Unsupported Operation CREATE CATEGORY is not supported

[dharmasangha]

Hi,

I'm using API minor version 65

I'm trying to create an item category. The Item documentation says I should be able to set the Type="Category".

My JSON payload is simply:
{"Name": "Category Name", "Type": "Category"}

which results in the error
quickbooks.exceptions.UnsupportedException: QB Unsupported Exception 500: Unsupported Operation Operation CREATE CATEGORY is not supported.

I'm using a Sanbox, and I cannot find how to enable categories for the company. According to this issue, Products & Services -> More should have an option to "Manage Categories", but the only option in the drop-down is "Run Report".

Press "Gears" button -> All lists -> Product Categories
