Hi,

item category K is for consignment process. This is always with material master (goods , as the stock is still in supplier responsibility until the stock transfer to own storage.

See Online help Item Category - SAP Help Portal

You just need to fill the "Account Assignment Category" with K using a non-stock material in the material group and in the "Material Data" tab maintain the "Product Type Group" with service "2"
