HI,

Please check if you have maintained the item category assignment along with Item category group in VOV4.

go to VOV4 and check the assignment if its maintained without item category group then delete the assignment and again make new entry with item category group. You will get item category group from your Material Master.

Below is the example:

There is one more important thing which you guys missed this time.

While maintaining the material in a plant, we also hv to assign a delivering plant for that material if we want to deliver that material to the customer.

We can check this thing in *MM02 >> sales organistaion 1(tab) >> there we have an option to assign the delivering plant*

So we need to make sure that the plant from which we are actually trying to deliver the material is mentioned in "Delivery Plant" column.

Hi SujanB,

As your question is already answered. An indicator that defines the characteristics of a document item.

For example, the item category controls the type and scope of:

Pricing

Billing

Delivery

Inventory posting

Transfer of requirements

Providing further deatils ;--

01. How item category is determined :--

Depending on the item category group that you apply & the sales doc type you are processing the system automatically proposes an item category in the document.

1.sales document type (source: order type)

2.item category group (source: material master)

3.item category of the higher-level item (source: user defined)

4.item category usage (The usage is defined by SAP and is hard coded in the programs)

SPRO- IMG- SD- Sales- Sales Document- Sales Document Item- Assign Item Category (VOV4)

Pls refer following link for furter details ;--

Welcome to the forum.

Before posting any question, please make a search in the forum to check whether the question has already been answered. This has been discussed many times. Check in VOV4 whether for your sale order type, the item category TAN has been assigned under the tab "DfItC".

thanks
