Item Groups Concepts

Maintain general information about an item group in this workspace.

In the Departments table, enter references to G/L accounts if you want to book sales and cost of sales by item group. This table displays one line for every department created in the Posting References workspace in the G/L module.

Maconomy divides inventory items into a number of logical groupings. You must create these groups in this workspace before you can set up items in the Items workspace, because you must attach items to a group. Maconomy distinguishes item groups from one another by costing method, inventory control, tax codes, and other information, all of which is transferred to the individual item in the Items workspace when you assign an item to a group.

You can change the information for an existing item group after items have been assigned to it, but the new information does not affect the items that are already in the group. Changes only affect new items assigned to the group.
