Item category controls what the items does in sales docment
and in any processing in later. It controls pricing,
completion rule, schedule line, delivery relevance, billing
relevance, BOM etc.

Answer / sathya

Item category controls the flow of document i.e., it checks
whether the documents are releavent for pricing or delivery
or billing added to it we can also check various other
parameters.

1. If suppose the customer request a process deviating the
normal standard sales process i.e., if an order is raised
for 100 items and the customer has in his stock only 75
items, and he delivers that 75 against the order then the
order has to be closed after the delivery of 75 items(which
means that order should not remain OPEN) it is possible.

2. If customer wants only one line item to be active and
only one item has to be delivered even that is possible
through configuration.

3. If customer wants text item to be valid for pricing then
this issue can also be configured

like this... we can configure certain reuirements
pertaining to item category...

Answer / jameer

Item category is the important phase in the sales document.

There are different types of Item categories.
1.Std Item(TA)
2.Free of Charge item (FSD)
3.Text Item (Tatx).
4.Service item (DIEN).\

Depends on the material the item usage will be known.For example you take.
1.Service item.(DIEN).. For this the delivery is not going to be done.
2.Std Item.(TA)..For this the pricing,delivery,Billing,Packing is going to take place.
3. Free of charge item(TAD)... The billing is not going to take place for the free of charge item.

So, like this depends upon the Item category the clients requirement can be fullfilled by taking this item cateogories.
