knowledge base

You can organize your products into different categories. For example, a clothing distributor might first categorize clothing by the brand name, and then subcategorize by the type of clothing articles (e.g. T-shirts, Pants, etc).

To see and manage your product categories, click Product Categories from the View Box of the Inventory Module.

inFlow Inventory allows you to set up your categories to any depth. Also, categories do not all need to be the same depth, so you can subdivide only certain categories.

To add a new Category, click the Add button. This will prompt you for the name of the new category.

Empty categories that have no subcategories within them can be deleted. To do this, select the empty category, click the Remove button. Category with products in them cannot be deleted.

You can view the Product Information for a product by selecting the relevant category and then double clicking the product line on the right side.

Reorganizing your Categories

You may drag and drop your categories using the tree on the left side of the Product Categories screen to rearrange them. You can move Categories to any level of the structure. For example, you may promote a leaf category to be a top-level category by clicking and dragging the category onto the Product Categories item.

Reorganizing your Products

You may also drag and drop products into different categories. To do this, select the category containing the relevant product. Then click on and drag the product from the right side of the Product Categories screen onto the relevant new category.

You can also select a number of products at once by clicking the first one, then holding shift and clicking the last one in a list. All of these products can then be dragged to another category at once.

Each category is collapsible and expandable.
