Hi Mahesh!

It's simple buddy! "Material type" captures the characteristics of a material. And Item category group discloses how the material is maintained in the plant. i.e. is it manufactured(norm) or procured externally(bans)

Now the question is the difference between general item category group and item category group?

The business may produce and some times may also procure the material.

In such scenarios we maintain “norm” in general item category group. But if a need arises to procure we can change it to “bans” in item category group.

I hope your question is answered.

Hi,

Item category group is part of Material master which is meaning of

"A grouping of materials that the system uses to determine item

categories during the processing of sales documents. "

Depending on the item category group that you apply and the sales

document type you are processing, the system automatically proposes an

item category in the document.

Example

In the standard system, for example, there are standard items, items

that represent services (and do not require delivery processing), and

items that represent packaging materials.

Ex:Normal item category group:NORM

Packaging item category group:VERP

Sales document 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.

Example

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:Item category:ZTAN

item category group is maintained at Sales org level. General item category group is maintained at client level. Gen. item cat, grp is more generic in Material master
