Third Party Sales Orders

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am new to SAP SD module. Can anyone clarify this.

In the material master sales 2 view, "BANS" is entered in Item gategory field. "NORM" is entered in field Gen. item cat. grp.

I want to know the following?

1) In the sales order the item category will be "TAS". How will this be coming in the sales order line item?

2) How will system create a Purchase Requisiton automatically? What & where are the settings for this is there in configuration?

Thanks in advance,

Murthy

Hi,

Depending on the item category group that you apply and the sales document type you are processing, the system automatically proposes an item category in the document.

Go to T.code VOV4 you will see the item category assignment.

Item Category is determined by Sales Doc Type + Item Category Group + Usage + Higher Level Item ctegory.

In third party the OR + BANS = TAS

Go to Tcode VOV6 & click on the schedule line category CS.

You will find the order type(purchasing) as NB (Purch.requis. Stand.) Item category(Item Category in Purchasing Document) as "5" .

It is for this reson the purchase requisition is automatically determined.

Hi

Item category determination is done thro

sales document typeitem category group in the sales org 2 data of MMRitem category of higher level item +usage

In VOV4 we maintain item category determination as Sales document type OR +item category group BANS We maintain default item category as TAS

This is hoe for a third party order TAS is getting determined in sales order

You need not worry about item category of higher level item and usage in third party processes

You need not worry about general item category group also if the other item category group if maintained in MMR as from SD point of view this only plays a key role not general

Thiird party schedule line has some specific settings

Order type as NB the purchase order type to be triggered upon saving the sales order

Item category as 5 that is third party

Account assignment category as X

Plus the in VOV7 automatic PO should be ticked for TAS

Hi,

1). The Item category in sales order is determined by "item category determination" in VOV4 as Below.

Sales doc type + Item category group + Usage + Higher level item cat. + default item cat.

OR + BANS + blank + blank + TAS.

2). The purchase requisition is created due to the settings in schedule line category CS which is determined by Item category TAS.

The settings in CS are:

Order type - NB

Item category - 5 (third party).

I hope this clears your doubt.

Regards,

Abhee.
