Hi,
Yes, you can create as many types as you may need. You should use a Business Adapter for the purpose and feed it with data. In "Purchase Type", select the field that provides you with the required Type.
All the Best

If you're running ITAM as part of Flexera One you will have to contact Flexera Support to get the Purchase Type list extended, please refer to Custom Properties note at the top of the page:

So, tried this, and when I imported the data with the business adapter; and put "Mainframe Software" in the Purchase Type for the import; it changed them all to Software.
Am I missing a step here?

Ahhhh... that makes much more sense. Thank you!

Ah, okay, so you are using cloud solution... You won't be the DBOwner in this case and cannot create the new entries all by yourself. This needs to be requested. My solution is valid when you are DBOwner.
