Product Group Fields

Product groups enable you to organize item masters into logical groups and assign them to a particular sales representative. Your administrator can set up product groups on the Codes tab. Here is a description of the fields on the Product Group object.

Key: * – Mandatory field

Field Name   Description
Allow Accrual for Intangible  

Indicates whether items in the product group can be accrued for intangible items. When selected, it allows for accrual of intangible items and generates transactions such as ITPR and ITFR records for intangible items when creating a receipt.

Notes:
  • The field is independent of the selection of the Intangible Product field.
  • Intangible items are not stocked allocated or shipped.

By default, it is deselected.

Asset Group   A logical grouping of fixed assets. Examples of asset groups include facility equipment, information technology or vehicles. Asset groups determine the appropriate groupings to use in Fixed Asset Management.

Asset sub groups along with asset groups determine the appropriate groupings to use in Fixed Asset Management.
