  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VG010 - Int.doc.item category & is incorrect (item &) ?

    The SAP error message:

    VG010 Int.doc.item category & is incorrect (item &)

    typically occurs in the context of consignment processing or inventory management when there is an inconsistency or incorrect assignment of the item category in the internal document (such as a goods movement or delivery document).


    Cause

    • The item category assigned to the internal document item is not valid or does not correspond to the expected item category for the transaction.
    • This can happen if the item category is manually changed or incorrectly determined by the system during document creation.
    • It may also occur if the item category is not maintained properly in the customizing settings for the relevant movement type or sales document type.
    • Sometimes, the error arises when the system expects a specific item category for consignment or stock transfer items, but finds a different or missing category.

    Solution

    1. Check Item Category Configuration:

      • Go to SPRO ? Materials Management ? Inventory Management and Physical Inventory ? Movement Types ? Assign Item Categories to Movement Types.
      • Verify that the item category assigned to the movement type or document type is correct and consistent with the business process.
    2. Review Document Item Data:

      • Check the internal document (e.g., material document, delivery document) and verify the item category assigned to the item.
      • If the item category is incorrect, correct it manually if possible or recreate the document with the correct item category.
    3. Check Consignment or Special Stock Settings:

      • If the transaction involves consignment stock, ensure that the item category is appropriate for consignment processing.
      • Verify the special stock indicator and item category assignment in the material master and document.
    4. Debug or Analyze the Process:

      • If the error occurs during a custom process or user exit, debug the code to see why the item category is set incorrectly.
      • Check if any user-exits or BAdIs are modifying the item category.
    5. Recreate the Document:

      • Sometimes, deleting and recreating the document with correct parameters resolves the issue.
