Point of Sale (POS): Configuration: PoS Product Categories
Purpose
PoS Categories are different from the regular categories in the many apps in Odoo, as well as the eCommerce categories. This documentation goes over the PoS Product Categories for the Point of Sale application in Odoo 15, show how to create them, and assign them to products.
Process
To get started, navigate to the Point of Sale app.
Once there, click Configuration > Products > PoS Product Categories.
Note: If you would like to easily re-order the list of existing categories, you can set a sequence number on the form of the category, or use the arrows to drag and drop them to the order you would like. Re-ordering them using the drag-drop method will automatically update their sequence number.
