# The code of $IC % DIC should &e same'
# (hen you create a ne) $IC* a DIC is also created automatically )ith the same
code'
# +ormally $IC is created &y copying and hence even $rder Item Category
Determination and Delivery Item Category Determination are copied'
# ,ou cannot create a DIC directly in -$L!. if the same code is not availa&le in
$IC' /ut you can delete a DIC* )hich creates a lot of fuss in the system'
# 0n item category is mandatory for all Sales Document lines and Delivery
Document lines'
# If Delivery is created )ith reference to sales order* code of the DIC in delivery
document )ill &e the code of $IC of sales order' /ut if you )ant to add one more
line manually to this delivery document* a ne) DIC )ill &e pic1ed as per the
Delivery Item Category Determination -0"23.' 4or example* DIC is needed if you
)ant to add !ac1ing 5aterials in a Delivery Document manually' Similarly if a

Delivery Item Category (DIC)
TCode: $L!
# Item Category: Delivery item category. 0 classification that distinguishes &et)een
different types of delivery items (for example* return items and text items)'
The delivery item category determines ho) the system processes an item'
7xample
If* for example* you identify an item as a return item* you tell the system* in this
case* that the item is not relevant for pic1ing'
The system proposes a delivery item category'
# Document category: 0 classification for the different types of documents that you
can process in the sales and distri&ution system (for example: 8uotations* sales
orders* deliveries* and invoices)'
The document category determines ho) the system stores and 1eeps trac1 of
document data' It ena&les the system to provide you )ith status information a&out
delivery processing* &illing* and documents that are used for reference (for
example* in8uiries and 8uotations)'
Material/ Statistics
# 5at' +o' 90: allo)ed: 5aterial num&er ;ero allo)ed. Controls )hether it ma1es
sense to enter an item in the SD document )ith this item category )ithout
specifying a material'
It )ould ma1e sense to set this indicator for text items
# Item' Cat' Stat' group: Statistics group for the item category'
Definition : Specifies a statistics group for this item category and helps determine
)hich data the system updates in the logistics information system',ou can assign
statistics groups to each of the follo)ing:
# Item category
# Sales document type
# Customer
# 5aterial
(hen you generate statistics in the logistics information system* the system uses
the com&ination of specified statistics groups to determine the appropriate update
se8uence' The update se8uence in turn determines for exactly )hich fields the
statistics are generated'
<
# St1' Determ' =ule: Stoc1 determination rule. Indicates the stoc1 determination
rule' The stoc1 determination rule and the stoc1 determination group are
com&ined into one 1ey for the stoc1 determination strategy'
,ou define )hich &usiness process uses )hich rule in Customi;ing for each
application'
The stoc1 determination rule has to &e specified in the repetitive manufacturing
profile of the assem&ly &efore a stoc1 determination rule can &e executed for the
component'
Quantity
# Chec1 >uantity 0: Chec1s for ;ero 8uantity' Specifies )hether you can create an
item that has a ;ero 8uantity and* if you do* ho) the system reacts'
7xample
If* for example* in a delivery )ithout reference to a sales order* you create an item
and enter a material )ithout a delivery 8uantity* the system gives you a )arning
&efore you can continue'
# Chec1 5inimum >uantity: Chec1 minimum 8uantity to &e delivered' Specifies
)hether the system chec1s the minimum delivery 8uantity* and* if so* determines
ho) the system reacts if the minimum is not met' ,ou can specify the minimum
delivery 8uantity in the
# 5aterial master record
# Customer?material info record
The value you enter in the Chec1 5inimum >uantity field determines )hether
you receive a )arning or an error )hen the minimum 8uantity is not met' If you
leave this field &lan1 and have specified a minimum delivery 8uantity* the system
gives you a )arning any)ay'
# 0vailC@$ff: S)itch off availa&ility chec1 for delivery item' /lan1 means Chec1
availa&ility
# =ounding: =ounding indicator for )hole?num&er units of measure' If decimal
places are created from arithmetical operations )ith 8uantities )ith )hole
num&ers* this indicator controls )hether or not the num&ers are to &e rounded*
and* if so* ho)'
This can &e used* for example* for the correlation of multi?level &ills of material
in the delivery if the non?availa&ility of a particular partial /$5 in another partial
/$5 )ere to cause decimal positions'
3
# Chec1 $ver Delivery: Control for chec1ing for over delivery' Specifies ho) the
system reacts )hen* during delivery processing* you exceed the original order
8uantity' 4or each delivery item category* you can specify )hether the system
chec1s for over delivery and* if so* )hether you receive a )arning or error during
delivery processing' If you have specified an over delivery limit in the sales order
or in the customer?material info record* you can use this indicator to control ho)
the system reacts' /lan1 means +o Dialog'
Warehouse Control & Packing
# =elevant for !ic1ing: =elevant for pic1ing or puta)ay' Indicates )hether
delivery items of this type are relevant for pic1ing or puta)ay' In the case of
out&ound deliveries* only the delivery items that are relevant for pic1ing are
transferred to the (arehouse 5anagement ((5) component' Certain items such
as text items or service items (consulting activities) are not relevant for pic1ing'
In the case of in&ound deliveries* this indicator controls )hether the item is
relevant for puta)ay' This indicator must &e set in order for the item to &e
included in a (arehouse 5anagement transfer order and then put a)ay
# !ac1ing Control: Indicates )hether delivery items )ith this item category may &e
pac1ed* cannot &e pac1ed* or must &e pac1ed' In the case )here items must &e
pac1ed* they must &e processed for pac1ing &efore goods issue' /lan1 Can &e
!ac1edA 0 5ust &e !ac1edA / Cannot &e !ac1ed
# St' location re8uired: Storage location is a&solutely necessary' Indicates )hether*
during delivery processing* you must enter a storage location &efore you can
completely process delivery items of this type'
# !ac1 acc' /atch items: !ac1 accumulated &atches B movement type item' Specifies
if for a &atch material only the main item )ith the accumulated &atch 8uantity is
to &e pac1ed in the delivery* or if only items in )hich the &atch is recogni;ed can
&e pac1ed' If the field is not set to its initial value* only the main item )ill &e
pac1ed' (hen this indicator is set* deliveries can &e pac1ed automatically* even if
no automatic &atch split occurred'
Notes
If a storage location is CD?managed* that characteristic overrides this indicator' It
is not possi&le to pac1 anything in the delivery regardless of its &atch if handling?
unit inventory management is in use'
# Determine SLoc: Indicates )hether the system automatically determines a storage
location for the delivery item'
E
# DonFt Ch1 St' Loc': Indicator: Do +ot Chec1 Storage Location' Indicates )hether
the system should run a chec1 for the storage location that )as determined' This
chec1 determines )hether the material for that storage location has a
corresponding segment' Select this field if you do not )ant the system to perform
this chec1'
It is a good idea not to run this chec1 if the material for the storage unit that )as
deterimined has not &een created yet or if the material in 8uestion needs a storage
location )ithout a storage location segment (a retail value?only article* for
example)'
# +o /atch chec1: ID: +o &atch chec1' Controls )hether the system chec1s that the
&atch entered in the delivery exists' If you do not )ant the system to chec1 the
&atch* select the field'
It ma1es sense not to carry out a chec1 if the &atch entered does not (or does not
yet) exist in the system' This happens* for example* )hen you create an in&ound
delivery' The same applies if you use )or1 )ith the =B6?=B< lin1 and the &atch
only exists in the local system'
# 0uto /atch Determ: 0utomatic &atch determination' If you )ant to use automatic
&atch determination for materials handled in &atches )ith the specified item
category* activate this field'
(hen you enter a material handled in &atches in a sales order or in a delivery to
)hich an item category )ith this indicator is assigned* the &atch or &atches of this
material that match the customerGs re8uirements are determined automatically'
Transaction Flow
# Text determination !rocedure: Identifies a group of text types that you can use in*
for example* a sales document header' The text procedure also determines the
se8uence in )hich the text types appear in the document'
7xample
The text procedure for a sales document header could include the follo)ing text
types:
# 0 standard header text that the system automatically includes in the
document
# Standard terms of delivery
# Standard terms of payment
# Standard Text: +um&er of the standard text. This is not used at present'
