hi siddarth,
we won't assign condition types directly to item categories.
We will place the condition types in pricing procedure as per our requirement and assign that pricing procedure to the combination of sales orgn + Dist. Channel + division + document prcing procedure + customer pricing procedure
the document pricing procedure comes from Sales document functionality
Customer pricing procedure comes from Customer master Data
When we place order we enter doc type, sales area and Customer...based on this combination the pricing procedure is identified and prices, discount and taxes will be calculated for the items which we enter in the sales order.
Item category in the sales order is determined based on the sales doc type + item category group + usage + higher level item category + default itemcatogery.
But in pricing procedure when we place the condition types we can control some features like the condition type is only accessible only when certain precondition met by the item category. I will explain it with example
take the condition type PR00.
for this in pricing procedure in the field requirement we enter as 2 which means 'item with pricing'. that means this PR00 condition type is accessible only if the sales document item satisfies that requirement..if sales document item is standard item TAN ..in TAN item category functionality in the field 'PRICING'  it should contain either 'X' or' B'  then only the price for that particular item category is calculated which means that condition type is executed.
I hope u understand the link between those two.
