How to Create New Stock Categories



Stock items are divided into categories, which categories depend on whether Medprax or IQest is used to update stock item information. When Medprax is used, stock is divided into two categories, namely Materials and Medicine. In the case that IQest is used, there will only be one category, which will include Ethicals and Surgicals.
