hi divya,

for example ur doing free goods. say u hv 2 materials M1&M2.if at all the customer say X is placing an order for 10pcs of material M1 u r giving 1pc of material M2 as a free good.i.e nothing but Material M1 is the main item n M2 is the subitem of the main item M1.here material M1 is relevant for pricing n whereas M2 is not relevant for pricing. we hv item categories TAN(which is relevant for pricing) & TANN(not relevant for pricing).so while creating an order sys should pick TAN>M1 & TANN>M2.i.e the item category(TAN) which is assigned to the main item (M1) will become the Hi.L.It cat and item category(TANN) which is assigned to the subitem(M2) will become the D.It cat.

Hi Divya,

Item category defines the behaviour of the Item, like the Item is delivery relevant, Pricing , Billing relevant etc..

Higher level Item Category: This comes into picture with for example for Freegoods, the item category is TANN and this is determined based on the higher level Item category ( TAN). i.e For a particular Main Item (TAN ) another item (TANN) is free.

Default Item category: It is the item category determined automatically for the combination of Sales document type + Item Category Group + Higher Level Item Cat + Usage.

Manual Item Category : is ithe option provided to change the default item category and enter the Item category defined here.
