Item Category card
Item categories are defined in the Item Category Card by defining the following fields and options:
| Field Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Code | Specifies the identifier of the entire category. |
| Description | Specifies the item category’s description. |
| Parent Category | Specifies the higher level of the category to which this category is linked. |
| Item Template Code | It’s possible to predefine some default values when creating an item using this specific category. You can preset a different unit of measure, posting setup, the price including VAT, and so on. |
| Global Dimension 1 & Global Dimension 2 | These dimensions can be preset, so the item will inherit them. |
| Blocked | You can block the category so that it can’t be assigned to an item. Typically, you can block the first level, which results in the parent category being used as a header. This also happens if the category is no longer being used. |
| Main Category | Here, you can define the logic of the first level, i.e. use the main category as sort of a header. |
| Attributes | You can preset different attributes (e.g. color, size or another specific property like Item Type) to the category. When an item assigned to that category is created, it will inherit the attributes automatically. |
