Hi,

General item category grp is used in the sales processes like BOM, where we have higher item category and the default item

categories.

General item category grp would refer to the higher level item category and item category grp would refer to the default item category

General Item category Group is an extension item category group. Example: if one select item catagory group as NORM, but under item category group, NORM can further be classified as Service item, packagaing item or Normal

item using "general item category group".

Also, General item category group is maintained at client level, this field can be maintain from Basic Data View of Material Master. Thus in case item category group is missing, then general item category group is used for item category determination.

Item category group determines how a material is processed in the sales order. When processing sales and distribution

documents, the system uses the item category group to determine the item category and proposes it in the respective document. Item category group is defined in the Sales Org View 2 of Material Master Record.

Example, in the standard SAP System, the item category group NORM is defined for materials kept in stock and the group DIEN for services and non-stock material

Hi there,

Gen item catg grp is the extended item catg which is specific to the client. For eg NORM. You can also choose to leave it blank.

Item catg grp is the one which is used in item catg determination in VOV4. For eg NORM item can be 0002 configurable item or a service or packaging material.
