Set as default value the Item Category in the Maintenance Order

Former Member

Hello everyone,

We are trying to find a user exit in order to set as default value the item category in the Maintenance Order once the Material has been introduced (Tag Components).

SAP Customizing let the user set the Item Category automatically per Material Type, but we need to set different Item Categories to materials belonging to the same material type.

We would really appreciate any help relating this issue.

Thank you very much,

Víctor Liedo

Hi,

Customizing mentioned above may help you, I don't think there is a suitable exit to set a default value. You could add some custom validation through user exit to check if the entered item category is valid:

CNEX0037 Check a freshly created component

CNEX0038 Check a changed component

Thank you very much, the problem is solved.

CNEX0013 is the one I was looking for.

Dear Paul,

Thank you very much for your response.

I had already tried customizing mentioned by Pithan, but it did not work because we need to set different Item Categories for Materials with same Material Type.

We have been searching for exits which may let us set Item Category in the Maintenance Order, but it does not seem to be possible.

What you say about adding some custom validation through user exit, not to set item category as default value, but to check if the one entered is valid, sounds the best way of achieving our commitments.

I have tried to look for CNEX0037 & CNEX0038, by using transactions SE37 and SE38, search for programs and functions modules, but it did not work. Could you please tell us what kind of objects are?

Thank you very much in advance.

[CNEX0013|] (default item category assignment) is the correct user-exit.
