# Item sales categories (IN204060)

Last modified February 19, 2026

> In this window, you can create, delete, and manage the sales categories.


This topic provides information about the elements in this window in Visma Net, such as fields, field values, buttons, and check boxes.

You can also view and update the list of stock items included in the sales categories.

## The Categories pane

In this pane, the existing categories are represented as nodes. You click a node icon to the left of any category to expand the node and view the hierarchical structure of the category. Some categories have a one-level list of categories, while other workspaces have several levels. You click a category to view the items included in the category in the **Category members** table in the right pane.

The toolbar on the pane includes only custom buttons, described below.
