  • Key Concepts: 
    Activity category is a term used in SAP to classify activities in the Supply Chain Management (SCM) module. It is used to group activities into categories, such as production, transportation, and warehousing. This helps to organize and manage activities more efficiently. 
    
    How to use it: 
    Activity categories can be created in the SCM module by going to the Master Data tab and selecting Activity Categories. From there, you can create new categories and assign activities to them. You can also assign cost centers and other information to each category.
