Item Cetgory configuration

[Former Member]

I have a small problem i.e., in Item Category Configuration the fields for Revenue recongintion & Delimit Start date are already configured and are now grayed out. I am unable to change the option.

Could any one tell me from can we control these fields so that we can configure the fields as we want.

Hi,

The Revenue Recognition fields cannot be directly changed but it is possible... please follow the steps given below: (If you want to create the new item category with different Revenue Recognition data)

1) For creating New item category - Copy from the old item category.

2) Revenue recognition field are grayed out - go to revnue recognition assignment and search for the item category which is having similar data of revenue recognition as u want. copy this into new item category which you created.

3) But you will see that in new item category - the Transaction flow data will becomes blank - so now you assigned this transactional flow data manually.

So the actual Item category assignment which was copied from old one will remain same and the new item category will also have the revnue recognition fields as per requirement.

Others: please look this solution and give suggestions.

Hi,

note 00820417 describes the process you've the trigger when you want to the Rev. Rec. functionality as this feature needs be get released separately per customer.

By releasing the SD Revenue Recognition function separately, SAP wants to

ensure that customers who intend to use this function are aware of and

agree to the necessary determining factors and prerequisites. The so called 'assessment process' is a free-of-charges services and has helped many customers have smooth start with the Rev. Rec. functionality.

i wonder what makes it greyed out

Hi,

From what I know, there are OSS notes to allow revenue recognition set-up in SD Module. From there, the reason supplied was that the "Use of the R/3 SD Revenue Recognition function is <b>subject to a special release restriction</b> (see also Notes 779366 and 605665)."

Here are some list of OSS notes relevant for revenue recognition set-up:

00779366: Revenue Recognition in the SD Module

00820417: Implementation Guide for Revenue Recognition

00782758: Prerequisites for using the Revenue Recognition functionality

Hope this helps!

Hi Venkat/Olyn,

As Arijeet pointed out. The fields are grayed out even in the Revenue Recongnition for Item Categories. Could you guys tell me is there any other way to Edit these fields other than creating a New Item category.

Thanks

hi ,

if u create a new item category , in that also the revenue recognization (RR) fields are in grey mode.

for the RR fileds to get activated in item category , we need to apply a patch , i suggest you to go through the notes for RR.
