SRM: Item category B/D for limit PO

Question

Hello Team,
Want to pose a question ? When created a Limit PO into SRM (item category Limit), I found that the back-end PO replica is been created with item category D.
Sounds starnge ?
I believe i did build the system correct with new account assignment category for UNKNOWN. Still system is picking up wrong item category and hence all calculations are going awary.
Please advice.
Thanks in anticipation.

Sandeep,
In addition to what Yann said. My analysis is:
There is one more dimention to this is that the vendor master flag "GR-based invoicing" has the impact on POs item category. If this flag from vendor master don't get transferred to PO then implement the OSS notes 956083.
Now after applying this notes you see the standard functionality:
If let say, we are creating PO with "Invoice Only" flag then there are follwoing options:
a) If the "GR based invoice" flag in vendor master is checked then the POs goes into D item category and you can enter a service sheet for them.
b) If the "GR based invoice" flag in vendor master is NOT checked then the POs goes into B item category and you can enter invoice just after PO.
Please assign points as applicable.
