Using product accounting categories
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
You set the accounting properties of a `Product <concept-product>` in the
|
|
product's accounting `Category <model-product.category>`.
|
|
You can only use product categories that have been specifically marked as
|
|
accounting categories for this.
|
|
|
|
How you decide to structure your accounting categories is very dependent on
|
|
what your products are, and how you want to group and manage them.
|
|
|
|
In a clothes company you may have some accounting categories for::
|
|
|
|
Clothes
|
|
Shirts
|
|
Children
|
|
Adults
|
|
Shoes
|
|
Children
|
|
Adults
|
|
|
|
If you were using this structure then you could define different rates of
|
|
:abbr:`VAT (Value Added Tax)`, or :abbr:`GST (Goods and Services Tax)`,
|
|
for children's and adults' items.
|
|
It would also allow you to define different revenue
|
|
`Accounts <account:model-account.account>` for the revenue generated from the
|
|
sales of clothes and the revenue generated by selling shoes.
