COPA:Item Category is not flowing to COPA from billing documnet without sales order

[former_member442575]

Hello SAP Experts,

I have one Scenario. I have some billing documents which has been created without sales order but from purchase order. This is Inter Company sales .One Company raising purchase order on anathor company. Then on that PO Basis we made delivery and billing document for sales which flows to COPA correctly. Item category has been maintined in the line item of billing document and which is visible but it is not flowing in copa.  But in normal billing process the item Category which is maintained in the sales order line item is flowing to COPA.

Please advice  why is this difference, What I need to do so that it can flow to COPA (without KEDR) .

Thanks in advance.

Hi CB

I think in the normal course, your Sales order supplies the Item Catg to COPA. In the standard system. you cant derive anything from the Billing doc, because that's a limitation

You can try by maintaining an entry in the Table TKEZU (SM30)

Char = PSTYV

BTran=KEDR

Table name = VBAP

Field Name = PSTYV

Hi chhandak,

System will check all the characterictics from sales orders first and then from billing document. Since your case you are creating a STO order from PO there might be chances of all the characteristics not derived. So, as suggested you should go with KEDR and derive the characteristics.

Just one more try if STO is there w/o SD Billing:

- In KE4i, there is a second option, that is assigning MM Condition Types. Assign that Cond. Type to a Value Field and see what characteristics are derived.

Hi Chhdak,

First check whether assignment is maintained in KE4I or not maintain the same also create derivation rule under KEDR if it not flows even if not flowing after maintaining the KE4I

Check whether assignment of intercompany condition type in trx KE4I exists.

[former_member442575]

Yes Intercompany billig condition has been mapped in KE4I. For your Information all other characteristics are flowing to copa  like normal billing except this Item category.

Chhandak,

My suggestion is go to KEDR and make a test (F8) of the record you are creating with the same data. It will tell you whether a characteristic value is derived or not, after pressing "Derivation" button. Check the Item Category char. and analyze the derivation.

Chhandak,

Is the Item category a characteristic in COPA? Then you have to check whether a KEDR derivation rule is maintained already for it or not. If not you need to maintain KEDR for it....

Hello Dave,

Thanks for the reply. Yes Item category has been maintained in COPA as  characteristic . Name of it  is PSTYV which is from origin table VBAP. Now question is normal billing document Item category flows to COPA without any KEDR Rule then why I need KEDR rule for Intercompany Billing . Also both Normal and Intercompany billing record type is F. Am I missing any other Settings ?
