In most cases batch determination is configured at the delivery document level since you have the option of choosing batches using batch split functionality and batch search strategy . Example if the order quantity is greater than the batch quantity the system will give you a delivery control option, in such cases you can
choose batch split functionality and choose the order quantity from the available quantity .

After setting up the Item Category procedure, try this path SPRO for the Sales Org.
