Creating and managing stock categories

The category/article system as defined above and the stock category/article system are two different entities and therefore stock categories and stock articles should be now defined on their own, through Image s_Stock / Image z_Stock_categories / Image z_Add_stock_category.
 
A stock category is associated with a default or specific 'stock article' and 'pending stock article' external accounts.
 
Once a stock category is defined, it is possible to create a subcategory inside it : for instance, once the stock category 'Chips' is created, a subcategory 'Chips / Low-Fat Chips' can be defined thanks to the 'Category parent:' menu :

Image z_Stock_categories then leads to what is displayed at the figure below ; while all stock categories can be modified, only those who are empty (that is to say, containing no subcategories and no stock articles) can be deleted :
