Hello Guys,
How is Item Category determined in a SD document
Here is a good resource on SAP Item Category determination including important tables and transaction codes. It Also has some hands on exercises to do yourself to become more comfortable with the configuration and transaction processing.
Happy learning.

hi,
just to add :
<b>Determining the Item Category</b>
The item category in the sales document depends on the sales document type and the material. An item category group is defined in the material master record. For example, in the standard SAP System, the item category group NORM is defined for materials kept in stock and the group DIEN for services and non-stock material.
The following graphic shows how the system determines the item category. For a material with item category group NORM, the system determines the item category AFN for an inquiry (sales document type IN) and the item category TAN for a standard order (sales document type OR).
<b>Determining the Item Category for Sub-Items</b>
Services and free goods can be entered as separate items or can be allocated to other items. An item which is allocated to another one is called a sub-item. Determining the item category for sub-items depends on the higher-level item.
If a free goods item is allocated to a standard item in a standard order (item category TAN), the item category TANN is used for the sub-item in the standard version of the SAP System, and the sub-item is processed as a free-of-charge item.
Hope it helps.
Thanks

Examples:

Hi Kiran,
Item category is for a particu;lar sales order item and it has integration with sales document type and material master.
In material master ,you must have seen the item category grp in basic data and sales area data.
That means your item category is assigned to the combination of sales document type and item category grp in the configuration.
Whenever you will create an order for a particular type and you will put your material then your item category will be determined automatically.
Configuration is done by spro---sd -sales-sales document item----assign item category

Hi Kiran.,
Customizing means,When a materail is entered in the line item of an order the materail checks the itemcategory group in material and material group is determined in item category determination ,so it takes the default item category from the determination,
We maintain item category determination in VOV4
If any doubts feel free to ask
Reward if helpfull
Thanks & Regards
