Goods & Services Groups

Item groups enable grouping1) refers to presenting similar items with similar qualities together under a common head inside reports and marshalling2) arrangement and order of items in the report in various stocks and sales reports.

The following rules apply:

A group code is comprised of up to four characters.

Any character can be used in the group code. Lower and uppercase letters are differenciated.

Marshalling in the report will be done in the alphabetical order of the group codes.

Group codes with one, two or three characters are used solely for marshalling the report.

An item can only be assigned a single four character group code.

An example arrangement of group codes for goods:

E - Electric

Ec - computer components

Ec00 - Motherboards

Ec01 - Graphic cards

EcM - Memory

EcMd - DDR memory cards

EcMh - Hard disk drives

EcMs - SD memory cards

Ee - electronic components

EeR - Resistors

EeRS - SMD Resistors

EeRT - Through hole Resistors

EeC - Capacitors

EeCX - Capacitors

M - Mechanical

M000 - Mechanical components

[[ Items can only be assigned to the bold groups and reports would be marshalled in the above shown alphabetical order with totals and subtotals.
For example:
