How can I create more than 2 levels of product categories in Inventory. 

As standard there are 2 levels - parent and child, however I would like to understand how I could create an additional level or 2 so that when I open the product list, I could select a search/filter option that takes me to the top level list which I was hoping to reduce to something like 10 to 15 items.

Once I view that, I would select the product high level category that I want, and drill down from there.

My example is this;

As a stainless steel fabrication shop, one high level category would be stainless steel sections. Under this would be pipes tubes, angles, flat bars, channels, SHS & RHS sections. Then under any one of these sections would be the available sizes and grades

I am sorry to resurrect this older thread, bu I have a follow-up question.

- Is my assumption correct, that when an article has no Income/Expense account defined, the accounts of the product group are used?

- Is my assumption correct, that when a lower level product group has no Income/Expense account defined, the accounts if the higher level product group are used?

Seems only logical, just be be sure...
Thanks

Just to prevent others from falling into the same pitfall:
Inheritance of income and expense accounts goes only ONE level deep...

So my earlier question:

> Is my assumption correct, that when a lower level product group has no Income/Expense account defined, the accounts if the higher level product group are used? Seems only logical, just be be sure...

Can be answered with NO! Products will ONLY inherit income and expense accounts from the group ONE level up...

You can create unlimited child categories by selecting the previous category as the Parent Category. Following is an example


Here the first Category is "All"

Second category is "Saleable" and the Parent category of that is "All"

Third Category is "Booking Fees" and the Parent category of that is "All / Saleable"
