Manage Category Attributes

These are the customizable attributes or fields for item categories. For example, for category Wine, we can define attributes such as: Country, Grape Type, Appellation and so on. In Uniforce POS, you can also use these attributes to generate SKU item number automaticlly so your employees can look at the SKU# on the barcode label stick to an item to identify any possible errors.
