Products

Definition:

Products are Catalog Items offered for sale.

Products can be tangible (i.e. a physical piece of equipment) or intangible (i.e. a telephone number)

Products can usually be recorded in an inventory (again, equipment in stock or available telephone numbers)

Products can be associated with Miscellaneous Charges, for example, a delivery charge or an installation fee.

Products can be combined together with other Products, Services and/or Misc. Charges inside Grouped Offers

• On the 'Products and Services' page, click on the 'Add Product' link.

Once you have created a new Product, you may associate various mandatory and/or optional Misc. Charges to the Product as you deem appropriate, by clicking on the 'Add Misc. Charge' link.
