Hi SRM Gurus
I have a question regarding the SRM product category maintenance.
As I know it is possible to activate/deactivate certain product category for the usage in SRM in transaction COMM_HIERARCHY by setting/unsetting the indicator 'Product/Object Assignment Possible'.
The issue that I have is that within same hierarchy for some of the product categories this indicator is changeable but for some orther product categories it is greyed-out. This in spite of the fact that I am in Change mode and that other fields for same category are changeable.
Does anyone of you have any idea what is the influencing factor for such behaviour and what should I check in addition for problematic product categories to be able to maintain that indicator. Apparently the issue must be specific to the product categories but please correct me if I am wrong.
I appreciate all your hints.
Thanks in advance and best regards.

Hi Miha
Are you trying to change the hierarchy name or product category text?
did you pull from back end or locally created?
clarify?
i think you can not modify here anything once categories are created .
what we can do if we dont require those product category, we need to control via org structure ext attribute deactivate . so that no one create a sc.

Hi Muthu
Actually I do not want to change neither hierarchy and nor product category. All the categories have been pulled from ECC to SRM.
My question purely regards to indicator (flag) 'Product/Object Assignment Possible' which can be found in COMM_HIERARCHY on the tab Category, subframe Basic Data on Category.
As mentioned I can assign/deassign this indicator for some of the categories but not for all of them. I want to understand why it is not changeable for certain categories.
I am aware of option to assign/deassign categories in the Extended Attributes but this is not my main question.
I hope there is still some other hint available.
Kind regards,
Miha
Hi Miha
actually there is a real meaning of this .this flag must be always set for procurement.
if it is local category i beleive i can change it. there are instaces srm category not used for procurement , that time it is active.
i can check it up and let you know in detail
even i could not change that field . i could not remove the tick mark.
COMM_PRAPPLCAT tcode- venture this i dont remeber exactly. if i would remove , i might get uncheck that one. i dont have sandbox now..
