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.
