Amend a product group for a single stock item

You can usually change the product group associated with a stock item, if the new group uses the same Product type.

There are some situations where you may not be able to change the product group for the stock item, and Sage 200 will warn you if these occur.

You cannot change the product group for a stock item when:

• The stock item has negative stock levels and the new product group does not allow negative stock.
• The new product group has a different Product type. For example, your stock item belongs to a product group with a Miscellaneous product type and you want to change it to a product group with a Stock type.
• The new product group uses batch or serial numbers, but the stock item does not currently use batch or serial numbers.
• The new product group uses the actual costing method, but the stock item currently uses a different costing method and you have already recorded some stock for this item.

Note: If the change of product group means that the stock item will now use different units of measure or will change to use the standard costing method, please check the stock item details after you change the product group.
