Cash Sales: How Delivery Item Category is determined.

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have configured Cash Sales Business process. As we know in the background system has created delivery (based on settings in sales document type).

For Standard delivery type (LF) to we assign Item category (TAN) to determine in the delivery document.

But in the Cash Sales We do do not assign the Item Category (BVN) to Delivery Type (BV). When you save the Cash sale order in the back ground system creates the delivery document with BVN Item Category.

Do you have any Idea? How System is determining the Item Category (BVN) in delivery document?

Thanks & Regards

Hi Ugameshk

I would like to through some light on Item category determination in Delivery.

If a Delivery item has an order reference then the "Order Item category" is just copied as "Delivery Item category" and no determination is required.

That means, if the Delivery is created with reference to a Sales order, then the Order Item categories are copied to the Delivery Item as Delivery Item category (TAN is copied as TAN to delivery item).

Only for Order independent Items (items featuring in Delivery with out any order), Item category is determined in Delivery as there is no reference to be copied from.

Now,coming to the example of order independent items :

i. All items in Delivery Type LO, which is create with out a Sales order reference.

ii. All items in Inbound delivery EL for a Purchase order.

iii. Any item added manually directly in Delivery document even in standard outbound delivery type LF.

iv. Packaging materials

The above arefew examples of Order in-dependent Items. For them , there is no order item for reference.

So, the Item category for those types of Item are determined during Delivery taking the four fields into consideration.

The four fields are

Delivery Type + Item category group + Item usage (in some cases) + Item cat of higher level item (if exists) -

---

>>>> Delivery Item category.

Examples

For packaging materia in standardl:

LF + VERP + PACK + (blank) -

---

>>>> DLN

LF + LEIH + PACK + (blank) -

---

>>>> TAL

For item in Inbound delivery EL for a Purchase order:

EL + NORM + V + (blank) -

---

>>>> ELN

For normal item directly added in delivery:

LF + NORM + (blank) + (blank)------->>>>> DLN

For items in Delivery type LO :

LO + NORM + (blank) + (blank) -

---

>>>> DLN.

Hi,

Firstly the system creates the delivery document because in VOV8 for the document type BV, under shipping tab,immiediate delivery it is 'X'.means Create delivery immediately, if quantity confirmed for today and the relevant delivery type BV is also maintained there.

With respect to delivery item category, it is not determined as senya has commented.If you see in the menu path the delivery type for BV will not be there. It is done through the copy control under the routine 101 in the item level BVN.

Dear

Item category is flowing from sales order as it is been determined at the time of sales order creation.
