Item category

Item Category

An Item Category is a node in a hierarchical structure grouping items with similar characteristics.

Categories can be user-defined or based on GS1 GPC Bricks. The hierarchy can be as deep or shallow as needed.

Example:

All items should have a category, at any level of the hierarchy. Create categories first, then assign their IDs to items.

See Item Category inheritance for more details.
