Introduction
An Item category is a logical classification of items that have similar properties. A category set is a distinct group scheme and consists of categories. The flexibility of category sets allows you to report and inquire on items in a way that best suits your needs.
Code for Category Creation
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON;
DECLARE
v_return_status VARCHAR2(1) := NULL;
v_msg_count NUMBER := 0;
v_msg_data VARCHAR2(2000);
v_errorcode VARCHAR2(1000);
v_category_rec INV_ITEM_CATEGORY_PUB.CATEGORY_REC_TYPE;
v_category_id NUMBER;
v_context VARCHAR2 (2);
FUNCTION set_context( i_user_name IN VARCHAR2
,i_resp_name IN VARCHAR2
,i_org_id IN NUMBER)
RETURN VARCHAR2
IS
BEGIN
NULL;
— Inorder to reduce the content of the post I moved the implementation part of this function to another post and it is available here
END set_context;
BEGIN
— Setting the context —-
v_context := set_context (‘&user’, ‘&responsibility’, 2038);
IF v_context = ‘F’
THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line (‘Error while setting the context’);
END IF;
— context done ————
v_category_rec := NULL;
v_category_rec.structure_id := 50415;
v_category_rec.summary_flag := ‘N’;
v_category_rec.enabled_flag := ‘Y’;
v_category_rec.segment1 := ‘ENGINEERING’;
v_category_rec.segment2 := ‘BAG’;
v_category_rec.segment3 := ‘DEFAULT’;
— Calling the api to create category —
INV_ITEM_CATEGORY_PUB.CREATE_CATEGORY
(
p_api_version => 1.0,
p_init_msg_list => fnd_api.g_true,
p_commit => fnd_api.g_false,
x_return_status => v_return_status,
x_errorcode => v_errorcode,
x_msg_count => v_msg_count,
x_msg_data => v_msg_data,
p_category_rec => v_category_rec,
x_category_id => v_category_id –returns category id
);
IF v_return_status = fnd_api.g_ret_sts_success THEN
COMMIT;
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line (‘Creation of Item Category is Successful : ‘||v_CATEGORY_ID);
ELSE
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line (‘Creation of Item Category Failed with the error :’||v_ERRORCODE);
ROLLBACK;
FOR i IN 1 .. v_msg_count LOOP
v_msg_data := oe_msg_pub.get( p_msg_index => i, p_encoded => ‘F’);
dbms_output.put_line( i|| ‘) ‘|| v_msg_data);
END LOOP;
END IF;
END;
Conclusion
With the above API you can create Item Category
