Creating a Major Group

1. Click Master Data, and then click Major Groups.
2. Click New, enter the Major Group name, and then select the Type.

   Once a major group is saved, you cannot change its type. The type designates all item groups and items that belong to the major group. Although you cannot change the type, you can delete and re-add the major group as long as it does not have any item groups assigned.

3. Select the Sales Tax, and then enter the Over Group or place the cursor in the Over Group field and press Enter to select the over group from a list.

   Over group assignment is based on the major group type selected.

   The sales tax rate defined here is used in recipes that belong to this major group. This enables a more detailed cost calculation, including net and gross sales price.

4. (Optional) Enter the Rev. Account (revenue account) or the Cons. Account (consumption account), and then select the expenses category for accounts payable (A/P) or general ledger (GL) reporting.
5. Click Save.
