Yes i agree with you.

However you can use the seperate Doc type for Service only rt?? if the proceurement for the services are high compare to the others.

If you wnat to Use item Cat as D as service then create the PO with the help of STD PO doc type.or create the new doc type for only Services and allow the item cat as D only n SPRO >PO>doc setting.

Of course , When you use the T Code:ME27 is meant to be for create STO only, in that screen u cant be able to choose/select any other item cat then only for "U"

While Creating you need to select the the doc type as UB(std SAP Doc Type) for STO.

If this is not clear to you.

Then, u need to explain me in brief that what do u want to achieve.

hi

Could you please tell which t-code you are using???

IF you going throught ME21n and selecting document type as STOCK TRANSFER ORDER and the ITEM CATEGORY FIELD is not allowing you to make any changes means you might have done setting as DISPLAY

IMG - MM - Purchasing -- purchasing documents -- define screen layout at document level

here select your document type

and then slect basic data, item

here make Item category as OPTIONAL ENTRY and then try

Also check setting at document level

IMG - MM - Purchasing -- purchasing documents -- Define document type

select UB and click on allowed ITEM CATEGORY and check whether u ahve maintained or not

u r using stock transport order type,then why r u trying to use anyother item category???????its beyond logic i think so since if u want to use D,then go for a normal service PO.

If u have maintained all this setting then as soon as u enter org data and material ITEM CATEGORY will come automatically means maintained item category

i dont think service can be done for a document type.STO means a document type which u can only use for stock transport order.To make it unique the item category is used as U.If u see thru spro the item category U and D completely differently defined.Whenever u will be using D,the document will be known as a service po and not sto service po.

please correct me if i am wrong.
