Manage Item Categories
Item Categories help you organize your inventory into logical groups — for example, Electronics, Clothing, Food, Raw Materials, or Finished Goods. Categories make it easier to filter items in the stock view, generate category-wise sales and stock reports, and keep your inventory structured as it grows. A well-organized category system is especially valuable when you have hundreds of items and need to quickly find or analyze specific product groups.
Steps
- Navigate to Inventory > Items.
- Click on "Manage Categories".
- Click "+ Add Category" to create a new category.
- Enter the Category Name and save.
- Use Edit or Delete icons to modify or remove categories.
- Assign categories to items while adding or editing them.
Tip: Well-organized categories make it easier to filter items, generate category-wise reports, and manage inventory efficiently.
Common Questions
Currently, Stock Register supports a flat category structure (single level). You can create descriptive category names to indicate hierarchy, such as 'Electronics - Mobile' and 'Electronics - Accessories'.
Items in that category will become uncategorized. They will still exist in your inventory but will not be assigned to any category until you reassign them.
