Item Categories for Configurable Materials 

In the standard R/3 System, the following item category groups determine which item categories are assigned to configurable materials in the sales order:

· Item category group 0002

Pricing and transfer of requirements for header material (refer to Graphic 1)

· Item category group 0004

Pricing and transfer of requirements for components (refer to Graphic 2)

The BOM of the configurable material may contain configurable assemblies, which are copied to the sales order as subordinate items. The item category group of the materials and the item category of the superior material determine the item category of these subordinate items.
