Item category usage - how to configure
My client requirements are
Need a new Usage code (item category usage)
description = "Included with System "
The users will use this to add items to the sales order as Free Goods but the revenue for the items is already embedded in the main item
How to configure this?
Also are there any additional updates required to allow the usage code to be used ?
Thank you!
Hi
Usage indicator is something else. Just go through F1 help and see for what purpose we can use this field. What you are looking for is free goods configuration. This has been discussed so many times. Search with thext free goods and see if you find something. If you have some other requirement then come again with more explanation.
Thank$

Item Category Usage: An item categories usage is defined by SAP when creating a sales order, The system determines for example, that the usage refers to a text item as oppossed to a deliverable item when you enter text in the order item rather than a material number. Based on this usage, the system will use the item category determination to propose an item category.
You can also find the usage in Custoemer material info record (T.Code VD51), if you want to determine any customer specific item category you may use the usage field in Custoemr master info record.
You can devlop an user exit to determine the item category based upon usage field as well.

Item Category usage & Main Item Category(Transaction Process)
Hi Friends,
Can you help me to know the details of Item Category usage & Main Item Category in Transaction Process.
I couldn't able to find the usage of these, while we are assigning Transaction type, Item category group, Item category usage & Main item to the Item category determination, the system is taking Transaction type data from Leading transaction type & Item category group from Product master data, then what is the use of Item category usage & Main item, where we need to maintain these details in system, Is it mandatory?, How come we know this is mandatory while doing configuration?..........
Can you let me know the use of Item Category usage & Main Item Category in Transaction Process.
Thanks & Regards.......
ArunHi Arun,
Item category usage is mailnly used for text items not for products..
its not all mandatory.
In item category determination only Transaction type, Item category Group and Item category is mandatory,
The main item category is necessary only when ur lower level item is dependent on ur higher level item.
For more Info read the documentation in SPRO.

Hi Gurus
Please tell me how item category usage is getting assigned to a material?
We define item category usage...
We assign it to a sales doc typ, item category group to get item category.
But how it is getting determined for a material? Where is the link?
Regards
Muralihello, friends.
i've actually been thinking about this issue since i started posting. yes, you can find item usage in customer-material info. but where is item usage assigned so that this is relevant in item category determination (as in: sales doc type + item category group + item usage + higher level item category = item category)?
how does the system, for example, know that usage is blank (for normal processing) or 'FREE' for free goods? is the item usage in the condition records created?
where does the system find the indicator (item usage CHSP) when batches are involved?
although there have been many helpful threads, including the 'where used' list, a definitive answer would be very much welcome.
regards.

User Exits for Item Category Determination based on Item Category Usage
Hi Gurus,
If I need to create a new item category usage code and perform item category determination using the new item category usage code, is there a user exit or function module which is able to perform this?
Thanks & RegardsHi Lawrence Tam,
If you are going to create a new item category usage to determine an item category, you need to add a new line in transaction VOV4 for the new combination of sales document type + Item Cat. group + usage + high leve item cat. to determine the item category.
Thanks in advance,

We define Item Category Usage in 0VVW T code . But I want to know , where we can maintain it so that system picks up the usage for that particular item in sales order when we maintain the usage for an example FREE ( Free Goods ) in item category determination ?
Example :
In item category determination we maintained
item category group - NORM
Sales doc type - OR
Usage - FREE
Higher level item - Blank
Item Category - TANN
So from where does the system picks up this Usage ( FREE ) for that item

Item Category Usage: Free
Hi
Want to know significance of Usage Free, know that used in VOV4 , but scenario where this is used , for eg when we define TAN and higher level Item Vcat as TAN the result is TANN.
Also I have searched the usage field in MARD/MARC/MARA, no mention of usage field
Document type OR
Item cat group NORM
Usage FREE
Higher level item category TAN
Default Item category TANN
Regards
RohitHi bahlrohit1,
Usage field will tell what is the purpose of Particular Material
Example:
FREE: For free goods Material
CHSP: Batch Items
TEXT: Text Materilals..etc
Higher level item category and Item usage are used in the item category determination.
Let me take an example of Item Category TANN (Free of charge Item)
Item category Determination: Sales Document type + Item Category Group + Usage + Higher Level Item Category
TA + NORM + FREE + TAN = TANN
Higher Level Item category: The category on which this item category is dependent. meaning for TAN , TANN is a free item. Therefor TAN is the higher level item category.
Item Category Usage: It controls system response during document processing. The line item has an specific usage according to that usage it has to respond. Free for free items, text for text items etc.
Please go thru the below issues

Where is the item category usage data stored?
Where is the item category usage data stored?
I'm checking the CRM system of my customer. My customer uses CRM & ERP system. Both BP data and prodact data are connecting from ERP to CRM. In Item category determination on CRM system, Item category usage exists as a condition. I know where I customize the usage setting. However,I don't know where ithem category usage data is stored. Product master data? or BP master data? Does anyone have this information?
BestRegards
MikiIf you are refering to Item category group, then this is stored o product master data on sales organizational specific data.
If you are refering to Item category usage then there is a different logic. Item category usage is is mainly hardcoded in ABAP programs. For example one logic is hardcoded for interchengabilty scenaro. In some cases you can even use badi implementation.

Where do we assign ITEM CATEGORY USAGE to a material?
Hi all,
I have understood the calculation of ITEM CATEGORY based upon ITEM CATEGORY USAGE and three values.
Can someody tell me where do we link this ITEM CATEGORY USAGE and the Material?
Where do we assign this ITEM CATEGORY USAGE to a Material?
Thanks and Regards,
Maxhi
item cat usage is basically one of the factors that determines the item category.
this is assigned in item cat determinmation VOV4,
as you can see there USAGE field basically suggessts, the nature of the item.
for example if the item is normal item,the usage field is left blank,
if it is a free item, then usage will reflect 'free".
like wise for text item "text"and so on.
from this you can understand what is the charecter of the item.
hope it is useful to u.

Where in the CRMD_ORDER screen we can maintain the Item category usage for an order item? In the CRMD_ORDER screen in Item details tab I can find the Item Category, but not the item category usage.
Hi Maggie,
in case a new item is created via an action, you can maintain/define the item usage via the container element within the action definition. Field to be maintained: ITM_TYPE_USAGE enter needed value under tab "Intial Value".

Higher level item category & Usage
Hi All,
Can some one please provide a detailed explanantion on higher level item category and usage with an example.
Best Regards,
Rameshitem cat detm
order type + item cat group + high level itemcat + usage = item cat
in an order item cat is determined in the following way
order type = manually enterd at intial screen level
item cat grp = picks from MMr sales org 2
<u>high level item cat</u> = this is picked from sales oder line item ITEM CAT FEILD ok
ex -- in a sales order u have 3 line items
1 mat1 TAN
2 mat2 ZTAN
here z tan is determined by OR + NORM + TAN + - = ZTAN
means the higher level item cat of line item oder can also influence the next line items item catg if maintained in vov4
usage = even this place a vital role in determining item cat
you can find this field in CMIR customer material info record from wher you ge thtis field
ex if you maitain usage in VD51 then
OR + NORM + - + - = TAN
OR + NORM + - + xxxx = XTAN
this xxxx(usage) is maintained in VD51 from where the system picks up and checks wether a proper item cat is mainted for this comb in VOV4

Diff between TAN and TAS item category
hi
wht is the diffrence between TAN and TAS item category and how to configure during implementation stage.
ThnaksHello,
Main difference between TAN and TAS is, TAN is relevent for delivey and TAS is not relevent for delivery.
TAN is used in normal business process and TAS is used in third party process.
In the item category determination it will be like
OR -- NORM--> TAN --> TAS
OR --> BANS --> TAS.

Regarding usage in item category determination
what the use of usage in item category determination,how many types are usages are there in sap sd item category determination
Hi,
An item categories usage is defined by SAP when creating a sales order. The system determines,
for example, that the usage refers to a text item as opposed to a deliverable item when you enter test in the order item rather than a material number. Based on this usage, the system will use the item category determination to propose an item category.
You can see all of the item category usage indicators in SPRO, SD > Sales > Sales Docs > Sales doc items > Define Item cat usage.
Example:
For Material Determination
Usage we use is PSHP for Displaying Main Items
Usage we use is PSEL for Displaying Sub Items
This usage we use for OUTCOME
Outcome: outcome controls whether substituted material
Should be replaced or displayed as sub items.
For Free Goods
Usage is free
Configure these usages in vov4.

Item Usage in Item Category Determination?
What is Item Usage in Item Category Determiantion?
Hi Farhan,
Usage field will tell what is the purpose of Particular Material
Example
FREE: For free goods Material
CHSP: Batch Items
TEXT: Text Materilals..etc
Item Category Usage: It controls system response during document processing. The line item has an specific usage according to that usage it has to respond. Free for free items, text for text items etc.
Usage field will covney the material details.
The usage field tells whether it is related to the higher level of item category. and how that material given usage should behave in the partifular sales order line item. for example in free goods we give this usage as free and in text items and in material determination and in BOMS. u can also view this in CMIR.
Item category Determination: Sales Document type + Item Category Group + Usage + Higher Level Item Category
TA + NORM + FREE + TAN = TANN
Hope this will solve your problem.
Reward Pts if it solve your problem.
Thx & Regards,

Usage in Item category determination
Hi friends,
In delivery item category determination there will be in field called "Usage" . Delivery type will be coming from delivery document type, Item category group will be coming from material master. In the same way where from this Usage data will be coming. How come the system knows which is FREE, CHSP, Etc??
Can anyone explain me in detail please.
Ratna KumarHi ramarao
Spro --> Sales and Distribution --> Sales --> Sales Documents --> Sales Document Item --> Define Item Category Usage
Item usage controls how the item category should behave during a document processing. Item usage controls the usage of the item. Item usage tells wheather it is a text item , free item , product selection item etc
We can maintain Item usage feild at CMIR also
