Inventory categories allow you to specify the accounting behavior of a group of items. Products are part of an inventory category, and for this reason, it is not necessary to specify the accounting parameters in each product sheet.
An inventory category should not be DESTROYED if it has been used for sales because the sales statistics will be lost. In addition, before destroying a category, you should ensure with the inventory check that there are no more items associated with this category.
Otherwise the items will become orphans (no more category) and can no longer be sold.
Instead of deleting a category, simply rename it by changing the description.
Among the important information in this sheet:
Inventory Management Type specifies how the system should manage inventory quantities for sales and purchases. Items that are part of a category with no management cannot be used in a supplier order or in a purchase invoice. These items will not be removed from the inventory during a sale.
Commission Type allows you to specify the method for calculating sales commissions for all items in this category. However, it is possible to specify specific values ??for each item.
G/L Accounts These boxes must all be filled in to ensure the proper functioning of the category at the accounting level.
Depending on the languages ??installed in the customer services (if installed) there will be a description section for each additional language. This description will be used in the appropriate language for the catalog, online purchases, etc... |
