In this step, you define how the item categories are to be represented on the user interface.
Item categories govern how a material is procured. For example, the item category "subcontracting" determines that components have to be provided to the vendor from whom you order a certain product/assembly.
Internally, item categories are represented by a one-character field (e.g. '3' for subcontracting).
Various IDs are used for the representation on the user interface (e.g. 'L' for subcontracting). These IDs are supplied in the standard system and can be changed if necessary.
Change the identifier if necessary.
Please note that the table of item categories
is an SAP system table.
Its content must not be changed by customers.
Even in change mode, you can only display the characteristics of the item categories.
