Dear all,

Plz do the needful at the earliest.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. But the problem was not yet solved. I checked the customizing settings. All are fine. Anything else is there in SPRO apart from this?

Hi Mohan

In SAP for each PO dcument type linked with Some allowable Item Category.

Suppose your Item category is not linked with PO document type then it wont allow to create PO

Plase check in Path

SPROMatl Mgnt PurchasingPur.Order-Define Document type-- Allowable Item Category

Hi

Chandramohan

You can do this in IMGMM-PURPO and Define Doc types and select the required Doc type and Select the Allowed Item Category. In this way you can allow the item category to the respective Document type.

The item category determines the field selection and whether any additional data screens are shown.

In addition, it determines whether a goods receipt or invoice receipt is to follow.

The following list contains the item categories defined in the standard SAP R/3 System:

Standard,Consignment,Subcontracting,Third-party,Stock transfer,Service,Material unknown and Material group

If helpful reward the points..

Hi,

Perform this procedure when an item is known to be on a Contract (Outline Agreement in SAP).

Not for fresh item for which source is unknown
