Inventory classes

Inventory classes are used to categorize your items. During Inventory Control setup, you can add freight classes, inventory classes, sales classes and purchasing classes to each of your inventory items.

  • Freight class is a code you define to provide information about an item's freight. Item and Order Billing uses this class for its bill of lading processing.
  • Inventory class is a code you define to use as a selection criteria for inventory replenishment, physical inventory, and reports and inquiries.
  • Sales class is a code you assign to an item to define pricing information. Item and Order Billing uses this class for Global Ledger account defaulting and pricing.
  • Purchasing class is a code you use as a criteria to limit a buyer to ordering certain kinds of items.
