Specifies an inventory posting group code. You can enter a maximum of 10 characters, both numbers and letters.

You set up a code and related information for each inventory posting group. Then you can enter a code in the Inventory Posting Group field on each item card. After this, when you post orders, invoices, credit memos, and so on that involve the item, the program will use the inventory posting group to determine to which account to post.

Inventory posting groups determine the accounts to which transactions involving items are posted in the general ledger. They also allow you to group items for statistical purposes.

Use codes that are easy to remember and descriptive, for example:

Finished, RawMat, Resale

The code must be unique - you cannot have the same code twice in one table. You can set up as many codes as you like.
