There are few APIs in INV_ITEM_CATEGORY_PUB package related to item category. This article will follow a category flexfield structure. Please refer the below post for more detail.

Use following API for assigning a category to a category set. A category will be available in the list of valid categoies for a category set only if it is assigned to the category set. This is a required step if for categories enforce list is checked on.


4. INV_ITEM_CATEGORY_PUB.Create_Valid_Category
