These explanations can then be viewed in an information window by using the button to the right of the field. Supplier category can be used as a selection term in different lists.

Category Management
It is possible to activate category management for different types of categories in the system. In the Category Management procedure in the Global Settings module it is then possible to enter more advanced help texts for categories.

These will then become selectable in the drop-down which will be displayed in this field.
