Hi Dinesh,

Sales order is bascically divided into 2 parts

1) sales header (Here you assign sales order number and give customer number)

2) sales item (here we assign the name of the material)

In order to do configuration for this sales order we require sales document type.Configuration is done in VOV8.For e.g. Standard order,returns order are sales document types.When you will create a sales order and a number will be generated then this number would fall under the category of particular sales document type.

Similarly we have item category which is assigned to sales document type and item category grp..This item category is put in the sales org2 view of material master.You can only use those material in the sales order whose item category grp has been maintained with the sales document type.

You can also refer to the link below for any help on SD.

HI DINESH

To perform any business process , there should be a document type attached to it and the doc type controls how the document should be processed and how it should be configured take eg of sales doc types , all the business process concerning the sales comes under sales doc types like inquiry ,quotation and order,delivery and billing. The system should understand the process which the user is planning to perform . This is called as sales doc type and the underlying config of the doc type controls how the doc should behave eg inquiry is not relevant for biling we should not check the field rel for billing in inquiry type in

Sales item categories are used to control the behavior of an item in sales doc processing. different items behave in diff ways in diff business processes

eg .Suppose if we are offering one shirt free for every one shirt purchased. here the item shirt should behave as a main item and also as a free good item which is not relevant for billing . so item cat will control this business process. With the combination of sales doc type , the item cat group of a material, the usage of amaterial and the higher level item assigned , the system will know the condition of the item and also the business process. we can configure these settings in item categories

reward points if my answer helps you

Hi

Sales Document Types means all the documents regarding sales i.e., Order types, shipping types, billing types.

We will come across the different types of orders in the sales order types VOV8 and different delivery types OVLK, billing documents in VOFA.

Regarding item category it controls the behaviour of material through out the sales process right from order to cash process.

Item category is determined by the order type with the combination of item category group in material master and higher level item category and the item usage.

Hope this adds information.
