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 Sub-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

Procedure to follow when creating Products:

• On the 'Products and Services' page, click on the 'Add Product' link.
• Fill out the General Section of the Product information page (Name, Description, Category),
  • Populate the Commissionable check-box if Sales Commissions can be earned on the sale of the Product,

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

Finally, you may associate one or more Contract Types with the Product, again, by clicking on the 'Add Contract Type' link.
