See SAP Note 642834. I am quoting this from that note.

The effort for structuring the product list of a catalog category increases with the number of products in this category. This refers both to the execution time (mainly reading and transferring of information from the catalog index) as well as to the required memory requirement. Both issues should not be underestimated with the mentioned size of 10000 products per category.
Due to these reasons, the restriction of 10,000 products per category was introduced.
The same limit is used for the total number of categories per catalog.

The limit is10,000. But you won't be able to use it due to several other operational reasons.. Hope you are not planning to test that limit..

HI, Easwar

Thank you for your quick answer

Catalog area level - does it has limitation?

I haven't seen an explicit limit. But I am guessing that it goes something like this:

The total sum of all the categories and sub-categories in all levels is not greater than 10,000.

Say if we have only two main categories, then we can go 5000 level deep in each main category (no more than one sub category at each level). Or if we have 5000 main categories, then we can go just one more level deeper at each category). In both the cases, the total categories + sub-categories is 10,000.

So, in theory we can have as many combination as you can imagine with in these limits.

More often, the limiting factor is the usability rather than the number of sub-categories.
