item category usage is used for determining different item category.

if the material is going to used for the different purpose like Free then we want item category (TANN) to be different then in case of normal sale(TAN) .

so it is used for changing the behaviour of the item based on the usage.

Item Category Usage:

Item category usages which control the usage of an item. Item category usage controls, for example, the system response if during document processing an item does not refer to a material but to a text item. I

tem category usage can also be maintained via the item categories (detail screen for item categories: Goto -> Item usage).

Default settings

In the standard SAP R/3 System, the following usages are defined:

Batch split

usage is one of the important factor in determining the item category.

It can be used to describe a material's behavoiur in the certain environment or scenarois.

Ex

OR + NORM + + = TAN

OR + NORM+ PHSP + = TAX

in this scenario, this norm item is used in the product selection(Material determination). this is usage of the item.

Here the meaning is if the norm item is used in material determination, the proposed item category is TAX, instead of TAN. i hope now u can understand my point.

hope i answered ur query.
