Hi,
In order to import Item Categories from interface table (MTL_ITEM_CATEGORIES_INTERFACE) to base table, please run the concurrent program using below navigation, this should create item categories in inventory.
Inventory>Items>Import>Import Item Category Assignments.
Excerpts from previous post: ------------
Hi before using the mtl_item_categories_interface you have load all the ietms into inv with the help of mtl_system_items_interface when you do this automatically a default category id and category set_id will be assigned to the loaded items. so when you try to insert it wont take it. instead you have to update the category and category set id if necesaary..so the status should be update and you should provide the defalut category and category set id and along with the desired category id and category set id which you wish to populate. still facing the issue post me ur code I will correct it as i already did this conversions
