Topic: Item category and item type

Hi.. I am using the 2.3.25 version.

The "item types" (B, M, D) are fixed in the code. When we create an item, we select one item type.

On the other hand, we can create "item categories" as we want. But we have to select an "item type" for the "item category". Why? The "item type" is already defined as in the first paragraph.

And further more, what happens if I create an item with an "item type" B and then I assign an "item category" with different "item type" as D for example? Confusing.

Thanks for an explanation.

Re: Item category and item type

Checkout FA v2.4.2 and check and let us know. When a category is set with TaxType (specific to that item) along with ItemType if any, it is a default lookup value that can be changed by the end user for any specific voucher causing the anomaly you allude to. The choice actually determines what default accounts are to be used in the form.
