artist", etc... are used for.

When viewing multiple item information, I was wondering what the checkboxes next to "Artist", "Album Artist", etc... are used for.

When checked, it means that you are going to apply whatever is in the box to all of the selected items.

How do you use the Multiple Item Information dialog box ???

How do you use the Multiple Item Information dialog box ???
Where are the instructions on how the information in the Multiple Item Information dialog box equates to ...
1. The way iTunes sorts tracks and albums
2. The reason to select a leading check box
3. Why there are Option selections (Yes /No) and leading check boxes.
4. Why some changes remain in the track info, but do not "take effect" in iTunes (Part of a compilation is an example)
Looked in Help, Support, went to the local Genius bar for an hour, even arrainged a call from apple support ...
Thanks

As Christopher says, it's a compilation. Different tracks are by different artists.
Setting the *Album Artist* field to *Various Artists* and setting *Part of a compilation* to Yes should be all that is required. Depending on your *Group compilations when browsing* setting ( I recommend On ) either should suffice but I suggest doing both.
Based on your commentary, I selected all the "O Brother" tracks, and checked the boxes for everything line that was blank in the Info and the Sort panes. Only exceptions were the album name and the disc number 1 of 1 and the artwork. I blanked and checked anything else.
That's not what I meant. When you select multiple tracks, only those values which +are already common+ to all tracks are displayed. Typically these will include Artist, though not with compilation albums, Album Artist, Album, No. of Tracks, Genre plus various sort fields. A blank value may indicate that different tracks have different values or it may be that the value is blank for all tracks. For the drop down values on the Options tab the value shown may not reflect the information in every tag. If values you expect to be common, such as Album Artist or the Album title are not displayed you can simply type these in and click OK. This will often be enough to group the album.
If you place a checkmark against the blank boxes and apply changes then you will clear those fields so you should only do this if that is the effect you want. Putting a checkmark next to an empty (representing different values) *Track No.* box, for example, will just clear the all the track numbers which is very rarely useful.
Adding then removing extra text is for a specific problem where despite all common values being identical across the tracks of the album iTunes seems to "remember" that it should see two albums. A typical example would be when an album originally listed as *Album CD1* & *Album CD2* is given disc numbers X of Y and then has the Album name changed to Album. I've seen iTunes merge all but one track into the new album, but insist on listing one remaining track separately, despite both albums having the same title. In this case I've found overtyping the album title again has no effect whereas changing it to AlbumX and then back to Album does what I was trying to achieve in the first place.
Don't forget that even properly organsied albums may still break up if you don't chose an album-friendly view. Sorting on the track name or track number columns can be useful in some circumstances but in general I revert to Album by Artist when browsing through my library.

To fill in the material number with item category u201CBu201D for Framework Order.

The use of framework orders (also referred to as blanket purchase orders) enables you to procure a variety of materials or services from a vendor up to a predefined maximum value (the value limit).
Instead of a specific delivery date, you specify a validity period for the order.
Goods receipts or the entry and acceptance of services performed are not necessary in the case of a framework PO and limit items.
The invoices are posted directly with reference to the purchase order, provided that the specified value limit is not exceeded. When the value limit of the PO is reached, or the validity period is exceeded, the system issues a warning message. It is possible to book the invoices, but these are blocked for payment.
During the phase of service performance, the cumulative u201Cactual" values (for the services actually performed) are continually updated in the underlying purchase. This enables you to monitor the progress of a procurement project on an ongoing basis. By comparing the "actual" value with the total value, you can always obtain an overview of the degree to which a budget for unplanned services or materials has been exhausted (i.e. see whether predefined limits have been reached or nearly reached).
So with the Framework Order type (FO) and item category u201CBu201D you get the error that it is not allowed to fill in the material number with item category u201CBu201D.
Please suggest me the possible solution to fill in the material number with item category u201CBu201D for Framework Order.
Best Regards,
Harisha

The Framework order type is specialy defined for lesser value procurements (ex: stationeries, cleaning services ....) which are all not worthy to create Material Master at all.
If you are very sure to fill the Material number, then proceed with some other document type.
In what circumstances you want to put material number in FO order?

Item category editable for components in task list

Hi all,
I need help to put the item category editable for components in task list.
Currently it comes as "L" and the field is non editable. Do you have any ideas or solutions? I already tried SPRO but didn't find anything useful.
Thanks in advance,
MB

Thanks Maheswaran,
So if it isn't possible to make it editable, how can I change the category to 'N'?
Does that configuration depend on the company? Because I want the item category to be 'N' for just some companies.
Thanks

Item category group for Raw Materials

Hello Gurus,
Goodmorning,
I have a client requirement,
Here my client is selling the Raw materials , i have some confusion in taking the category group , what is the item category group we have to use for determing for the sales categories ? I don't find any special item category group for raw material . in material master as well as in item category determination in in sales document types too .
looking for your inputs in this regard.
Thanks &Regards
Ravi.M

Hello Ravi,
Sales of Raw material already being discussed some times back.
As I know, as per Central Excise law, you are not suppose to sell the raw material from a manufacturing unit.
Hence, you rename the ROH material code with suffix A. In tcode OSM2, activate sales view tab.
Apart from this, you need to maintain the renamed code in tcode J1ID with numeric value 1 under the tab Declared.
But, normal OR-LF-F2 process.
FYI - Choose of Material tyoe will be important than choose of general item category group. As I Cat group, Materials grouping that helps the system to determine item categories during sales document processing. If a group is configured specific to distribution channel, it has priority if the corresponding activity is distribution channel-dependent. In the standard system, there are normal items, items that signify services (and therefore need no delivery processing) and items that signify packing material, for example.
Thanks & Regards

There is no album artwork in the Multiple items information box for all albums

I have iTunes 10.0.5 and all my album artwork is present but when i bring up the Multiple item information box by clicking on an album there is no artwork there?
but there is artwork on the actual album. im wondering if this is why when im uploading music to the internet using FTP transfer the artwork doesnt come up next to the song name. It does with some and with others there is no art.
All the songs have ID3tags versoin 2.4 and have been converted to a MP3 file but still doesnt work.
Check this image to understand what i mean more.
So from the right itunes is showing an album with the album art, in the middle is showing the Multiple items information boc and on the left its showing my FTP with albumart work showing and some not showing?
PLease can someone help

*Why is artwork not showing on my iPod when it's there in iTunes?*
iTunes will display a cover in many of it's views provided at least one track from the album has embedded artwork. The iPod appears to load only the artwork from track one to create the cover flow and album views which means that it can sometimes fail to display art for albums even when you can see the art in iTunes. Further, when tracks are played on the iPod, artwork is displayed if and only if it exisits in the currently playing track, so track one may show art while track two does not.
*How to find tracks without artwork*
To find all the tracks without artwork so that you can update them you can try http://www.stum.de/itunes-find-tracks-without-artwork/ for Windows or http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/scripts13.php for Macs. If you're using Google or other FWSE to locate suitable images they should be jpg's and ideally square, 320x320 pixels or above and borderless to give the best results in the various menus. If you have artwork for some tracks of an album, but not others, select a track with artwork, right-click (Option-Click for Macs) on the art & click copy, then select all the tracks of the abum, use CTRL-I or Option-I to *Get Info* and then paste the image into the artwork box.
*Rebuild artwork cache*
Sometimes the artwork cache becomes corrupt and fails to show correct artwork, even when this is properly set up in iTunes. To rebuild the artwork cache, connect your iPod to iTunes. Locate the iPod in the Sources pane on the left-hand side, then select the Music tab. Remove the tick from *Display album artwork on your iPod*, sync the iPod, reselect the option & sync again.

Item category group for Sales of Nonstock Item with Order Specific Procurem

What will be the item category & group for the material for Sales of Nonstock Item with Order Specific Procurement.So that purchase requestation is created

Hi
As of my Understanding this a scenario of THIRD PARTY SALE WITH SHIPMENT where delivery will be created . Addition to the previous setting few more changes that need to be accomodated like it has to be delivery related billing - A for item category
The indicator 'E' will make sure the Stock will be procured only against the particular sale order and it will be delivered only against this sales order. Apart from this there are few more thing need to be done with the Schedule line level
You need to give the movement type 601, item relevant for delivery need to be checked, order type from the MM side need to be assigned, item category from MM and Account assignment group from MM, all these need to to be maintianed in Schedule line level.
Infact why not TAS , we can use TAN , or ZTAN itself But as per the scenario we need to do the changes as required.
Doing all this we can process this order.
Thanks.................Rishi

Retrieving Sharepoint List Item Information for SAP Best Approach

Hi
We have a request for retrieving Sharepoint list item information to create DVS objects in SAP. Has anybody been doing something like that, getting information out of Sharepoint into SAP? What would the best approach for this be, as usually implementations are the other way around, i.e. getting data out of SAP into Sharepoint. I think that Duet Enterprise would be an overkill for this and also requires additional licenses.
So I have been thinking using either a PI/Web Service using the Sharepoint WSDL to retrieve the information, or maybe there are also possibilities using WebDAV. There are some CL_HTTP_WEBDAV classes, but I am not sure whether and how they could be used for this.
Does anybody have how-tos or examples for either approach? Feedback is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Daniel

Without using a ridiculously long workflow (which even then may not work) I do not think this is feasible in a sharepoint list. A workflow can be used to alter other fields in an item but not incrementing items like you require. You would be better changing
to data sheet view (quick edit in 2013) and changing them all manually then, or changing to terms such as priority high, low etc. Overall, no this is not really possible.
