# Category Management

**CATEGORY MANAGEMENT**

Barnet product categorization has 3 levels:

* Conditional Groups are the broadest and by default Barnet breaks them into LRS (for liquor) and NON LRS.
* Category Groups are available as a filter or grouping on most reports. Think: Beer, Wine, Spirits, Tobacco, Non-alcoholic.
* Categories are the most defined. Think: Gin, Vodka, Whiskey, etc.
  * There are some hardcoded categories in Barnet like: Gift Card, Credit, Returns, Rewards, Deposit, etc.
  * Categories set the tax rates on their SKUs for both sales and purchasing.
  * Price rounding can be set in Categories.

Category Groups also have settings while Conditional Groups do not—the grouping is just a report option.
