The Item Category form and grid will receive a new layout in Q1 2023 to provide Users the option to create and edit Item Categories in Smart Ops.


The Item Category form now opens in sidesheet rather than a new window, and the form has five new information fields. The Item Category List has been updated for Smart Ops.
