ITEM CATEGORIES

The data at item level in a sales docuiment is controlled by item categories. Depending on the requirement we need to process the items in different ways.

1)THE SAME ITEM HAS TO BE PROCESSS IN DIFFERENT WAYS IN DIFFERENT SALES DOCUMENTS.

a Standard item in quotation is not relevant for shipping and billing but if it exists in sales oreder it is relevant for both shipping and billing

if er are offering the free goods for an item the main quantity is relevant for pricing but not the free quantity

if we create a third party item the system has to create a purchase order which is not required for a standard item.

in order to fulfill all these requirements we need to define item categories

Dear Sravani,

<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.

Regards,

Naveen.
