How to link item category to plant during sales order-entry

[robbert_vansprang]

SD Specialists,

In the sales view, my company has maintained default item category group NORM, with default plant A.

During sales order-entry, this triggers item category type TAN.

But the material can also be delivered from plant B, in which case the item category type needs to become ZTAN.

My users are now manually changing this, but often forget about it.

How can I tell the system that if plant is B, then item category type must be ZTAN instead of TAN?

Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you and regards,

Robbert

I dont think this can be achieved through standard configuration changes. You have to try with any of the following sale order exits.

1) User exits in the program MV45AFZZ - USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_VBAP

2) User-Exits in program MV45AFZB - USEREXIT_CHECK_VBAP

thanks
