item category not defined

[Former Member]

Hi gurus,

My client need help to ship some parts.

He creates the delivery (VL01N)

And when we enter the batch we have an error message appearing : Item category is not defiened.

I check in the sales order and everything is ok (item category ZXXX for free charge). In the maeterial master the item category group is NORM.

Do you have any suggestions of issues which can cause such an error.

Please advice

Regards

Hi patrick

check the item category assignment in VOV4 , and the item category details for that item category.

as the material qty is not coming in delivery, check the delivery item categories in 0vlp

it should solve the problem

OK the problem:

There is a standard order of 14 unit, in a make to stock envrionment.

there is only one schedule item in the sales order with item category ZXXX (free of charge)

This is a normal order processing not a return.

the SD people made a split batch. they succeed with one batch number to deliver 4 and they want by using the same batch number to deliver another 4 unit.
