Item Category Determination - Error

Former Member

I have assigned the Item category determination in VOV4 for each sales doc type

OR - NORM - TANN-TAN.

now, when i create a sales order, i get an error, 'item category is not defined '

I went back to VOV4 and removed the TANN(higher level Item Category).

Now I re-checked the order and the error disappeared.

My Issue is resolved, but I am not sure why does the Higher level item category should be removed for the item category determination? Where as the Item Category determination rule says it is a combination of order type,item category grouphigher level item categoryitem usage+default item category.

Can anyone explain this please?

Thanks,

Arthy

E.g. Computer - Main item || in configuration you gave TANN

Keyboard, mouse, power chord - sub items || in configuration you gave TAN

In your sales order you had a main item, but you wanted to give it TAN. System did not accept that, as you had given main item = TANN.

Once you deleted Higher item category, you did the following change -

E.g. Computer - Main item || in configuration you gave TAN

NO sub items

Thus now what you wanted in your sales order was aligned to what you configured in VOV4. thus it was accepted by the system.

Hi Arthy

I would like to tell you to search forum or google before posting questions.

This has been discussed many times.

Higher level item category would be helpful when you have sub items for a main item.

Eg In free goods we have main item and sub item.

OR-NORM-TAN-TANN

Here the main item will have item category as TAN and the free goods item or sub item will have TANN.

So the sub items item category will depend on the higher level item category.

Hope you understood.
