Product Classifications


Product classifications are used for extra details relating to the product, i.e. colors, sizes, specification etc.
These classifications can be seen by going into the detail of a product. Click 'Change' or double click on the product in the stock database:Image

The text headers for these classifications can be changed to read anything you like in System Functions > System Setup > Language (tab) > Other

In the above example:

Price Includes = Classification 1
Sub Category = Classification 2
Sub Category = Classification 3
Inspection Level = Classification 4

Please contact Industry Software Support if you require assistance with language changes.
