Product groups in PIC
Understand how to group the catalog to organize the offering, searches, and commercial consistency in the portal.
Prerequisites
Before using this guide, the user must have permissions over the commercial catalog or its base configuration.
1. Process introduction
The product groups module lets you structure the catalog into categories that are useful for operations and commercial reading. It is an organizational layer that makes searching, classifying, and maintaining the portfolio easier.
From here, users define groupings that later affect catalog navigation and how products are interpreted in other flows.
2. Business value
When the catalog grows without grouping criteria, it becomes harder to maintain, search, and sell clearly. PIC uses this module to reduce that dispersion.
This brings commercial order and improves how other users interpret the available offering.
3. How to operate it in the portal
This module does not represent a transaction, but a decision about how the catalog is organized.
2
Validate the grouping criteria
Make sure the group makes sense for the catalog and can be understood by other users in the commercial process.
Attribute guide and role within the process
| Field | Meaning | Source or reference | Required | Depends on | Process impact |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Group name | Describes the category under which similar products will be organized. | Defined internally according to the catalog logic. | Yes | Must be consistent with the portfolio and avoid unnecessary overlaps. | Improves reading, filtering, and maintenance of the catalog. |
Relevant validations and considerations
Avoid ambiguous groups
If the category is unclear, it later becomes hard to keep the catalog consistent.
