Add a Product Category
All categories, including Product Categories, are used to set up a predefined list of elements that can then be applied throughout the Safefood360° modules without having to type these categories twice, or to remove the fear of an operator not knowing the correct category that should be selected. Product Categories can be selected in the Scope of Approval section of the Approval workflow of a Full Assessment Record in the Supply Chain Management module. Examples of Customer Categories can include Dairy, Meat, Fresh Fruit & Vegetables, RTE Salads, etc.

1. Name: Enter the name of the required Product Category. [Mandatory]
2. Folder: Place your Product Category into a folder to keep your data organised. If you do not have many different Product Categories to add, you can add them to the grey default system folder called 'Product Category'. To add a new folder or sub-folder, click 'New Folder' and then name it. The changes will be automatically saved when you click outside of the box.
3. Description: Add a Description of the Product Category to help other system users to better understand when this Product Category is applicable and should be selected.
