2. Product Groups
Introduction
Product groups may be used to group parts within the stock file regardless of Franchise, however it is common for
all the parts in a single product group to come from the same Franchise.
Discount mapping is set by Product Group and must be used carefully to ensure that the correct discounting
terms are applied to each group used.
Within the Product Group option the user has the facility to Create, Amend, Delete, Confirm or Cancel.
There is also the option to search which is activated by selecting the ... button (adjacent to the Product Group
Field).
The fields you will find for each Product Group are:
