Hi
I'm not very clear on exactly what you're asking but here's a general guideline. As you know, every item in your database must be in a sales category. This I usually keep simple such as Food, Beer, Liquor. That's it.
Then with the non-sales categories I go crazy. I have dozens of them. They don't show on the sales report, I use them mostly to program promos and to get custom reports when I need them. I don't see much use in cluttering a daily sales report. If you have a more specific question from here please post it.

I have two locations: a Steakhouse and a bar. At the bar we don't sell much food, so my sales categories are liquor, beer, wine, food, and mods/misc (for modifiers and miscellaneous upcharges). I also have a couple non sales categories for promotional purposes.
At my steakhouse, most of our sales are food, so I have the food broken down into various categories so can we can closely monitor our cost percentages. There, we have it broken down into NA Drinks, Salads, Desserts, Seafoodd, Poultry, Pasta, Steaks, Liquor, beer, wine, and Mods/Misc. All items is the only nonsales category we use there.
