Item Group

An Item Group is a method of organizing items by their type. You can assign a product to a specific category based on its type. For example, if the product is a service, you can assign it to the "service" group. If it's a raw material, you can assign it to the "Raw Material" group, and if it's used only in trading, you can assign it to the "Trading" group.
