Hi

1) based on item category group only item category is going to determine.

2) item category control item behavior let it be 10 items 1000 items under one item category group.

I hope you have understood.

Hi,

Item category group determines the behaviour of the item,Whether it is value item or free item.

Actually the item cat. grp is mostly relevant to Sales and distribution , particularly to the sales org.

General item category group determines the category of the item ,Like trading goods,service goods or finished goods.

Gen. item cat. group is maintained at Basic data 1, since it is maintained at client level, it can be used thro diff sales orgs. Also it can be used in MM perspective

The item category group determines how a material is processed in the sales order. It defines, for example, that pricing does not take place for a free of charge item, such as a business gift; or that inventory management is not carried out for a service. When processing sales and distribution documents, the system uses the item category group to determine the item category. The system determines the item category based on the item category group of the material and the current business transaction, and proposes it in the respective document.

When creating the material types non-stock material and services, DIEN is proposed in both cases for the item category group, because the order processing for both material types is identical: for example, pricing is carried out for both, but no availability check.

Hi kumar

General item category group controls the views in the material master record

Item category group controls the behavior of the sales order
