What are Super Groups? Super Groups are broad categories that you use to manage your business. With CostGuard’s flexibility, you can define Super Groups any way that will help you manage your business. Super Groups keeps all like items together for easier sorting. Later, Reports use Super Groups as a way to categorize the information so you can easily see your problem areas. For more information on Reports, click here.

Other establishments who use an accounting package will setup their Super Groups to match the categories in their General Ledger.
