In this menu option you define the item category determination for deliveries. The following applies:

  • If an order item or a schedule line is copied into a delivery, the item category is also copied.
  • For items independent of orders in the delivery (for example, packaging material that is entered in the delivery) or deliveries without reference to an order, the item category is determined by the SAP System by allocating the item category group to a delivery type.

The respective item category is determined depending on the following criteria:

  • Item category group of the material
  • Sales document type

For more information on the item category group and on the allocation of the item categories, see the section "Define item category determination in sales documents".

For each item category, you allocate the allowed delivery types to the item category groups. On the other hand you can also allocate the item categories to the item category groups for each delivery type.

If you enter a material with a certain item category group (for example, standard item) in a delivery with a certain document type, the SAP System automatically finds the allowed item category by allocating the delivery type to the item category group.

Define the item category that is to be proposed automatically. You can also define the allowed item categories which you can then specify in the delivery by changing the default.

Note

The SAP System automatically determines the corresponding schedule line category using the item category of a delivery item independent of an order. The information in the schedule line category is necessary for the availability check as well as for quantity postings and value postings in materials management due to the goods movement.

Actions

To define the item category determination, proceed as follows, for example:

  • Select the delivery type to which you want to allocate item categories.
  • Then select one of the item category groups.
  • Specify all allowed item categories for the combination of delivery type and item category group.

    If it is an item category that is to be proposed in the delivery, you have to characterize the combination of item category, item category group, and delivery type.

Alternatively, you can also make the allocation via the item categories.
