Answer / bageerath

Item category is nothing but differentiating a material
with an item category... or catogorizing the items of same
behavior into one.
Ex: TAN Standard items...
Item category is determined using sales document type +
item category group + usage + Higher lever Item + default
Item Category and Manual Item category (in necessary).

Item Category Group: This is the group of Item Catogories i
should say in crude way..
or grouping of Item categories Ex: NORM

Hope this helps u out...

Thanks
