It`s a two-level hierarchy - you may have different Item Categories with unlimited Product Groups within each Category.

Upper level - Item Category - may have default values set for several Posting Groups, Costing Method etc, which - if set - are filled in in corresponding Item Card fields as you select the Item Category.

You can simply play with them in Cronus to see the functionality

Hi

You can set up item category codes with pre-fixed posting groups and costing methods. This means an end user only has to pick the item category code to define the important posting setups in the system.

The product code is essentially a division of the item that can be used in any filtering and therefore any reporting. The item category code can be used in the same manner as well.

Essentially you use them how you want too, you do not have to use them.

The item category is used to default the posting groups. The idea is to train the users to input only one field instead of 2 or 3.

They're also used to categorize your items, if you need to. Nothing more.

Product Group is a "Sub-category".

Lets assume you sell "do-it yourself" items.

One category could be "Painting".
Product Groups could be "Wall", "Floor" , ....

Savatage

Or beauty supplies

HairCare
-Shampoo
-Conditioner
-Gel
-Mousse
-Serum
