Configuring Delivery Item Categories (SAP Library - Basic Functions and Master Data in SD Processing (SD-BF))

Configuring Delivery Item Categories

Prerequisite

Review the standard delivery item categories for product selection. If you decide that these do not meet your business requirements, for example if you want to remove schedule lines with a zero quantity (i.e. substitutes that were not selected), create new delivery item categories for the main and sub-items.

Procedures

We recommend that you copy, then change the standard item categories instead of creating them from scratch. To copy categories, perform the Customizing activity Logistics Execution ® Shipping ® Deliveries ® Define item categories for deliveries (transaction OVLP).

To copy the main item category:

Select the entry TAX and choose Copy. Overwrite the key and description with your delivery item category.
Be sure to leave the availability check off field (AvailCkOff) blank so that the main item is not checked when items are copied to the delivery.
If you are using batch-managed materials, select the No batch check indicator so that the main item is not processed in the delivery for batch assignment.
Make any additional changes and save.

To copy the sub-item category:

Select the entry TAPS and choose Copy. Overwrite the key and description with your delivery item category.
Be sure to leave the availability check off field (AvailCkOff) blank so that the sub-item is checked.
Make any additional changes and save.

Note

If a new product selection is carried out in the delivery, the system may copy zero quantity line items into the delivery (due to rejection of a substitute). To prevent zero line items from being copied, enter B in the Check quantity 0 field.
