Difference b/w Item Categories & PO Item Category

What is the difference b/w Item Categories & PO Item Category?

Hi amirjaved

First, user must define inventory item category used on item master & to assign item into categories.

Sometimes business need another clarification used with items in purchasing transaction so user can define other item category & used on purchasing transaction.

Ex. Suppose you have items & their inventory item categorizes are RAW (Raw material) & the purchasing department need to separate this category to Local RAW & Import RAW. So user can define other category with value Local / Import then assign to item 2 categories (inventory item category with value RAW / purchasing item category with value Local).

Hope I can help you
Thanks
