Item category Determination in Vehicle Orders

Former Member

Hi All,

I encountered the following 2 cases in our System.

1. A vehicle Sales order is created with Order type S1  is created with reference to DBM Quotation of order type Q1 which contains a Model as item with item category P803. When vehicle is assigned to the sale sorder,item category is changed to P005. Now for this order with item of item category P005,though goods movement and Create billing actions are done, in the vehicle history action QGIS is not getting updated. Because of which we are facing the following issues.

- Sales order is not getting closed as the field CLOSED is not getting set to X in table /DBM/VBAK_DB.

-.Secondary status of vehicle is updated as QS5X(Outgoing Invoice created) instead of QS60(Sles order completed)

2. 1. A vehicle Sales order is created with Order type S2  is created with reference to DBM Quotation of order type Q2 which contains a Model as item with item category P803. When vehicle is assigned to this sale sorder,item category is changed to P003. Now for this order with item of item category P003,when goods movement and Create billing actions are done, in the vehicle history action QGIS is getting updated. Sales order is completed and Secondary status of vehicle is set to QS60.


Based on above information,can you please let me know what all should I check to understand why QGIS action is not getting executed and why item category P005 is determined after vehicle assignment and all the relevant Customizing settings to be checked to understand root cause of the issue.

Manasa

hi,

Behavior of SAP is as per standard since history is update for item category related to vehicle, i.e after posting goods issues for P003 ...DBM customization determines the interlinking action for VMS and update the status and  history of Vehicle. ...

So just remember that vehicle history is update by VMS actions only not by any DBM Order event..to link this you have to execute VMS actions at the end of DBM order events .This customisation you can find in /DBM/SPRO->ORDER->Order Control->Order Control VMS Extensions->Define VMS Action Control from Order Action

With regard to your issue, do not use 1 st scenario as this will create issues in reporting, and status of vehicle.  To check the issue compare copy order settings for both scenarios in

/DBM/SPRO->ORDER->Copying of Orders->Define Copying Control for Order Type

Hi,

please check action determination for linkage of DBM action to VMS action via DBM customizing.

Hi Ganesh,

Thanks fr your response. But I am still not clear on how for 1st scenario item category is changed to P005. And what is wrong with item category P005  For past 1 week, I am struggling to find the root cause of this. I already checked copy control for order type. And the settings maintained in VMS action control are not based on Item category. Should I check any usage criteria tables?

Also for some vehicles,after sales orders are billed,secondary status is not getting updated to QS60(Sales order completed) though billing is done. Vehicle order is also not getting closed as field /DBM/VBAK_DB-CLOSED is not getting set to X.

Though goods movement is done,Action QGIS is not updated in Vehicle master.Secondary status is getting updated as QS5X from QS40 instead of QS60. This is happening when any accessory item is added in vehicle order with item category as P005.

If accessory is added with item category P051, action QGIS(Create Goods Issue (DBM)) is getting updated in Vehicle history of Vehicle master and thus status is getting changed as QS60.

Please let me know how Item category of Vehicles or accessories determine actions executed on performing Create Billing event in DBM.

Hi Manasa,

Below are the two possibilities for getting P005 determined


1. /DBM/SPRO->ORDER->Copying of Items->Define Criteria

2. You have maintained exit code here and in BAID implementation p005 is determined
