Hello Nick_crm
A settype can only be assigned to one hierarchy per product type. The SAP delivered settypes that you have mentioned above are assigned to category Z_SLA (type Service). Hence you cannot use them in the category
you have defined (type Service).
It is advised to use the predelivered category SRV_ as a base category for creating services. You can assign the other enhancements (settypes) required to the category you have defined and later assign the service
to this category too.
Incase you do require to assign the mentioned settypes to your category then first you will need to regsiter your hierarchy as the base hierarchy in transaction comm_prapplcat.
I would like to point to the steps below as to how you can find out where the set types are being assigned.
1. Goto the transaction -> COMM_ATTRSET ->  here enter the
set type as ' COMM_PR_SHTEXT' and now click the 'where used list'(there
is a button in the toolbar for the same)
2. Now you should see a list of all category ids along with
hierarchy id's where the settype is being used.
3. Select any one of the category id.
4. Now goto the trx COMM_HIERARCHY -> and click 'Open Category'
5. Now you can see the usage of the settype in settypes tab.
6. To design the settype -> goto the root category and remove the
same , so that you could now assign it to your own category.
Since a settype can only be assigned to one hierarchy per product type, It is advised to use the predelivered category  as a base category for creating services. You can assign the other enhancements (settypes) required to the category you have defined and later assign the service to this category too.
