Hi,

An item categories usage is defined by SAP when creating a sales order. The system determines,

for example, that the usage refers to a text item as opposed to a deliverable item when you enter test in the order item rather than a material number. Based on this usage, the system will use the item category determination to propose an item category.

You can see all of the item category usage indicators in SPRO, SD > Sales > Sales Docs > Sales doc items > Define Item cat usage.

Example:

For Material Determination

Usage we use is PSHP for Displaying Main Items

Usage we use is PSEL for Displaying Sub Items

This usage we use for OUTCOME

Outcome: outcome controls whether substituted material

Should be replaced or displayed as sub items.

For Free Goods

Usage is free

Configure these usages in vov4.

Regards,

Abhee.

hi friend,

there are many usage in VOV4 in standard SAP, you can see it thru F4.

in some specific scenarios, such as batch split or sales BoM, you should customize in VOV4 how sub-items in a sales order is determined, which is different from the determination in standard sales order. in such scenarios, u can use usage to identify such case.
