Hi,

High level item category is the item category of the high level item. For example, you would like to create a BoM. Main-item is the PC and sub-item is the keyboard. So you enter the sales order like this

Item Material Quantity High-level item Item category

10 PC 1 TAN

20 Keyboard 1 10

Then when determining the item category of item 20, the High level item category will be found as TAN. The system will searching for such a entry in VOV4.

The usage is another key word for item category determination. However it is filled hard-coded for some special process, for example repair process.

So the usage is normally blank.

Hope it helps.

Best regards,

Smile

Hi

Specifies the item category for higher-level items in sales order and delivery processing.Higher-level items are items for which you create sub-items.

The item category of the higher-level item determines the item category of related sub-items.

Example:

In a sales order, you want to create a rebate in kind item that is dependent on a higher-level item. You first create a higher-level item for 100 units. You then create a sub-item for a rebate of one unit and assign it to the higher-level item. When you create and assign the sub-item, the system automatically proposes an item category for it.

Thanks.
