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.
