Item Group is the classification category. Depending on the type of product,
categorise it under its respective field. If the product is
service oriented, name it under the group head - service. If the
product is used as a raw-material, you have to name it under the Raw-material
category. In case, your product is used only in trading, you can categorise it
under Trading.
