In this menu option you define the item categories which determine the features and functions of a component. You assign an item category to a component when creating component items in the production order.

The item category also determines the screen selection and the screen layout of the component detail screens.

From a production order point of view, the item category specifies

  • whether a material entry is required
  • whether it is an item with inventory management on a quantity basis
  • whether the item is a pure text item
  • whether individual sizes are to be entered for the item
  • whether a +/- sign is permitted

Note

  • You cannot use item categories defined for plant maintenance elements or for documents.
  • The item category displays the same category which is used in BOM maintenance (where it is usually maintained).

Default Settings

The following item categories are contained in the standard SAP R/3 System:

  • document item (not in production order)
  • item kept in stock
  • text item
  • non-stock item
  • variable-sized item
  • PM structure element (not in production order)

Actions

Define new item categories, if necessary.
