Hi,
This is general sales data
The usage field mean for what purpose you want to use this material
Like - sample, on rent, replacement, final consumer etc. depend on requirements even this field you can use in price determination also, if prices are depends on usage
Example - material XYZ  is sold to customer 12345
but some time I can give it on rent also, In this two scenario my price is different on basis of usage(sold and rent) and i want to determine on basis of usage
So I will create table with combination of say SALES ORGZ + USAGE and assign in access sequence and then i will maintain condition record.
So when I will select usage at time of order processing system will bring price on basis of usage
Note : Above is just one illustration for your understanding,
Yo can define usage in IMG >> SD >> SALES >>  SALES DOCUMENT >> SALES DOCUMENT HEADER >> DEFINE USAGE INDICATORS
