Material Master--Item CAt. group.

[Former Member]

Dear SAP Guru's

I need clarification on the following points.

1. In the Materail MAster MM02 Creation screen

In SALES org 2 :

What is the diff. of General Item category group and Item category group.

2. I have a scenerio where I have out sourced material BANS as the Item category group and general Item category group as Norm.

When I create a sales order the system automatically creates a purchase requisition. in the system and confirms the del. date.

Where I have to configure the order document type sothat the PR (Purchase requisition comes automatically.

regards,

Actually the automatic purchasse req. creation settings is done at schedule line level (Field called order type)

the schedule line category is determined from item category + MRP type

In turn, item category is determined from order type + item. cat. grp + usage + higher level item cat

while answering to ur 1st query, the system always takes item category group in determining item category determination.

then, the item category group is related to only for that particular distribution chain.

But the Gen. item cat. group is related to the activities of all the distribution chain since it is maintained at cliient (basic data) level.

Hope it clears
