Item category Proposal

[Former Member]

Hello everyone

I'm trying to configure the copy control from an Invoice to a Sales Order Acknowledgement for a certain item category

Target Order Type ZRE from Invoice Type ZF2

Target Item Category ZRSI from item category ZKMI

example Item Category Group NORM

all document types (ZRE and ZF2) and Item Categories (ZRSI and ZKMI) are already configured and in use

I'm just trying to configure new copy control - but i've missed something somewhere

I've gone to VOV4 and have the following entry

SaTy     ItCGr     Usg.     HLevItCa     DfItC

ZRE     NORM               ZKMI          ZRSI

I have also gone to VTAF - Bill doc. to order copy control

and have the following entry

target doc ZRE source ZF2

under the Item folder I move down to teh ZKMI item Category

and have have the following configured

Target SalesDocTyp     ZRE                                       Source Bill. Type         ZF2

ItemCat Proposal          ZRSI                                      Item Category             ZKMI

I wasn't sure if i needed both sections configured from what I was reading but I went a head and configured both

But when I create a ZRE order type with Reference to a ZF2 billing document (the billing document has a line item with item category ZKMI)

the ZRE document defaults to a different item category ZRAQ

what am I missing?

Hi,

I see only one difference which is  in VOV4

May I know the reason of Higher Level Item category Input in VOV4 for item category determination ?

please make an entry as

Sales order type = ZRE

Item category Group = NORM

Usage = Blank

Higher level item cat = Blank

Default item category = ZRSI

I preassume this configuration will work

try and revert

I couldn't configure as you suggested

There is already a line but instead of Default item Category being = ZRSI it is ZRAQ

which is were I was guessing the system was pulling the ZRAQ category

however after you suggested removing the Higher level Item Category I deleted my previous

config and added ZRSI to one of the Manual Item Category columns after ZRAQ

Than ran another test I think that fixed it

It looks like the config in VTAF is set up to pull one of the item categories available in VOV4

does that sound correct?

I will configure the rest of the Item Category Groups and retest then post if that

has solved my problem

thank you for your help

That look like it fixed my issue (or at least this piece of the puzzle)
