Product Groups
This document allows the establishment of a Group.
Products within the Stock Account may then be catergorised within the groups defined here. This allows products to be managed in groups for reporting and e-commerce purposes.
How the Group Key is coined / determined is a matter of policy. In large scale situations a structure involving abbreviations and numerals may be necessary.
A standard alternative is to use meaningful whole words which improves readability.
