Documentation
Definition
Materials grouping that helps the system to determine item categories during sales document processing.
If a group is configured specific to distribution channel, it has priority if the corresponding activity is distribution channel-dependent.
Procedure
The system automatically suggests an item type in the document depending on the item category group you assign and the sales document type you are processing.
Example
In the standard system, there are normal items, items that signify services (and therefore need no delivery processing) and items that signify packing material, for example.
