1. Go to the Business Analytics work center.
2. Go to the Design Reports view.
3. Open the report G/L Accounts - Line Items.
4. Enter mandatory selection data and Journal Entry ID (which has a Journal Entry Voucher as Source Document).
5. Add characteristic Product Category to the report and execute the report.
6. Notice that Product Category is displayed as # Not Assigned, even though there's a Product Category displayed in the Journal Entry itself.

Product Category in this case is a sub-ledger specific data. This can be seen in the Journal Entry, under Items Details: Overhead Cost (ledger). The G/L Accounts - Line Items report is supposed to show only G/L specific data and not sub-ledger data.

For this case, the Cost Centers - Line Items report can be used to see data with Product Category. In Cost Centers - Line Items report the Product Category characteristic should be added via Add Fields function.
