Product hierarchy is where you maintain your item code category and classification. (Assignable to the Master Inventory records.) Product Groups allow the classification and sub-classification of items into cross-manufacturer categories, by Product Type you can determine Pricing, Reporting, and Order Generation parameters. The top-level Product Lines allow for the classification of products within Manufacturer Brands, with Sub-Lines allowing further granularity within those brands. A product line is a group of related products that fall into a unique product category or product brand.
