Information Printed on This Report
- The default price list for the category, if one has been assigned.
The code of the default price list appears automatically on item records you add that use the category, but you can assign other price lists to items.
- The commission rate allowed on sales from the category.
This rate is used by Sage 300 Order Entry for commissions unless it is zero. If this rate is zero, Order Entry uses the salespersons' rates specified on the O/E Salesperson Commission Rates screen.
Note: The commission rate appears only if you selected the Allow Commissions option for the category.
- The general ledger accounts to which you post transactions for each category.
- The tax authorities and tax classes applicable to each category.
Category tax information appears as the default information in new item records you assign to the category.
