3. Create a new item group package and assign all affected item groups
The reduction in VAT does not affect your entire product range, it will only apply to food (sales items). Foods in item groups for PurchasingM or ProductionM are not included. Use a new item group package to determine which item groups in your company must be included for the VAT reduction.
- Go to the
Administration tab on the function bar and select
Settings >
Items. On the left-hand side of the window you will see the existing Item groups, on the right-hand side the existing Item group packages. Some item group packages for work instructions or text templates are already available by default.
Note: With the Multi-Companies moduleM you will find item group packages in the
General settings. - Click on
Add and enter a name to create a completely new package.
We recommend the name "VAT reduction 2026" - The item groups affected by the VAT reduction are added by holding down the left mouse button (Drag-and-Drop) from the left field Item group to the right field of the new Item group package . Multi-select is possible by holding down the Ctrl key. Item groups that have been successfully added to the item group package are displayed in bold in the left-hand field.
Note: Top-level groups that are only used for structuring are copied without their subgroups. Also copy the subgroups individually or by multi-select.
Important: To remove item groups from the package, do not use the red minus
, this can irrevocably delete the entire package. Use Drag-and-Drop to drag incorrect item groups from the package back into the left column of the item groups. - Item groups containing items with different VAT rates must not be added to the item group package.
Example: Item groups including food and beverages
