be used to clarify whether an item is a stock
inventory item, or one that has to be ordered in
specially from your vendor. As an example;
With Code 1 being COMPUTERS, Type could then be
set as 5 to indicate an Inventory Item or 7 to indicate
a Non-Inventory Item.

to see this product category. If for some reason you
have products that you don't want certain customers or
users to see, then just have this security level,  
higher than that customers security level and they will
not be able to view the items contained in this
category.

Def Margin % :
This percentage is used to calculate the price you are
selling your products within this category for. The
calculation is based upon your choice of either
markup or margin, made in the BUSINESS CONFIGURATION

the product price. The format for the default margin %
is 10 for 10%, etc.
