What is Item Category with respect to Configuration Planning? Explain.
Hi,
Item Category for Sales Document :
Definition
A classification that distinguishes between different types of item (for example, free of charge items and text items) and determines how the system processes the item.
Procedure
The system proposes an item category. If alternatives are defined for your system, you can change the item category manually in the sales document.
Example
If, for example, you identify an item as a free or charge item, you tell the system, in this case, to ignore normal pricing procedures.
Item Categories for Configurable Materials
In the standard system, the following item category groups determine which item categories are assigned to configurable materials in the sales order:
Item category group 0002
Pricing and transfer of requirements for header material (refer to Graphic 1)
Item category group 0004
Pricing and transfer of requirements for components (refer to Graphic 2)
The BOM of the configurable material may contain configurable assemblies, which are copied to the sales order as subordinate items. The item category group of the materials and the item category of the superior material determine the item category of these subordinate items.
