Additional Transaction Category for sales transaction type

[Former Member]

Hi Friends,

Can you please let me know why we assign additional transaction category business activity for sales order or quotation transaction types.

For Activities & Tasks there is only one transaction category assigned where as for sales why do we assighn two transaction categories?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Kindly find the explanation here:

In fact, you need to assign multiple transaction categories fro the same reason that you assign multiple roles to a business partners: to get more functionalities...

Example: in your sales order you may want to be able to store "contact" information like "direction", "medium", etc. For this, assign transaction category "Activity" to your sales order, and a new tab will appear in tcode CRMD_ORDER where you can fill in those fields...

Regards,

Nicolas.
