Question:
Hello Experts,
I just done a idoc test in my system. And find that when the inbound DESADV idoc created, if no errors, it will change the PO confirmation data and add a line about ship notification. But the inbound idoc will be ok only when the material Item category group is not an third-party material [BANS].
If the material is a third-party one, the inbound DESADV IDOC will error with below message:
No item category exists (Table T184L EL BANS V )
Enter a material or an item category
Not possible to generate any inbound deliveries.
and in the partner profile, I had set the inbound process code as: DESA. and for confirmation, I set the control key not create inbound delivery.
how can i solve the idoc error? and another question is that: all the desadv inbound idoc will create the inbound delivery?
Thanks in advance.
Answer:
Two questions here !
Normally, BANS is for direct shipment from your vendor to your customer.
In this scenario, there is no inbound delivery (nor outbound), so it the error is normal.
The control to create (or not) an inbound delivery is in the confirmation key profile.

thanks for your reply.
as you mean, I set the comfirmation key not create inbound delivery, but the idoc still error. why?
second, could you advise me how to correct it? thanks very much.
Answer:
DESADV is trying to create a LA confirmation, meaning a date where you can expect to receive the goods at your place.
But with this process (drop shipment, TAS item category in SD), there is no GR/GI. There is an error as your supplier tells you that you will receive something that you should'nt receive.
That's for the SAP standard behaviour. There may be a way to change the customizing to enable it.
For your reference, in case of TAS scenario we are using the DESADV data to do the invoice verification.
