With inventory categories you can organize your inventory into both categories and sub-categories, allowing you to manage two levels of categorization and apply it to any type of inventory item.

To create a new category, navigate to Lists > Inventory Categories, and click + Add Category:

Enter the name of the category, and click Save. Now that your category is created, you can create a sub-category and add it to your new category, making it a "parent" category. To create a sub-category, click the ellipsis button to the far-right of your parent company and click Add Sub-Category:

Enter a name for the sub-category and click Save. The sub-category will now be listed, with its gray text signifying the parent category it belongs to:

When creating or editing an inventory part, tire, labor, or fee, you can assign it to a category or sub-category. Click into your categories to find more sub-categories, then click on a category to select it, or use the search bar to find the category or sub-category that you’re looking for.
