Item Category Determination- Usage

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am looking into my system configuration for item category determination.

I know that Item category is determined based on

1. Sales document type

2. Item category group

3. Usage and

4. Higher level item cat group

Here, I came to know that Usage is determined from Customer material info record. But in my system, I see a Line item with out usage maintained in CMIR but detemined the item category relevant for usage.

Any of you guys have a thought on this?

Thank you

In Configuration, the combination must have been maintained such that same item category is determined with or without usage maintained.

Yeah, It is supposed to be like that Rajesh. But, item category detemination is different than the configuration and no CMIR maintained.

Is it possible through User exits or Custom programs?

Hi,

Check whether user exit form USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_VBAP is used to populate the data in include MV45AFZZ.

Item Usage is not a mandatory field in CMIR (T.Code: VD51). Hence the same can be left blank and item category will be determined accordingly.

From configuration point of view, I was refering to as under:

Sales Order Type | Item Category Group | Usage | H.L. Item cate | Default Item Category

OR | NORM | blank | blank | TAN

OR | NORM | blank | TAP | TAN

OR | NORM | APO0 | TAPA | TAN

By the way, Material is APO material and sales order is created through IDOC.

Thank you
