Creating Billing Doc

Question

Hello Professionals,
I need some clarification on the copy control and item determination for Billing doc creation.
Am I right to say that :
1. Item category determination can be done 2 ways : from setting in SPRO assign item category and the Maintain copy control for Billing doc in SPRO.
2. Of the 2 places to set item category, the copy control setting for item category will overwrite the Item category determined from assign item category setting in SPRO.
A question I have is :
1. In SPRO maintain Copy Control for Billing Doc, I selected the Target Billing Type and the Source Delivery Type and went into   the item screen, In this screen , I see Item category for Delivery Type but there is no corresponding item category below the Target Billing Type area.
May i know what does this imply?
Thanks.
regards
John

hi john,
read it and revert i hope will clear the issue
system copies the item category from the item category determination rule as specified in the earlier posts,
on the basis of  item category grp in material master,sales  document.
this happens ,provided that you are creating the order w/o ref to any quotation or any other preceding document .
and when the system creates the delivery for this order copying control is used for the data transfer from item category and schedule line data of the order in to the delivery.
-item cat det is done for the first time when the user punches in the data in any document(sales-delivery).
-when user creates any subsequent document from this document then system uses the copy control to fetch in the data that is to be copied from the item category of this preceding document's item category inn to the followup or subsequent doc.
hope this clear your some issues
revert if helpful
