How Item Category is linked to a Condition Type?

[Former Member]

How the item category is connected back-end to the condition type?

i.e. what makes one item category behave this way & another that way?

For example,say there is a sales order with multiple line items & say the 1st item is linked to a particular discount ,and the 2nd item is linked to another type of discount ,3rd item to yet another type of discount and so on.....

So,how the system understands how a particular line item is linked to a particular discount?

Thanks & Regards

Just trying to answer the question which the interviewer asked.

It would be through condition records.

The answer would lie in Item category determination rule with Item category group being the field responsible for the connection.

VK11 for a condition type has/ would have the material and the material has the item Category Group field.

So when the material is punched in the sales order, the item cat gets determined and consequently the condition type and the value attached to it ( not sure if this the sequence)

Thanks Sap Light.

That is what I too replied to the interviewer!!

But now I'm little confused after reading Bilgin's post. What you feel Sap Light ?

Which should be the correct answer - yours or Bilgin's??

Anyways thanks to all for the answers.
