Step 1.
Head to Materials under Global Settings.
Click on Material categories, and click New Material Category.
Step 2.
If complex account mapping is enabled in your organisation's configuration, you can also define a Xero account override.
Each category may be mapped to a separate sale, direct cost (COGS) or expense and current asset account in the accounting system. If there is no selection, the company default account mappings will be used.
Step 3.
For each category, you can define a default stock re-order level (D.S.R.L.), that will be applied automatically whenever a new material item is created in that category.
