Products: Account Category

When editing a specific product, there is an Accounting tab to the right of the General tab.
In this Accounting tab there is a field called “Account Category”.
I cannot find where the input choice is setup.
I see Account Category in another place: Financial:Configuration:Account Configuration:
There is the word Category above 2 fields: Default Account Revenue, Default Account Expense.
So, does Account Category mean: one of Revenue or Expense?
How to populate the Account Category field in Product?
Apologies in advance for another basic question. I see some discussion about Product / Account Categories, but I cannot process this as a new user.

Hello,
It is necessary to create the corresponding accounts and account types, the creation of accounts can be found at https://tryton-gsod.readthedocs.io/projects/modules-account/en/latest/design/account.html, being this site still under construction and not yet official
In the following images there is an idea and you can complement it with the official Tryton demo https://demo5.4.tryton.org with the user demo o admin:

Product

Account Category


Account Revenue

Account Type Revenue

Account Expense

Account Type Expense

Many thanks Alnus. I have reproduced this and it works.
Now, I will have to go back and gain understanding.
This gives me a basis to do that.

The Account Category gets added to products by the account_product module, so you may also want to have a look at the account_product documentation. Which is currently being worked on and a temporary preview of it is available at https://tryton-gsod.readthedocs.io/projects/modules-account-product/en/latest/
