    Hi p_priya,

    Item groups are used to manage inventory by dividing inventory items into groups. And post transactions to different accounts. docs.microsoft.com/.../about-item-groups

    An item model group will determine the rules for handling your inventory transactions of type issue and receipt. Please refer to this blog. axtradeandlogistics.blogspot.com/.../item-model-groups-ax-2012.html

    Hi p priya,

    In a nutshell from my an accountants perspective:

    * Item groups define the accounting, i.e. the ledger accounts used for posting your items

    * Item model groups define the valuation e.g. fifo, lifo, etc.

    There is of course more but that you can do with both groups but that's their main idea.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    Hi Priya,

    Item Model Group and Item Groups: Both are used to categorize/Group your items based on business needs.

    Item Groups: It basically controls ledger posting. let's say you have to maintain different Inventory account, Revenue Account, Discount account, Deferred account for respective item groups (paper clips, Markers, Pens, Pencils)

    Item Model Groups: it has an impact on inventory costing principles (Weighted Average, FIFO, LIFO, Moving average).It also controls if item is stockable or service based.
