Product Groups overview

Product Groups combine products beyond product families. Grouping products based on your business needs, product groups combine products any way you require.

For example, to control all your gas products regardless of grade, create a Product Group called Gas that contains all the individual product codes used for your gasoline products.  This new group builds product allocations on all of your gas products at one time.  Product Groups can be created for individual grades as well so groups could be created that only contain Premium, Regular and Midgrade products.  Then, this creates allocations for those individual grades in their respective groups.

For terminals using the Version 1 protocol (CA/BB/CB), allocations can only return the product family (first letter of the PIDX code) in the authorization string.  Remember this when creating groups to make sure there are no conflicts (i.e. products in family C that are in two groups for allocation at a given terminal).
