Defaulting Item category in Equp BOM

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

I have a problem at the time of creating Equipment BOM, i am mentioning all the details in Header data and while entering the material numbers, it is asking to enter the item category.

In our scenario item category for all engg materials is L only. I want to default that field with L. I searched in IMG, but could not get it.

Anybody can guide me to solve this problem??

Thanks and Regards,

B. Praveen

hi

i think you can make using IMG settings under bill of material ,or use T code OICA and maintain Make User-Specific Settings

You can specify the following default values:

item increment

item category for the "New Materials Items" screen

item category for the "New Document Items" screen

item category for the "New Class Item" screen

material provision indicator

PM assembly (maintenance BOMs)

dialog print options (BOM evaluations)

Recommendation

You should maintain the following values:

item category for the "New Material Items" screen

item category for the "New Document Items" screen

You can define default values which are valid for all users by making entries for a user 'DUMMY'

Hi,

Use TCode SPRO>PLANT MAINTENANCE->MAINTENANCE PROCESSING>MAINTENANCE SERVICE ORDER>GENERAL DATA--->DEFINE DEFAULT VALUES FOR ITEM CATEGORIES.

PUT UR PLANT AND MAINTAIN DEFAULT ITEM CATEGORY "L"
