Manual Item category determination

[Former Member]

Hi friends ,

I need to do a manual item category determination for the third party item ,as the material is not always a trading item, so the item category group is maintained as NORM in the material master and trying to change the Item category determination via VOV4

As I am looking to have the below combination

(ZZOR + NORM + + = TAN + TAS + TAB) the system triggers error message ...the key already exists but when I checked there was no assignment like this ...even I tried to change the item category manually to TAS in the sales order ....its not accepting.

The only way I could find is just deleting the existing entry ((ZZOR + NORM + + = TAN + TAP + TAQ+TANN) and making the changes as (ZZOR + NORM + + = TAN + TAS + TAB). Now I am able to change the item category to TAS manually in the sales order.

I dont think this as the right option.So pl let me know how cani go with this.

Thanks

Ivy

Hi

As you have said "system triggers error message ...the key already exists but when I checked there was no assignment like this ...even I tried to change the item category manually to TAS in the sales order ....its not accepting"

Check in table T184 for the item category determination for the above combination .

Hi

You are trying to make changes to the assignment related to the BOM.

Please check for this combination - ZZOR + NORM + + = TAN and add TAS in the manual item category field and save it.

Now in the sales order you will be allowed to change the TAN to TAS.

Thanks,
