Edit Product – Product Grouping Section
Navigation
- Go to Products and Inventory → Products List
- Find the product of your choice
- Click the Actions button and select Edit Product
- Under the Product Settings tab, scroll down to the Product Grouping Settings
Overview
The Product Grouping section lets you assign organizational attributes to products:
- Product Groups provide a one-to-one relationship — a product can only belong to one group
- Product Tags provide a many-to-many relationship — a product can have many tags, and the same tag can apply to many products
Tips
- You need to define product groups first using the Product Groups settings screen. See How Do I Define, Assign, and View Product Groups
- Settlement Periods can show financials consolidated by Product Groups
- Filters on product screens can filter on any Product Tag
- You can only assign one Product Group to a product
- You can assign many Product Tags to the same product
- Product Groups are saved on the parent account, so their names are visible to all guest users
- Guest users cannot see data for product groups belonging to marketplaces/accounts not assigned to them
Fields
Product Group
Click on the Product Group field to show a dropdown list of all groups defined through the Product Groups Settings screen.
- Select the group to assign to this product
- Once assigned, the product participates in the financials for that product group, as shown in the Settlement Periods screen
- If the desired group is not on the list, you need to define it first
Tags
Tags are labels you assign to products to identify specific business-related characteristics (e.g., "obsolete", "discontinued", "seasonal").
- Click on the Tags box
- Enter any keyword or sentence
- Press Tab to convert it into a searchable product tag
- Remove tags by clicking the x at the top right of any tag
- Use tags in Filters to show products with similar characteristics
