Categories enable you to track the profitability of departments, offices, properties, and other business segments.
For example, the Sales department of a car dealership could use categories to help them track the profitability of the car models they sell: say, model A, model B, and model C.
When entering a transaction, you need to allocate the appropriate category to it. You can then prepare a profit and loss statement for each category.
