Configuration of Document Type, Item category

Document type: It controls over how the business process runs for a whole
document because of that it’s at the item level and it also controls over number
ranges. Some of the standard document types are:-

NB Standard PO
UB Stock Transport order
FO Framework order

Item category: It specified how the line item behaves for a business process for a
particular material at that line item.

Standard
L Subcontracting
K Consignment
U Stock Transfer
D Service

Account assignment category: This indicates for which particular department the
line item is procured.
K Cost Center
U Unknown

This three are used by the functional consultant to model the business process.
