Item Category Table
Contains information about the item categories that have been set up, including information about default values for posting groups, costing methods, and tax groups.
You assign an item category to an item when you create an item card. When the an item card for a nonstock item is created the first time, the nonstock item is entered on a sales line, the content of the Item Category field on the nonstock item card is copied to the item card. At the same time, the Def. Gen. Prod. Posting Group, Def. Inventory Posting Group, Def. Tax Group Code, Def. VAT Prod. Posting Group and Def. Costing Method fields are automatically copied to their related fields on the Item Card.
You enter information about item categories in the Item Categories window, which is accessed on the item card or the nonstock item card by choosing the Item Category Code field.
