Hi The Item Usage and Higher Level Item Category decide about the Item Category in a sales doc.

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,

whenever we have a set of items to be sold together under one head, say a BOM like computer ( contains - mouse, KB, Mon, CPU etc ) or free item ( 10 + 1 etc ) schemes. The item category of all these resultant items is being influenced by the main item.

thats the reason we have item cat det as

Sal doc type + Item cat group + Usage + Higher level item cat --- > item cat.

So the child parts/materials are under the influence of main items' item category, which we call as higher level item category.

Usage is how we are using a particular item, for example FREE which needs to be used for free goods determination.

Thanks

item cat detm

order type + item cat group + high level itemcat + usage = item cat

in an order item cat is determined in the following way

order type = manually enterd at intial screen level

item cat grp = picks from MMr sales org 2

<u>high level item cat</u> = this is picked from sales oder line item ITEM CAT FEILD ok

ex -- in a sales order u have 3 line items

1 mat1 TAN

2 mat2 ZTAN

here z tan is determined by OR + NORM + TAN + - = ZTAN

means the higher level item cat of line item oder can also influence the next line items item catg if maintained in vov4

usage = even this place a vital role in determining item cat

you can find this field in CMIR customer material info record from wher you ge thtis field

ex if you maitain usage in VD51 then

OR + NORM + - + - = TAN

OR + NORM + - + xxxx = XTAN

this xxxx(usage) is maintained in VD51 from where the system picks up and checks wether a proper item cat is mainted for this comb in VOV4

ok
