default item category and manual item category

This text itself is self explanatory.

Default Item Category - When you create a sale order, the default item category will flow automatically

Manual Item Category - If you maintain any item category other than default item category, you can change it manually in sale order

thanks

Hi,

when document order document, Item category automatically proposes if you maintain it as default. But manuel item category is alternative instead of the default item category if it is maintained. item category assignment can be done from spro >> SD >> sales >> sales document >> sales document item >> assign item category.

I hope this will be useful for you.

Hello Friend,

Default Item category is the one proposed by the system while created Sales Order (Sales Doc + Item Cat group + usage + Higher level Item).

Now sometimes you need to change the Default Item Category proposed in Sales Order. Thus you have to specify list of allowed item Categories that can be Manually entered in Sales Order (Manual item Category)

An example would be that a partuclar material is produced by your company & at times also sold thru Third party process. Thus in this case you will have to change the Item Category in Sales Order manually from TAN to TAS.

In such a case you will have to maintian Item category TAS as manual Item Category with combination of Sales Doc + Item Cat group + usage + Higher level Item. Here the Default item Category would be TAN & Manual Item category would be TAS.

Unless you dont maintain TAS as manual Item category, system will not allow you to enter TAS in Sales Orders manually...

Hope this helps...

Thanks,

Hi,

Your question is for the diff betn higher level item catg and defalt Item catg.

In sales order the item catg get determined through Sales doc / Item catg grp / Usage / Higher level item catg.

Higher level item catg is used when item catg determination for particular item depends on other item's item catg.

For eg if you are processing free goods, the std item catg will be TAN for main item and for free goods item the Item catg will be TANN with TAN as higher level item catg. Becase free good item is depended on main item.
