Subcat 1 / Subcat 2
The Material table can have one or two subcategories activated. Subcategories help group items in a table for reporting purposes. To activate either of the subcategories enter a Label in the Subcat 1 or Subcat 2 field and check the Enabled box.
Enter the list of available subcategories in the Definition field. Type a single unique character identifier followed by a comma and name surrounded by parentheses. There are no spaces between the parentheses or before and after the comma.
Example - Subcategory
An aggregate company sells many types of products; rock, sand, mulch, etc. To enhance reporting capabilities a subcategory can be activated and each material can be associated with one of the subcategories. When reports are run by material, an option to select the subcategory type will be enabled. When one of the subcategories is selected only those material items associated with that subcategory will be included on the report. The subcategory set up would look similar to the image below.
Once active they will be included in the Sub Cats section of the Material table. In the following example a subcategory labeled Type has been added. The drop-down list in the Material table will display Rock, Sand, Mulch, and Other.
