  Key Concepts: 
  Document categories are used in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) Delivery Processing to classify documents. They are used to determine the type of document that is being processed and the associated processing steps. Document categories are also used to control the flow of documents within the system. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Document categories are used to define the type of document that is being processed. This can be done by assigning a document category to a document type. The document category will then determine the processing steps that need to be taken for that document type. For example, a delivery document may have a document category of “Delivery”, which will then determine the processing steps that need to be taken for that delivery document. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up document categories, it is important to ensure that they are set up correctly and accurately reflect the type of document being processed. This will ensure that the correct processing steps are taken for each document type.
