Applying Modifiers Based on Item Category (Doc ID 1317748.1)

Symptoms

Values of Category Set Name, Category Name etc used in below example are fictitious and used for illustration purpose only.

Trying to understand why two surcharge modifier lines are applying.

Setup:
category set = COMPRAS
Flex Structure = PO Item Category
Default Category = ACCESS INFORMATICA
ESCRITA
MOVEIS

category set = INVENTARIO
Flex Structure = PO Item Category
Default Category = ESCRITA
Categories
MOVEIS
ESCRITA

For the functional area, Order Entry, category set = COMPRAS.
PTE form
Source Systems tab
Advanced Pricing
Under Functional Areas for Source Systems

Purchasing.....COMPRAS...disabled

Order Entry.....COMPRAS....Enabled

Surcharge Modifier defined with many lines, but the two important lines are:
Item Category = MOVEIS
Item Category = ESCRITA


Here is what happens:
When item defined with Categories (Items definition form):
Category set / Category
Inventario / ESCRITA
Compras / MOVEIS

Both modifiers lines - ESCRITA and MOVEIS - apply to order.

Why?

It seems to support the pricing engine is ignoring the category set/category
combination as given in the Items definition form.
Even though COMPRAS is defined/associated as the default category set, the
item is only defined in the category = MOVEIS.....ESCRITA should not apply.

NOTE: Yes, in the category set = COMPRAS, it contains categories of MOVEIS
and ESCRITA. But in the  items definition form, the item is only defined in
MOVEIS for category set = COMPRAS.
