Manual item category gets overridden by default item category

[Former Member]

When I enter a manual item category for a material in a sales order, it gets overwritten by the default item category maintained in VOV4 (maintained for the order type and item category group. This is in ECC6. It is working in 4.7 though. How do we permit the manuaul item category to be entered and not get overwritten by default item category?

Hi,

You have not mentioned in VOV4, manual item category has been maintained or not. Can you check the values are maintained in those column?

Also in the debug mode, you can check whether any user exit is restricting this.

Manual item categories are maintained in VOV4. Thanks for looking into it.

Hi,

I apologize; I just found an OSS 1459251 - Error in VA01: Sales item category overwritten.

Per this note, you need to apply note 1398834.
