Assigning the Item category to Feeder system in GTS for Purchasing

[former_member218118]

Hi,

When configuring for GTS Letter of Credit, one of the steps mentioned is assigning item categories to feeder system for both import and export.

Both GTM and GTS are being implemented here.

The item category for the GTM purchase side trading contract references the standard item category for purchase order. This is denoted by a blank field.

When trying to assign the item category in GTS, I have to enter the value for the item category in the feeder system. This is a mandatory field.

I either have to change this to an optional field or create a new item category for GTM.

Can some one please advise as to what is the proper course to be adopted here?

Hi Mr. Sreedhar,

The mapping needs the "technical" value, not the displayed value.  For the standard P.O. Item Category, use the value '0' (zero).  FYI, you should be able to see the various "technical" values if you use the Search Help for the field when displaying a P.O. item from table EKPO using Transaction SE16.

Hope that helps,

Dave
