Understanding the Copying of Localized Category Codes

Category codes are values that you assign to an item in a branch/plant. You can use the Item Branch/Plant program (P41026) to copy an item from one branch/plant to another. When the system copies the item, it copies the localized category codes and all the attributes of the item to the new branch/plant. With this program, you can avoid the complex task of creating an item and defining the category codes as you can retain or modify the existing category codes on the new branch/plant. The system stores the copied category codes in the Item Branch Tagfile (F75I602).

You can use the Customer Master Information program (P03013) to copy a customer record from one customer master to another. The system copies the localized category codes and all the attributes of the original customer master record to the new customer record. The program enables you to create a customer record with predefined category codes and thereby prevents you from having to create a new record and define the attributes again. The system stores the copied category codes in the Customer Master Additional Info Tagfile (F75I331).
