<p class="Help-Text">The number of merchandise departments you use will depend on how you plan to evaluate sales performance and on your buying strategy. You can put all merchandise into a single department, but you may want to consider the benefits of setting up a more detailed department structure. Carefully planned departments allow you to view, edit, conduct physical counts, or run reports for selected groups of merchandise.</p>
