Special Groups

Special groups are created and maintained in Item > Special groups

What are special groups?

  • A special group is a group of any items
  • An item can belong to many Special groups
  • Items do not inherit values from Special groups (as with Retail groups) this means that you can group any items together under Special groups.
  • The Special groups do not affect or work together with Retail groups and Retail departments, but an item can belong to both a Retail group and Special groups.

 

Usage

  • Periodic discounts can be created for all items in a special group.
    • Example: Create a discount for all items of a particular brand even though they are not in the same retail group.
  • use for reports
