The usage is used to determine the ITEM CATEGORY, it is maintained in CUSTOMER MATERIAL INFO RECORDS ,in the bottom most part of the screen you can see it.

Usage is used primarily for text items to go with the standard item.

For ex. repairs for a material.

Standard Material - TAN

Service-Repair - Text material

Item category determination : sales document type+ item category group+ usage + higher level item category

standard item category : OR +NORM --TAN

For Material Determination

Usage we use is PSHP for Displaying Main Items

Usage we use is PSEL for Displaying Sub Items

This usage we use for OUTCOME

Outcome: outcome controls whether substituted material

should be replaced or displayed as sub items.

For Free Goods

Usage is free

so configure this usages in vov4.

some cases the system itself identifies the usage. for example when u jus type some text in the description in the order it automatically identifies it to be a text item with TATX as item category.. here usage text is automatically determined.

Do let me know in case of any queries.

Hope this helps you.

Hi

item category usages controls 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

the following usages are defined:

Batch split

Text item

Service item relevant for billing

Service item not relevant for billing

hope this helps

The determination of the item usage is hard coded in the ABAP source and therefore you have no influence on the item usage.
