Table 5.2 The Most Important Item Category Groups in the Standard SAP System
You must maintain this value in the material master on the Sales: sales org. 2 tab.
Here you can enter two item category groups, the first in the Gen. item cat. grp
field. This value applies to the material regardless of the sales organization. The
second value must be entered in the Item category group field and is based on
the sales organization and the distribution channel. During the category determination,
the SAP system first tries to determine the item category with the second
value. However, if this value is not maintained in the material master, the system
determines the category on the basis of the first value. Figure 5.12 shows the fields
in the material master file. In this example, you can see that the material in the
delivery document will be a standard item.
