REG: Item category Tann

[Former Member]

hi gurus,

if suppose we r selling a material as a sample , some times with sales material , or directly as a Samples alone ,the system should directly determine the item category TANN .

how should i go about it.

i dont have to change my order type also , so want to determine it in the same transaction.

Hi,

For your scenario, use sales document type as 'FD'. when you will use this document type in VA01 then the system will take the item category as 'KLN' which is not relevant for pricing. You can use this document type when youe are doing the sample sale. Basically before starting the business with the customer sample is given to him/her for gaining confidence.

Reward points if solution helps.

Hello Sunil,

Whenever a sales order for samples is created the document type is FD and the item category is automatically gets determined as KLN.

Also, TANN gets determined when the higher level item category is TAN i.e. we are giving some free material along with the main material.

If you want to achieve this functionality with order type OR then in transaction VOV4, assign item category KLN as manual item category to the combination order type(OR), item category group(NORM) and default item category(TAN). After this whenever you create a sales order you can manually change the item category from TAN to KLN in the order type OR. Here, the item category group remains NORM.

Also, if you want this change to be automatic then create a new item category group and in VOV4 transaction create an entry with combination order type(OR), new item category group and default item category(KLN). Also for the sample material, you need to assign this item category group to the material master.

Reward points if helpful.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

You can do like this:

Create a new item category group for these materials and assign for your order type this item Cat. Gr. ant item category TANN.

Every time U complete those materials the item category will be TANN in sales doc.

Hope helps!

hi Sunil,

TANN is always used only as subitem when main item is TAN , this is normally used for free goods where higher level item category is TAN.

where as for samples we use KLN item category with document type FDor CD.

this is used only for delivery and not for billing, if u need u can generate a proforma invoice.Always try to maintain a delivery block for the document type to avoid misuse of the operation.

hi

for samples you have to create separate sales document type FREE OF charge or u can use CD doc type which is standard

where the item category will be KLN which is not relevant for pricing
