  If the document header is incorrectly set to use the FFF flag, you may need to adjust this setting to align with the item category type being used.
  Ensure that the FFF flag is only enabled for item categories that are compatible with it.
  
  
  
  Review Customizations:
  
  If there are any custom developments or enhancements in your SAP system that might affect item category handling, review those to ensure they are not causing the issue.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
