Now you have the Product's page open and ready to edit:

Directly under the name of the product is the category that the product is reported to.

After you select the category, click Save and you’re good to go.

 

If you would like a Product reported to two or more Categories, then you will have to define a set proportion to split the Categories. (The Category cannot simply change according to particular invoices or vendors.)

To do this, you can add an additional Category by clicking on +Add a Category.
