Major Groups \ Groups
Main Groups are used to summarise Group sales (and associated PLU / Product) information. For example; in a hospitality environment PLU’s such as Bitter, Lager, Whisky, and Vodka would each be linked to a Group.
This can be found under ‘General Database’ -> by selecting ‘Product Grouping’.
In this case, Bitter and Lager would be linked to a group called Draught. Whisky and Vodka would be linked to a group called Spirits. Each group would then be linked to a Main Group in this case Spirits and Draught would both be linked to Main Group Wet Sales.
Which will open a new tab showing your current live Major Groups.
Sales reports can be produced for the individual products (PLU’s), the Groups, or the Main groups. There has been no limit set for the number of Main Groups that can be added in Total Control Premier.

There is no limit to the number of groups that can be added in Total Control Premier, however, the more groups that are added, the less use a grouping structure is in terms of efficiency.
