Follow these steps:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. You can see all the existing categories in the system on the path Products > Categories<\/strong>.
\nIf this page is empty, that means there are no product categories defined in the system.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> Click the button “Create Category” in order to add a new category.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

3.<\/strong> Fill simple values like Name and Code (these are unique identifiers for the product category as defined). Select the Gst Tax Type Code (as existing in the system) to associate this product category with the Gst tax type so that this Gst tax is levied on every item belonging to this product category. You can also choose to add Item Detail fields (Like IMEI number, Certificate number or weight etc.) here.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

4.<\/strong> Click the “Create Category” button and see the first entry on the refreshed page of “Categories”.<\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> Download the template for the CSV file to be uploaded.<\/p>\n
