Stock Categories

• This tab allows you to set up the way in which you would like to categorise your stock in Retail 365

• Upon the installation of Retail 365 in your store, the stock category 'Group' will automatically be set up

• While the product category 'Group' (fragrance, skincare, vitamins, etc.) is the most widely used stock category, you can set up other stock categories from this tab (For Example: Price Range)

• Multiple categories can then be applied to any one product

• For example, a product may have a category of ‘High Price Item’ under the stock category ‘Price Range’ and the category of ‘Fragrance’ under the stock category ‘Group’

• Product categories are divided into Levels. A Level 1 category is the most general product category. Every Level 1 category can have subcategories/levels under it (Level 2- Level 5).

• Let us take an example of a product to further explain this. The product in question is a Baby Monitor

• We have assigned two types of stock categories to this product:

Category 1: Group

• Level 1: Baby Care Dept
• Level 2: Baby Accessories
• Level 3: Monitors

Category 2: Price Range

• Level 1: High Priced Item
• Level 2: Front of Shop with Security Tab
