Task group in Transaction type vs Sales Item type

0 Kudos

Hi Experts,

We have two options to implement task groups either at Header level(Transaction type) or at Line item level(sales item type). We have requirements to have one transaction type and multiple sales item type related to the pos transaction type.

If we create different task groups with different tasks as per the behavior of each sales item type and apply those task groups at sales item type level, would that be feasible? Which task group takes precedence, one at the header level or at the sales item type level, if we keep only one task group at header and different task groups at line item level ?

Have you find any solution?

I'm also facing the issue, Please let me know how do you achieved this.

Thanks,

Prasad

Hi hello_sap ,

Did you check the output data i.e. data sent to BW and ECC after your execution?
I believe you have done all the configuration correct mentioned in your comment as a), b), c).

It is obvious that tasks are executed at header level and whatever you have configured on header level will execute but based on your item level configuration it will get filtered during run time.

Thanks,

Vikrant.

Hi,

Yes definitely you can. As i mentioned earlier transaction type takes precedence at a header level, then comes the sales line item type.

Based on your requirement it is quite evident that you want the transaction(Txn.type 1001)to be eligible for BW supply tasks at a header level and also eligible for aggregation.However at line item levels, some of the sales item type you want to send it to either BW(Z001 and Z003) or ECC(Z001,Z002).Some of the sales item types you want to be eligible for both BW and ECC systems.

Thanks,

Hi Aram,

Thanks for your reply. But this is not working for me. PFB how I am trying to acheive this:-

a) I created a header level task group which contains all the tasks I want to execute

b) I created Item level task group 1 which contains all tasks same as header level task group excluding task for sending data to BW

c) I created Item level task group 2 which contains all tasks same as header level task group excluding task for sending data to ECC

Now, At the transaction type level, I included header task group and at Line item level I included task group 1 and task group 2 related to the sales item type on which i want different levels of tasks to be executed. When i post the transaction, still all my header level tasks are getting executed even when on sales item level I excluded some of the tasks in the task groups.

Is there any other configuration which i am missing which either gives precedence to line item task group or it can only execute tasks in the task group which is included at line item level.

Hi,

Task groups take precedence when it comes to transaction type.For example you have a normal sales transaction type code "1001" and void sales transaction type code "1002" both of which have 2 line items each.Typically the normal sales "1001" will be eligible for all the tasks including one step/two step processing.However when it comes to Void transaction, you wont be able to send it to ECC however you may be sending it to BW for reporting purposes.This is controlled in task group.Also even within normal sales "1001" if you want to restrict certain line item types you can create a separate task group and include or exclude that specific line item type(for example in house Gift Cards) in Tasks to Task Group assignment configuration.

Thanks,

Hi Aram,

Thanks for your response. My requirement is to have only one transaction type and have multiple sales item types with different behavior. eg,

Transaction type 1001 - sale - I include task group z001 to this transaction type which includes all tasks.

Sales item type 1201 - data is not sent to ECC but to BI ( Include task group z002)

sales item type 1301 - data is not sent to BI but to ECC ( include task group z003)

sales item type 1401 - data sent to both BI and ECC (include task group z001)

is this feasible? can task processing be controlled at sales item type level?
