Sometimes you may want to collate reports based on categories, this may be as simple as the menu categories we have or something more complex. For example your venue may want to report all Food sales as one total separate to all Beverage sales. This is now possible:

If you go into a specific product to edit you have the option to select a reporting category it belongs to. This can be a different reporting category to what the product category says it should be. Example Category Desserts is assigned to a reporting category ‘food’. The product inside Desserts called Tiramisu Martini is in fact a drink, and can be assigned to a reporting category called ‘drinks’ instead.
