This guide details how you can manage the classes within your Kitchen Cut system.
Product classes are essential for organising products into meaningful categories, aiding both stock control and reporting. Proper class setup ensures structured data and accurate system outputs.

🧾 What Are Product Classes?
Product Classes allow you to group and manage products based on your internal organisational structure (e.g., Dry Goods, Beverages, Produce). These groupings are useful across purchasing, inventory, and analysis tools in Kitchen CUT.
🌐 Understanding the Global Class
The Global Class is a failsafe category that captures any data that hasn’t been specifically mapped to a class.
-
You can assign any class to act as the Global Class.
-
Only one Global Class can be active at a time.
-
This is a required system setting — all data must belong to a class.
🛠️ If a product or record isn’t mapped to a class, it will automatically fall into the assigned Global Class to preserve data integrity.
