The category fields can be used to analyse sales (or purchases) for the Name by whatever criteria you choose to store, e.g. a regional code in one category, or a code to identify low or high volume customers, wholesale or retail.

You should be consistent about what information is stored in the category fields. For example, if you are storing a regional code in the first category field then always use it for this—don’t be tempted to put other information such as size of business into the field. The powerful analysis reports in MoneyWorks can summarise purchasing and sales information for you by these fields—see Analysis Reports for further information.

The Custom fields are for your own use. The first two fields can contain up to 255 characters each, and the others up to 15.
