Hi,

the determination you have given is for determination of sales Item category.

For delivery item category is determined by combination of Delivery type+ Item category group +usage + Higher level item category = delivery Item Category

you can check this at T.Code "0184" (all numeric)

Hi,

Delivery item category is used only for shipping whereas shipment item category is used to control shipment costing.

Hope I,m able to clarify the difference between two.

Pls revert.

Check tcodes -

T_56 - Shipment cost types and item cats

0VTL - Activity Profiles for Shipment Types

T_54 - Shipment cost relevance shipments

T_57 - Shipment cost types and relevance

T_80 - Shipment Cost Information Profile

Assign item categories to every shipment cost type, taking into account the corresponding cost type (shipment header, shipment stage, border crossing point or load transfer point). You can also assign the valuation class for G/L account determination and specify whether the item of the corresponding item category is to be created automatically or must be entered manually.

Shipment item categories are defined in customizing and they are used in Shipment cost calculation. It controls whether the shipment cost is relevant for settlement or not, determines the settlement date etc.,

Whereas, the delivery item category controls, relevancy for picking, packing control, overdelivery checking, storage location determination etc.,

Hope this somewhat answers your query...
