Categories allow you to be as broad or as specific as you'd like in terms of tracking sales. For example, you can enter a category called Dog Food and attach that to all dog food items. The sales report will print one total for all Dog Food. Or, you can enter a category called Brand X Dog Food and attach it to only Brand X food. You can then create a category called Brand Y Dog Food and attach it to all Brand Y food. When you run the sales report, you will get a total for each brand.
