Sales Order - Reasons for material Nr and item category being disabled

[former_member206632]

Hello,

In some of our sales orders items (without subsequent documents), SAP disables fields Material Nr and Item Category. Can you please help on the reasons for this? Please note that we do not use configurable materials.

Regards,

Hi,

The material number will always comes greyed out in standard SAP. You cannot change the material number. If you want to change it, you have to delete the line as a whole and then introduce a new line with new material.

For the item category field, it is either greyed out or available for editing based on the configuration done in the tcode VOV4. For the sales order type, item category group etc.....if you maintain only one item category as the default IC, then this field will be greyed out after populating the default I.C. If there are alternate I.Cs maintained here, then this field is available for editing. Please check this once.
