Sundarachellam,
Well, why do you need to create a new item category? It would help if you can clarify your business scenario so that it would be easier for us to make the right recommendation.
Regarding your question, the answer is a NO. It is not possible to create a new item category in SAP. The item category table (T163) is an SAP system table and cannot be changed by customers. Please read OSS note 61345 for a further explanation.
In simpler terms, SAP has built a great amount of control around the item category in the way it has designed its standard PO program and the way it is processed in the program. They do not want customers to mess around with this.
Then again, nothing is impossible in SAP. Probably, an expert ABAP programmer can understand the way the item category is processed in the PO program and you may well be able to modify the system by creating an entry in table T163 and use it during PO creation. But, this is certainly not recommended by SAP.
Hope this helps.
