Hi,

Item Category Usage: 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 oppossed to a deliverable item when you enter text 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 also find the usage in Custoemer material info record (T.Code VD51), if you want to determine any customer specific item category you may use the usage field in Custoemr master info record.

You can devlop an user exit to determine the item category based upon usage field as well.

Hi,

ITEM USAGE will be taken from the CUSTOMER MATERIAL INFO RECORD in VD51

If you maintain the value in VD51 and it will have impact on the item usage, if you are not using VD51 then usage has no impact on the ITEM CATEGORY DETERMINATION

You can leave it as blank

HI, THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST

NOT IN Customer material info record( WE CAN ASSIGN USAGE FRO SPECIFIC CUSTOMER-MATERIAL),

BUT WHEN WE CREATE SALES ORDER, SAP SYSTEM DETERMINE WHICH USAGE IS FIT AT EACH ITEM.

FOR EXAMPLE, WE PUT ITEM TEXT THEN SAP SYSTEM DETERMINES 'TEXT'(USAGE) ACCORDING TO HARD-CODED ABAP PROGRAM

(ABAP PROGRAM DERTERMINES WHICH USAGE WILL BE SELECTED FOR AN ITEM LIKE TEXT , FREE ..ETC)

THANK YOU FOR YOUR KINDNESS

Dear Jeo,

By default system take 'TAN' in sales order but you can change 'TANN'

in case you want to give Free material.
