Dear Sandeep

The item usage indicator controls the system reaction when you process a sales document item in a certain context.

This indicator can be used for determination of item categories, where you can use it to control which other item categories are to be found in a certain environment (text items and packing items, for example).

It can also control which items are to be billed in a service quotation or the corresponding sales order and which are only there for statistical reasons.

Infact you can see this field in VD52.

thanks

Hi

Item Category Usage: item category usages which control the usage of an item. Item category usage controls, for example, the system response if during document processing an item does not refer to a material but to a text item. Item category usage can also be maintained via the item categories

Define:

Spro --> Sales and Distribution --> Sales --> Sales Documents --> Sales Document Item --> Define Item Category Usage

hope this helps u

Dear Sandeep,

Itemcategory Usage will control the Usage of an item.

Example:- If you want create sales order for the free of item along with the Standard item at this senerio the usage FREE will be used for the free item , based on thie itemcategory will be determined.

ORNORMFREE(USAGE)+Higher level item (TAN)-->Free item(TANN).

Based on the TANN item category price will not charged to the FREE item.

One more example when we process an item in the sales order as TEXT item we will take Usage as TEXT.

I hope it will make you clear

Define Item Category Usage

you can specify the item category usages which control the usage of an item. Item category usage controls, for example, the system response if during document processing an item does not refer to a material but to a text item.
