Item Category MII vs SAP OBD packing/posting

[Former Member]

We have a PACR with an item cat of ZEIH with When posting good issue through MII it assigns a "PO" in the item cat in the outbound delivery. When manually packed in SAP it assigns "ZPO". The ZPO is the correct flow to not send the packaging in the ASN to the customer. What would cause the shift in item cat when posting through MII? I do not see anything in the IDOC that would drive the change.

Hi Brian,

How are you posting the GI from MII? What are the other settings for doing so? What do you mean by IDoc? Are you not using a BAPI/RFC? If BAPI/RFC, it is customized or the standard? And what is the name of the BAPI/RFC? When doing the SAP posting, what t-code are you using? What does the third column (1 for MII and 7 for ECC) represent? Please retrieve through MII, the material documents for each posting and compare the results. Differences between the two might become obvious.

Can you use SE37 or BAPI to replicate what you are doing from MII to see if the setting are the same (i.e. Do you need to add in leading zeroes for any of the field values?).

What version of MII? Is your ERP an S4/HANA or regular ECC system? Are you using ME or OEE with your MII installation?

The more information you provide, the easier it becomes to analyze your issue. It is also much more likely to get a response from those who might recognize your situation.

Generally speaking MII implementations are bespoke so configuration or logic changes in ERP may require some development or configuration changes in MII. Also note that a lot of logic/user exits and enhancements may not be hit when using interfaces like Idocs/RFC/BAPI vs Sap GUI and visa versa. You are probably going to need some hands on help on the MII side to resolve your issue.

I have to agree with Christian. There are a lot of unanswered questions in your responses which require some MII and some ECC permissions to get answered. Even if you were to get permissions, it would be helpful to have an MII savvy person involved.

If there are custom BAPIs, you need to do a JCOReset in Netweaver so the changes propagate from ECC to MII. If changes are ongoing, then every time a change is made, paste this into your browser window (can do it every day without harm if it is unknown when changes are made).

If you are using internal MII resources (or even if external), then I would ask that you push them to review this Question. There is currently insufficient detail to help you out.

Morning Mike, thank you for responding. I can answer a couple of your questions, but I will have to reach out to CC team to get the rest.

What are the other settings for doing so? We are using production labels to scan through SHP_G pokeyoke

What do you mean by IDoc? IDOC is file from MII to SAP

Are you not using a BAPI/RFC? yes

If BAPI/RFC, it is customized or the standard? knowing my company Customized

And what is the name of the BAPI/RFC? unsure

When doing the SAP posting, what t-code are you using? VL02n

What does the third column (1 for MII and 7 for ECC) represent? number of containers

Please retrieve through MII, the material documents for each posting and compare the results. Differences between the two might become obvious.

What version of MII? SP20 +

Is your ERP an S4/HANA or regular ECC system? regular

Are you using ME or OEE with your MII installation? not for this process
