Add a Store Class

Use store classes to group stores together for reporting purposes, e.g. sales, service, and construction. Financial statements can be grouped by store class for a comprehensive comparison. For example, assume that you operate three retail stores, one construction department, a service department, and a delivery department. By default, you can view the Income Statement with each store as a column; however, you want to see how retail is performing compared to construction and service. Assign a store class of "Retail" to each retail store, a class of "Construction" to your construction store and "Service" to both the service department and delivery department. The Income Statement will then combine like store classes into a single column for comparison purposes.
