Use the Categories screen to manage product categories in the PAYD Pro PlusTM In-Store Solution. Together with brand name, attribute, pricing group, promotion and fee management, category management is part of PAYD Pro Plus inventory management functionality, which is accessed from the Products menu in the PAYD Administration main screen.
Categories enable you to better manage your inventory by hierarchically organizing products into categories similar to how store departments are set up. This allows you to view and track your products in ways that meet your specific needs, such as tracking sales by category (see Total Sales by Category Report). For help on assigning categories to products, see Adding a New Product, Entering Additional Product Information and Editing Product Details.
NOTE: How you structure your categories and the coding you use to identify them are very important factors if you want to take full advantage of the PAYD Pro Plus inventory import function. For help on importing inventory and the connection with category management, see Importing Inventory.
