Hi,

as we know, the item category grp is used in the determination of Item category in SD.

Actually the item cat. grp is mostly relevant to Sales and distribution , particularly to the one distribution chain level.

But in 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.

Yes, there are scenarios where we can maintain these two differently. But item category is always determined from item category group.

Hope it is useful..

Reward points if useful..
