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.

hi..

Item catagory is a function which classifies diff items from their charecteristics,properties.

Each item catagory has its own specifications which describes the components

Ex

L= stock item(always presents in stock)

N=Non-stock item(procured when actually needed fr an order & not goes to stock)

etc

See BOM screen fr details..
