Hi Sunil,

1.You create service material with DIEN itemcategory group in MM01 transaction.

You put procurement type as both procurements in MRP2 view.

Maintain cost of the material at in the accounting 1 view.

Main tain VPRS condition type in the pricing procedure.

2.You are telling that, service amterial should not come in the billing document as item, for this you create new copying routine in VOFM, you assign to your billing documents and delivery documents at item level in the transaction VTFL.

3.You are telling that some times you sourced third party for this you can control through itemcategory determination in the transaction VOV4.

Here you assign third party item category (TAS)in Mltca column,when you create sales order normally Stadard Itemcategory(TAN) will come but when create sales order for third party services enter TAS item category based on that Purchage requesition will be created,then purchase order with reference to Purchage requesition.

I hope it will help you

Thanks,

Murali.

Hello Friend,

Thanks for your reply I have done all this already but my only query was how to transfer the cost of the service materials to the header or deliverable material without including these items in the billing.

Hello dear friend,

You try with the copying routine itself is there any posibility avail to copy only price (cost of the product) without copying the item to the invoice from the delivery.
