If you're referring to a component as part of a bill of material, the "D" lets you attached a document created in the central Document Management System component. Once DMS has been configured, you can create a document using transaction CV01N. When you enter "D" as the item category on a BOM, the system prompts you for a document number. Documents on BOMs are useful for things like photos, drawings, specs, instructions, etc.

Hi Chinta,

You have to create the Document via using T-Code CV01N, in that you have to give in the Document Type which is to be configured in SPRO. and also you need to give the Document Part and Version.

then you get into the screen, and give in the description,

and the create the Attachment in the Originals Tab, there you have to first give in the document type,

again in the original field browse the document and attach the same.

then remember to right click the document and check in and save the same henceforth a no will be generated.

you can use this number with Item Category "D"

Hope it helps you.
