Higher level item category and Item usage are used in the item category determination.

Let me take an example of Item Category TANN (Free of charge Item)

Item category Determination: Sales Document type + Item Category Group + Usage + Higher Level Item Category

TA + NORM + FREE + TAN = TANN

Higher Level Item category: The category on which this item category is dependent. meaning for TAN , TANN is a free item. Therefor TAN is the higher level item category.

Item Category Usage: It controls system response during document processing. The line item has an specific usage according to that usage it has to respond. Free for free items, text for text items etc.

Hi,

Item category can be determine using

Item category gp (Material master) + Order Type + Usage + Hg Lv It = Item category.

Hg Lv It

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

Eg IF HgLvIt = TAN then the sub-item category will be TANN.

Default item category

The item category that the system automatically proposes when you create a document or create a new item within an existing document.

For eg , For third party order system automatically propose TAS as we maitained it on the basis of item category gp (BANS) in material master .

Hope this help.
