### Notes on Category Sets ###

------------------------------

MTL_CATEGORIES_B
----------------

MTL_CATEGORIES_B is the code combinations table for item categories. Items are grouped into categories within the
context of a category set to provide flexible grouping schemes. The item category is a key flexfield with a flex code of
MCAT. The flexfield structure identifier is also stored in this table.

MTL_CATEGORY_SETS_B
-------------------

MTL_CATEGORY_SETS_B contains the entity definition for category sets. A category set is a categorization scheme
for a group of items.

Items may be assigned to different categories in different category sets to represent the different groupings of items used
for different purposes.
An item may be assigned to only one category within a category set, however. STRUCTURE_ID identifies the flexfield
structure associated with the
category set. Only categories with the same flexfield structure may be grouped into a category set.

CONTROL_LEVEL defines whether the category set is controlled at the item or the item/organization level. When an
item is assigned to an item level category set within the item master organization, the category set assignment is
propagated to all other organizations to which the item is assigned. VALIDATE_FLAG defines whether a list of valid
categories is used to validate category usage within the set. Validated category sets will not allow item assignment to the
category set in categories that are not in a predefined list of valid categories. Category Sets now support multilingual
category set name and description. MLS is implemented with a pair of tables: MTL_CATEGORY_SETS_B and
MTL_CATEGORY_SETS_TL.

MTL_ITEM_CATEGORIES
-------------------

MTL_ITEM_CATEGORIES stores the item assignments to categories within a category set. For each category
assignment, this table stores the item, the category set, and the category. Items may be assigned to multiple categories
and category sets but may be assigned to only one category in a given category set. This table may be populated through
the Master Items and Organization Items windows. It can also be populated by performing item assignments when a
category set is defined. It is also populated when an item is transferred from engineering to manufacturing.
