Stock Categories

Stock Category offers a parallel classification of stock items. Like stock Groups, classification is done based on similarity in behaviour.

For example,

Stock Item

Sub Group

Main Group

Sub-Category

Main Category

Brand A - 19” TFT

Brand A

Grade One

TFT

Monitor

Brand A - 17” CRT

Brand A

Grade One

CRT

Monitor

Brand B - 19” TFT

Brand B

Grade Two

TFT

Monitor

Brand B - 17” CRT

Brand B

Grade Two

CRT

Monitor

The advantage of Categorizing items is that you can classify the stock items (based on functionality) together – across different stock groups which  enables you to obtain reports on alternatives or substitutes for a stock item.

You now have the details of TFT and CRT products, duly classified. You can also view the Monitor classification.
