Product Subgroups

Product subgroups are used for revenue and statistical reporting, to calculate the revenue of individual products into a total per product subgroup. A product subgroup must therefore be specified for each product. Examples of product subgroups are Food, Beverage and Conference Equipment.

Detailed description

Field	Description
Number	A unique numeric code of 2 characters (1-99). The code is used to attach a subgroup to products and is used as a selection option when printing reports For logical financial reporting and to make system maintenance easier, it is recommended to define product subgroups in the same sequence as you have defined product groups. Example. For room revenue, define product group 1 and product subgroups 10 to 19. For F&B revenue, define product group 2 and product subgroups 20 to 29. For meeting revenue, define product group 3 and product subgroups 30 to 39. And so on... Do not change the number once the product subgroup has already been used. This will have the same effect as deleting a sub group, as explained above.
Description	A description of up to 25 characters that can be entered in multiple languages. The description can be printed on reports.
