Setting Up HQ Material Categories

HQ Material Categories group materials by type for reporting and inventory organization.

Before you start

• Decide how you want materials grouped (by commodity, part family, and so on).

Steps

1. Open HQ Material Categories.
2. Add a category with a unique name and clear description.
3. Assign materials to the category (see Managing HQ Materials).
4. Save.

Notes

• Duplicate or inconsistent categories weaken inventory reports.
