Go to VOV4, select your sale order type with the combination of Item Category Group NORM and check what is maintained under the tab "DfItC". This will flow in your sale order.

Usage in Item Category: 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 Customer 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.

Thanks & Regards,
