Item Category determines the processing of any Item/material that we enter in a sales order and in this way it also effects the procesing of any sales doc in which it is used.

What is the meaning of schedule line categories

If you take a sales order document, it is divided into three parts:

Header Level information :

This consist of the overall information of the sales document, for example Net value of the sales order and the like.

Item level information :

This consist of information at item level, like Item 1 has a material with a net price so and so, item 2 has another material with another net price and so and so.

Schedule line information :

This gives the information of the time a sales order has to be delivered to the customer, to view this select the item you want to view and to the menu under item >> Schedule line. This date is actually calculated from the delivery date in the Sales document.

Sales Document Item:

1. Define Item Categories: If possible use Standard Item Category. Incase if required to create new, copy as from standard & maintain New.

2. Assign Item Categories: If possible, use standard. Formula for deriving item category: Sales Document Type + Item Category Group + Usage + Higher Level Item Category = Item Category

Schedule Line:

1. Define Schedule Line Categories: If possible use Standard Schedule Lines. Incase if required to create new, copy as from standard & maintain New.

2. Assign Schedule Line Categories: If possible, use standard. Formula for deriving Schedule Line: Item Category + MRP Type / No MRP Type.

Dear Sravani Davisetty,

<b>Item Category:</b>

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/dd/55fb13545a11d1a7020000e829fd11/content.htm

Item categories are defined to provide additional control functions for the sales documents and thus meet the demands resulting from different business transactions. A separate control is defined for each of these item categories. For example, the functions of a standard item are completely different from those of a free-of-charge item or a text item.

The following graphic shows some of the item categories which are defined in the standard system. For instance, the first example displays the item categories for a standard item in the inquiry, in the quotation, and in the sales order.

<b>Item Category Control:</b>

The system uses an item category to process a material differently in each sales document type. For example, you can define a different control for a material in an inquiry and a material in an order.

The following graphic shows an example of how a material is controlled in an inquiry and how it is controlled in an order.

In the inquiry, the standard item is priced but is not relevant for delivery. For the free-of-charge item, however, which is subordinate to the standard item, no pricing is carried out and it is not relevant for delivery.

In the sales order, the situation is different. Both items are relevant for delivery but pricing is carried out only for the standard item.

<b>Schedule Line Category:</b>

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/dd/55fb20545a11d1a7020000e829fd11/content.htm

The items in a sales document are divided into one or more schedule lines. These schedule lines differ from each other with respect to date and quantity.

Different control elements are also defined for the schedule lines. For example, for some schedule lines, material requirements planning is not carried out; for other schedule lines, it is carried out. Also goods receipt, not goods issue, is posted for a schedule line defined in a returns document.

The following graphic provides an overview of some of the item categories which are defined in the standard system.

<b>Schedule Line Category Control</b>

The various schedule line categories are controlled in different ways:

The schedule line AT in inquiries is used only for information.

No requirements are transferred and no availability check is carried out for the schedule lines BN and CN.

Requirements are transferred and the availability of the material is checked for the schedule lines BP and CP.

No stocks are managed for the schedule line categories BT, CT and CX. No goods issue is posted for the categories BT and CT. However, goods issue is posted for CX.

The schedule line categories BV and CV are controlled in the same manner as the categories BN and CN. However, requirements can be passed on for analysis purposes.

Goods receipt is posted for the schedule line DN in a returns document.

The schedule line categories CN, CP, CT, and CV are relevant for delivery; the other schedule line categories are not.

Item Category:

A classification that distinguishes between different types of item (for example, free of charge items and text items) and determines how the system processes the item.

The system proposes an item category. If alternatives are defined for your system, you can change the item category manually in the sales document.

If, for example, you identify an item as a free or charge item, you tell the system, in this case, to ignore normal pricing procedures.

Ex.: TAN – Standard Item, TANN – Free of Charge Item etc.

Schedule Line Category:

A classification that distinguishes between different kinds of schedule line. The category determines how the system processes the schedule line.

The schedule line category determines, for example, whether the system passes on requirements to materials requirements planning (MRP).
