A brief description on each of the fields in the Multi Stock Category Creation screen follows.

Under Category

Select the parent category under which you want the new categories to be created. If you select any category other than All Items, all the new categories being created will be created under the selected category. The column Under is filled in automatically with the selected category and the cursor skips this column, which in turn speeds up data entry.

Selecting All Items gives you the flexibility of specifying the parent of each new category created.

Name of the category

If you have selected All Items in Under Category, you must specify a parent category in this column.
