Work with stock categories (DIR08501)

In this program you maintain stock category information and the stock category codes used by the non-conformity certificates (NCC) handling.

If DC1 Warehouse Management is installed and activated, each stock category can be connected to one or more quantity types in the Stock category/quantity type table. This connection defines the attributes of the stock category. You can then connect a stock category to a location (in the Location table). This allows item quantities in the location to be viewed differently by DC1 rather than regular inventory, based on the definition of the associated quantity type(s). The location may then contain item quantities that are on hold, damaged, unreliable, etc. A stock category must exist in this table before it can be assigned to a location.
