Hi Murali,
Item category controlls total sales document. Please read thru the following which helps you in detail about Item category.
The item category controls what the item does in the sales doc & in any later processing for that business transaction. It controls the sales doc & affects the schedule line category.
A classification that distinguishes between different types of items (for e.g., free of charge items & text items) & determines how the system processes the item. E.g., if you identify an item as a free of charge item, you tell the system, in this case to ignore the normal pricing procedure.
The system uses an item category to process a material differently in each sales doc type: in inquiry, the standard item is priced but not relevant for delivery. For the free of charge item, no pricing & no delivery. But in sales order both the items are relevant for delivery and pricing is carried out for the standard item.
Standard Item: (AFN: Inquiry), (AGN: Quotation), (TAN: Sales Order)
Free of Charge Item: (AFNN: Inquiry), (AGNN: Quotation), (TANN: Sales Order)
Non-Stock Item: (AFX: Inquiry), (AGX: Quotation), (TAX: Sales Order)
Text Item: (AFTX: Inquiry), (AGTX: Quotation), (TATX: Sales Order)
Item Category Controls: document, billing, pricing, delivery/shipping & incompletion log.
Whether the item refers to a material master record (or is a text or value item)
Whether schedule lines are allowed
Whether pricing is relevant
Whether billing is relevant
Which data is required for the item (will appear in the incompletion log)?
Whether the business data in the item can be different to that of the doc header.
