How to add Statistical Group

By | June 26, 2023

An out-of-the box implementation of Sage X3 includes three statistical groups for Products, Customers, and Vendors. Statistical groups provide the means to group or categorize products, customers and suppliers for reporting or inquiries. Sage X3 supports up to five statistical groups, so we can create an additional two groups. Let’s see how we can create an extra statistical group in Customer Master.

Step 1) Go to the Development -> Data and Parameters -> Development Setup -> Activity Codes.

Step 2) Select STC Activity code
