Documentation
Definition
Allows you to explicitly specify an item type when creating a credit or debit memo item.
Use
You can assign an item type, next to the document type, in order to be able to distinguish between activities in which only the value is relevant and activities in which value and quantity are relevant in automatic postings.
If you do not make an entry here, the system determines the item type according to the item type assignment made in Customizing under Sales and Distribution -> Sales -> Sales Documents -> Sales Document Item -> Assign Item Categories.
You should ensure for all activities in which only the value is relevant that the request document and its corresponding billing document (credit/debit memo) only use item types for which the parameter Item Type has been set to Value Item.
This is the only way to make sure that quantity-based key figures are neither affected by these activities, nor by the document items created during the activities, nor by updates in back-end applications like the sales information system or the CO-PA profitability analysis.
In the documentation for SD self-billing, there are hints on how to make the settings (including examples).
Dependencies
If you explicitly specify an item type here, this item type must at least be allowed for the corresponding document type in the Customizing setting Assign Item Categories.
