Categories allow you to organize materials, products, and resources into a logical structure. You can create, edit, delete categories, and change their display order.
Category Types
The system has three main category types:
-
Materials
-
Products
-
Resources
These category types don't overlap. You cannot assign a product to a material category and vice versa.

Important: Some categories cannot be deleted if they are used in storage location settings. In this case, the system will show the message: “This category cannot be deleted because it is used in storage location settings.”
When deleting a category, the associated items (materials, products, resources) will not be deleted.
