Before You Begin: Inventory Organization
Furniture Wizard gives you flexibility to categorize and store your inventory information in a way
that is meaningful to you. It is very important to give some thought to the structure of your
inventory Category and Type/Size fields.
Categories
One of the best things you can do for your store is to think about how your inventory is
categorized before you start entering all your information in Furniture Wizard. Setting up your
categories well will directly affect your ability to run reports and select data that targets what you
want.
For example, the hypothetical store Wizard’s Home Furnishings offers a variety of merchandise.
They might have Bedroom, Upholstery, Mattress, etc. as categories. This would allow them to run
reports on inventory items classified under those categories.
Another store, The Wiz’s Sofas Unlimited, may specialize in Upholstery. They may not have the
need to have an inventory report that categorizes by upholstery since all they deal with is
upholstery. They may set up their categories as Leather, Motion, Sleepers, etc, which would allow
detailed reporting on these categories.
In this report,
inventory items
are reported by
supplier for the
category
“Upholstery.”
You’ll want to have as few categories as
possible but enough to report on the items
you need, such as “Upholstery.”
