I have just installed RMS Store Operations, and am setting up my departments and categories. We are an apparel company, so our item categories are Shirts and Blouses, Pants, Dresses, Skirts, Jackets, and a handful of others. We are also a clearance outlet for multiple clothing lines, so our departments are Businesswear, Casualwear, Formalwear, Designer, and Essentials (everyday garments). As you can imagine, most of our garment categories are not exclusive to just one department. "Shirts and Blouses", for example, should appear in every department. However, it does not appear that I can have the same category code in multiple departments. With 5 different departments, I would have to create 5 different categories named "Shirts and Blouses", each with a different category code. When it comes time to put all Shirts and Blouses on discount, my store manager doesn't want to have to pick five different categories.
Is there any way to use the same category and category code in multiple departments?
