Item Groups

You can set up complex item groups to provide greater flexibility in the pricing structures. You can consume 0 category codes to define complex item groups.

For example, if you have two types of pens, marker and ballpoint, within the group PENS, you can specify a different price for each type of pen. When you enter an order for pens, the system checks the category codes that are assigned to the item to determine whether the pen is a marker or a ballpoint and then retrieves the appropriate price.

The category code sequence that you enter determines how the system displays the category code fields on the related forms. The order in which you select category codes does not affect how the system searches for prices.

After you create complex item groups and attach the group name to the item, you generate price group relationships.
