Hi,

See the doc for this field to understand better:

process category comes in Product Cost Controlling (CO-PC) area

The process categories differentiate between the different types of procurement or consumption of materials.

For example, the process categories "production" and "purchase order" represent two different methods of procuring a material. Since different methods of procurement or consumption are handled by the SAP System in different ways, the system updates different types of data. On the basis of this data, characteristics can be derived and used to create procurement processes, procurement alternatives, and consumption alternatives. For example, the following characteristics can be updated for a production process:

Plant

Material

Production plant

Planning plant

Production version

The following characteristics can be determined for the procurement process "purchase order":

Plant

Material

Purchasing organization or vendor

You can specify which of these characteristics is used to create procurement alternative or processes in the Controlling level.

reward if useful
