Item category Determination

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

I am having issue related to Item category determination. Your inputs will be greatly appreciated.

1. We have a service order in which Item category is determining correctly. Let’s assume Material as “A” (Material type DIEN, Service,
   Freight , etc..) and item category ZITC
   is determined correctly.
2. Let’s assume sales order type as ZSOR
3. Now I would like to add another line item as miscellaneous
   charges for the same order and we have a material created for that purpose Let’s
   assume miscellaneous material as “B”
   (Material type DIEN, Service,
   Freight, etc..)
4. Both the materials “A” & “B” have Item category Group as “LEIS” (Service w/o Delivery), in material master Sales org 2 view.
5. In VOV4 we have config maintained as

         Sa Ty  | ItCGr | Usg | HLevItCa |DfItC

          ZSOR | LEIS |            |                 |ZITC

          ZSOR | LEIS | TEXT|                   | ZITC

But when I add material “B” (miscellaneous charges)as a line item, I get the below error and item category is not determined.

No item category
available (Table T184 ZITC TEXT )

Message no. V1320

Thanks in advance

Dear Raj,

If Material B is not related to material A, then in VOV4

ZSOR | LEIS |            |                 |ZITC

is enough.

In case, if you are adding miscellaneous charges "b" adding to material A in pricing.

Then make the Material A item category as "ERLA"

ZSOR | ERLA |    ....  |     | ZITC

ZSOR | LEIS   |    ....  |ZITC | ZITC or you can change the item category.

Regards,

Mani

Hi Ramana

Put a breakpoint in this function module at this select.

RV_VBAP_PSTYV_DETERMINE

...

SELECT SINGLE * FROM T184
                 WHERE AUART = T184_AUART
                 AND   MTPOS = T184_MTPOS
                 AND   VWPOS = T184_VWPOS
                 AND   UEPST = T184_UEPST.

IF SY-SUBRC NE 0.

When the sy-subrc is not '0' it failed to find an entry. Then you can see what it was looking for
and know the entry you need to maintain in T184 to pick up an item category and avoid the error

Hope this helps you further
Kind regards

Hi Raj,

Delete the Usage - text in customizing and also check the item category group in Material Master for material B in Sales: Sales Org 2 tab .

Create the order and it will work fine.

Thats the only way Item Usage can be used.

Hi Ramana,

Generally, the item usage is a field managed from customer material information record. The item category determination proposal is based on the usage value maintained in this field in customer material information record.

If you maintain the usage TEXT in your case in the customer material information record, then it will work fine without any issue.

Hi Raj,

Check the item category group field in the material master record (Sales: sales org 2 view) for material B, as this is  the main indicator to determine the item catg in the sales order.
